Paste into claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"github-mcp-server": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-remote",
"https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/"
]
}
}
}Run in a terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http github-mcp-server https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/
Paste into .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):
{
"mcpServers": {
"github-mcp-server": {
"url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/"
}
}
}Transport: http - Hosted remote (streamable HTTP). Nothing runs on your machine - the config above connects your client straight to the vendor's endpoint (older clients bridge via npx mcp-remote).
Auth: the remote endpoint may prompt for OAuth or an API key on first connect - see the vendor's docs.
