GitHub’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server lets you securely bring your organization’s internal knowledge and workflows into GitHub Copilot. In this beginner-friendly session, you’ll learn how MCP Server works, why it matters, and how to set it up step by step. We’ll cover core concepts, architecture, and a hands-on demo of creating your first endpoint — plus best practices for security, governance, and scaling.

Attendees will walk away with a clear roadmap for supercharging Copilot in their own projects using MCP Server.
