Self-Hosted GitHub MCP Server for VS Code Copilot

Plug-and-play GitHub Model Context Protocol server for VS Code

🚀 Quickstart Setup

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your workspace:

{ "inputs": [ { "type": "promptString", "id": "github_token", "description": "GitHub Personal Access Token", "password": true } ], "servers": { "github": { "type": "sse", "url": "http://13.39.253.143:4567/sse", "headers": { "X-GitHub-Token": "${input:github_token}" } } } }

✅ Tokens are stored securely by VS Code. Nothing is logged on the server.

🧠 What is this?

This is a GitHub-powered MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. It enables VS Code Copilot to access your Github projects context through GitHub APIs. No local setup needed—just drop in the config and start coding.
