Overview

What is GlubGlub?

GlubGlub is a demonstration repository that shows how to configure and use the GitHub MCP (Model Context Protocol) server in Visual Studio Code. It is intended for developers who want to learn how to create and manage GitHub repositories using natural language commands through GitHub Copilot or other AI tools.

How to use GlubGlub?

Clone the repository and follow the provided setup instructions. There are two approaches: a Docker-based MCP integration (requires Docker and a GitHub Personal Access Token) or using Copilot Advanced Settings (requires GitHub Copilot). After configuration, open the Copilot chat panel in VS Code and type natural language commands such as “Create a new GitHub repository named MyProject” to perform GitHub operations.

FAQ from GlubGlub

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized communication protocol that allows large language models (LLMs) to interact with external services and tools. In VS Code, it enables GitHub Copilot and other AI tools to perform actions on your behalf, such as creating repositories.

What are the prerequisites for using the GitHub MCP server in VS Code?

You need VS Code with the GitHub extension installed and signed in. For the Docker approach, Docker must be installed and you must generate a GitHub Personal Access Token with necessary permissions. For the Copilot approach, you need GitHub Copilot installed and configured.

What GitHub operations can you perform with MCP?

You can create repositories with details like description, visibility, and initialization files (e.g., README, .gitignore, license). The README also mentions forking repositories and suggests that MCP can be extended to create issues and pull requests.

How was this GlubGlub repository created?

This repository was created using GitHub Copilot with MCP configured in VS Code on April 28, 2025.
