Exploring MCP Servers with GitHub Copilot

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI agents like GitHub Copilot tap into external tools, services, and your own account data. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll connect GitHub Copilot to both public and authenticated MCP servers, explore the tools they expose, and put them to work—researching topics, troubleshooting issues, and making real contributions to a codebase. You’ll also discover how combining MCP servers with agent skills unlocks more powerful, personalized developer workflows.
