Module 6: MCP Integration

What is MCP?

  • Model Context Protocol — a standard for connecting AI to external tools
  • Think of it as "USB ports for AI" — plug in any compatible tool
  • The GitHub MCP server is built-in (search repos, issues, PRs, actions)

Key commands

Command What it does
/mcp List connected MCP servers
/mcp add <name> <command> Add a new MCP server

Popular MCP servers

  • @modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres — Query PostgreSQL databases
  • @modelcontextprotocol/server-sqlite — Query SQLite databases
  • @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem — Access local files with permissions
  • @modelcontextprotocol/server-memory — Persistent knowledge graph
  • @modelcontextprotocol/server-puppeteer — Browser automation

Configuration

Level File
User ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json
Project .github/mcp-config.json

Config file format

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@modelcontextprotocol/server-postgres", "{{env.DATABASE_URL}}"],
      "env": { "NODE_ENV": "development" }
    }
  }
}

Security best practices

  • Never put credentials directly in config files
  • Use environment variable references: {{env.SECRET}}
  • Review MCP server source before using
  • Only connect servers you actually need
