QuestionQ79

VerifiedSecure, optimize, and deploy database solutions

You are developing an Azure SQL solution by using Microsoft Visual Studio 2026. The solution uses a GitHub repository.

You plan to use GitHub Copilot Chat to access the GitHub repository tools by connecting to the GitHub MCP Server.

You need to configure Visual Studio to support the planned configuration. The solution must use OAuth to access the MCP server.

What should you create?

Explanation

Visual Studio supports a solution-level .mcp.json file for MCP server configuration. The documented GitHub MCP server entry uses the URL https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/; Visual Studio authenticates remote MCP servers through an OAuth provider, so a repository-scoped personal access token is not required in the configuration file.
