Copilot Coding Agent supports MCP integration through repository-level configuration, allowing it to access external tools and services. Unlike IDE-based MCP setups, the Coding Agent uses a JSON configuration stored in your repository settings on GitHub.com.
22
+
23
+
Key differences for MCP with Coding Agent:
24
+
- Configuration is managed at the repository level, not per-IDE
25
+
- Supports local and remote MCP servers (with PAT authentication)
26
+
- Includes built-in GitHub and Playwright MCP servers by default
27
+
- Requires repository administrator access to configure
28
+

For detailed setup instructions and examples, see [Extending Copilot coding agent with MCP](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/agents/copilot-coding-agent/extending-copilot-coding-agent-with-mcp).
