The remote GitHub MCP Server is hosted by GitHub and provides the easiest method for getting up and running. If your MCP host does not support remote MCP servers, don't worry! You can use the [local version of the GitHub MCP Server](https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server?tab=readme-ov-file#local-github-mcp-server) instead.
20+
21+
## Prerequisites
22+
23+
1. An MCP host that supports the latest MCP specification and remote servers, such as [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/).
24+
25+
## Installation
26+
27+
### Usage with VS Code
28+
29+
For quick installation, use one of the one-click install buttons above. Once you complete that flow, toggle Agent mode (located by the Copilot Chat text input) and the server will start. Make sure you're using [VS Code 1.101](https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_101) or [later](https://code.visualstudio.com/updates) for remote MCP and OAuth support.
30+
31+
32+
Alternatively, to manually configure VS Code, choose the appropriate JSON block from the examples below and add it to your host configuration:
33+
34+
<table>
35+
<tr><th>Using OAuth</th><th>Using a GitHub PAT</th></tr>
36+
<tr><th align=left colspan=2>VS Code (version 1.101 or greater)</th></tr>

73+
}
74+
```
75+
76+
</td>
77+
</tr>
78+
</table>
79+
80+
### Usage in other MCP Hosts
81+
82+
For MCP Hosts that are [Remote MCP-compatible](docs/host-integration.md), choose the appropriate JSON block from the examples below and add it to your host configuration:
83+
84+
<table>
85+
<tr><th>Using OAuth</th><th>Using a GitHub PAT</th></tr>
86+
<tr valign=top>
87+

94+
}
95+
}
96+
}

```
98+
99+
</td>
100+
<td>
101+

"url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/",
107+
"authorization_token": "Bearer <your GitHub PAT>"
108+
}
109+
}
110+
}
111+
```
112+
113+
</td>
114+
</tr>
115+
</table>
116+
117+
> **Note:** The exact configuration format may vary by host. Refer to your host's documentation for the correct syntax and location for remote MCP server setup.
118+
119+
### Configuration
120+
121+
See [Remote Server Documentation](docs/remote-server.md) on how to pass additional configuration settings to the remote GitHub MCP Server.

The GitHub MCP Server supports enabling or disabling specific groups of functionalities via the `--toolsets` flag.
