Connect GitHub
Add GitHub’s remote endpoint
Use a client with remote MCP support and add https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/.
Publisher instructions ↗Choose OAuth or a personal access token
Use OAuth if your host supports GitHub’s authorization flow. Otherwise, configure Authorization with Bearer followed by a GitHub personal access token.
Publisher instructions ↗Limit access and connect
Grant only the permissions needed for your chosen tools, confirm any organization policies, and initialize the connection in your client.

Connection address
https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/Use this address when adding the remote connection to your MCP client.
Credentials and access
OAuth in supported hosts, or a GitHub personal access token in the Authorization header.
Setup notes from publisher documentation
- GitHub documents the remote endpoint https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/.
- Supported hosts can use OAuth; personal access tokens are an alternative through Authorization: Bearer. OAuth support depends on the host's GitHub app configuration.
- Use the publisher's client-specific setup instructions and grant only permissions needed by your chosen tools. A matching endpoint does not prove your account can access every tool.

No required inputs are declared in this connection’s metadata. Other setup requirements may still apply.

Registry definition:/remotes/0/headers/0Sources & review
Documentation checked 2026-10-23. Remote endpoint and documented authentication alternatives checked. No token, OAuth session or repository action was tested.
Registry inputs are a dated snapshot. Publisher checks are separate, scoped observations. The downloadable bundle preserves the original draft plus the documentation review; it is not a ready-to-run client configuration.
