MCP GitHub HTTP Installer

This skill installs the GitHub HTTP MCP server into the current project (uses Copilot API).

Installation Procedure

When the user asks to install GitHub HTTP MCP:

  1. Check for existing .mcp.json in the project root
  2. Merge configuration - Add this server to mcpServers:
{
  "github-http": {
    "type": "http",
    "url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/",
    "headers": {
      "Authorization": "Bearer ${GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN2}"
    }
  }
}
  1. If .mcp.json doesn't exist, create it with the full structure:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github-http": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN2}"
      }
    }
  }
}
