The {% data variables.product.github %} MCP server can be configured to work with {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} and {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency %}. The configuration steps differ depending on whether you are using the remote or local MCP server.
|
|
|
|
## About enterprise MCP server configuration
|
|
|
|
The {% data variables.product.github %} MCP server supports two enterprise deployment types:
|
|
|
|
* **[{% data variables.enterprise.data_residency %}](#configuring-the-remote-mcp-server-for-github-enterprise-cloud-with-data-residency)**: Supports both remote and local MCP server configurations
|
|
* **[{% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}](#configuring-the-local-mcp-server-for-enterprise)**: Supports **only local MCP server configuration**
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} does **not** support remote MCP server hosting. If you are using {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}, you **must** use the local MCP server configuration described in [Configuring the local MCP server for enterprise](#configuring-the-local-mcp-server-for-enterprise). Skip the remote MCP server configuration section below.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* A {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instance or {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} account with {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency_short %}
|
|
* The {% data variables.product.github %} MCP server configured in your editor. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/how-tos/provide-context/use-mcp/set-up-the-github-mcp-server).
|
|
|
|
## Configuring the remote MCP server for {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency %}
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> This section applies **only** to {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency %}. If you are using {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}, skip to [Configuring the local MCP server for enterprise](#configuring-the-local-mcp-server-for-enterprise).
|
|
|
|
{% vscode %}
|
|
|
|
{% data variables.enterprise.data_residency %} can use the remote MCP server. To configure it, you need to update the MCP server URL to point to your {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} instance.
|
|
|
|
For example, if your {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} instance is `https://octocorp.ghe.com`, the MCP server URL would be `https://copilot-api.octocorp.ghe.com/mcp`.
|
|
|
|
1. In {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}, open the command palette by pressing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>P</kbd> (Windows/Linux) / <kbd>Command</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>P</kbd> (Mac).
|
|
1. Type and select **MCP: Open User Configuration**.
|
|
1. In the settings file, locate the `servers` section. If you have already configured the {% data variables.product.github %} MCP server, you will see a `github` entry.
|
|
1. Update the `url` field to point to your {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} instance.
|
|
|
|
**Option A: With PAT authentication**
|
|
|
|
```json copy
|
|
{
|
|
"servers": {
|
|
"github": {
|
|
"type": "http",
|
|
"url": "https://copilot-api.{% data variables.enterprise.data_residency_domain %}/mcp",
|
|
"headers": {
|
|
"Authorization": "Bearer ${input:github_mcp_pat}"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
"inputs": [
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "promptString",
|
|
"id": "github_mcp_pat",
|
|
"description": "GitHub PAT",
|
|
"password": true
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Option B: With OAuth authentication**
|
|
|
|
```json copy
|
|
{
|
|
"servers": {
|
|
"github": {
|
|
"type": "http",
|
|
"url": "https://copilot-api.{% data variables.enterprise.data_residency_domain %}/mcp"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace `{% data variables.enterprise.data_residency_domain %}` with your {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency_site %} subdomain.
|
|
|
|
1. Save the file.
|
|
1. When using OAuth with {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency %}, configure your {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode_shortname %} settings to point to your {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} instance. Add the following to your [{% data variables.product.prodname_vscode_shortname %} user settings](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/configure/settings#_user-settings):
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"github-enterprise.uri": "https://copilot-api.{% data variables.enterprise.data_residency_domain %}/mcp"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Restart {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %} or reload the window for the changes to take effect.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
1. In the {% data variables.product.prodname_vs %} menu bar, click **View**, then click **{% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat %}**.
|
|
1. At the bottom of the chat panel, select **Agent** from the mode dropdown.
|
|
1. In the {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat_short %} window, click the tools icon, then click the plus icon in the tool picker window.
|
|
1. In the "Configure MCP server" pop-up window, fill out the fields.
|
|
1. For "Server ID", type `github`.
|
|
1. For "Type", select "HTTP/SSE" from the dropdown.
|
|
1. For "URL", type `https://copilot-api.YOURSUBDOMAIN.ghe.com/mcp`, replacing `YOURSUBDOMAIN` with your {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} subdomain.
|
|
1. Add a new header under "Headers", called "Authorization" and set to the value `Bearer YOUR_GITHUB_PAT`, replacing "YOUR_GITHUB_PAT" with your {% data variables.product.pat_generic %}.
|
|
1. Click **Save**.

## Configuring the local MCP server for enterprise
|
|
|
|
Both {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} with data residency support the local MCP server. You can configure the local server using either the `GITHUB_HOST` environment variable or the `--gh-host` command-line flag.
|
|
|
|
### Important considerations
|
|
|
|
* **For {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}**: Prefix the hostname with the `https://` URI scheme, as it otherwise defaults to `http://`, which {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} does not support.
|
|
* **For {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} with data residency**: Use `https://YOURSUBDOMAIN.ghe.com` as the hostname.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration with Docker
|
|
|
|
{% vscode %}
|
|
|
|
To configure the local MCP server with Docker in {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}:
|
|
|
|
1. In {% data variables.product.prodname_vscode %}, open the command palette by pressing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>P</kbd> (Windows/Linux) / <kbd>Command</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>P</kbd> (Mac).
|
|
1. Type and select **MCP: Open User Configuration**.
|
|
1. In the settings file, locate the `servers` section or create it if it doesn't exist.
|

To configure the local MCP server with Docker in {% data variables.product.prodname_vs %}, you need to manually edit the `mcp.json` file.
|
|
|
|
1. Open the `mcp.json` file in {% data variables.product.prodname_vs %}. The file is typically located in your user profile directory.
|

To configure the local MCP server with Docker in Eclipse:

|
|
1. Add the following configuration under "Server Configurations":
|
|
|
|
**For {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}:**
|
|
|
|
```json copy
|
|

|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace `YOUR_GHES_HOSTNAME` with your {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} hostname (for example, `https://github.example.com`).
|
|
|
|
**For {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} with data residency:**

"GITHUB_HOST": "https://YOURSUBDOMAIN.ghe.com"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace `YOURSUBDOMAIN` with your {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} subdomain.
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Apply**.
|
|
|
|
{% endeclipse %}
|
|
|
|
### Configuration when building from source
|
|
|
|
If you are building the MCP server from source instead of using Docker, you can set the `GITHUB_HOST` environment variable or use the `--gh-host` command-line flag:
|
|
|
|
**Using environment variable:**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export GITHUB_HOST="https://YOUR_GHES_OR_GHEC_HOSTNAME"
|
|
./github-mcp-server stdio
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Using command-line flag:**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./github-mcp-server --gh-host \
|
|
"https://YOUR_GHES_OR_GHEC_HOSTNAME" stdio
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace `YOUR_GHES_OR_GHEC_HOSTNAME` with your {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} hostname (for example, `https://github.example.com`) or {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %} hostname (for example, `https://octocorp.ghe.com`).
