GitHub MCP server with the Copilot CLI

The GitHub Copilot CLI ships with GitHub's MCP server enabled by default, so no extra MCP configuration is required to talk to GitHub from copilot. The CLI (and its bundled GitHub MCP server) authenticate with the same GitHub credentials.

To wire everything up inside the container:

1. Authenticate the GitHub CLI: gh auth login (or set GH_TOKEN / GITHUB_TOKEN).

2. Launch the Copilot CLI: copilot. If you are not already authenticated, run the /login slash command, or export a token before launching:

   export GH_TOKEN="$(gh auth token)"
   copilot

3. Confirm the GitHub MCP server is available from within copilot with the /mcp slash command, then ask Copilot to interact with your repositories, issues, and pull requests.
