## Testing on VS Code Insiders
|
||||
|
||||
First of all, install `github-mcp-server` with:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
go install ./cmd/github-mcp-server
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure you:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Set your `GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN` environment variable and ensure VS Code has access to it.
|
||||
2. VS Code Insiders has access to the `github-mcp-server` binary
|
||||
|
||||
Go to settings, find the MCP related settings, and set them to:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"mcp": {
|
||||
"inputs": [],
|
||||
"servers": {
|
||||
"mcp-github-server": {
|
||||
"command": "path-to-your/github-mcp-server",
|
||||
"args": [
|
||||
"stdio"
|
||||
],
|
||||
"env": {}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In `Copilot Edits`, you should now see an option to reload the available `tools`.
|
||||
Reload, and you should be good to go.

Try something like the following prompt to verify that it works:
