From the repo.

A hands-on workshop for GitHub Copilot Day on building MCP servers with Python and FastMCP, using GitHub Copilot as your coding agent.

Exercise	Description
Exercise 1	Set up your environment and connect GitHub Copilot to a public MCP server
Exercise 2	Use the GitHub MCP server to find issues, implement fixes, and open pull requests
Exercise 3	Build your own MCP server from scratch with FastMCP

Replace {MCP_ENDPOINT_URL} with this MCP’s endpoint URL (from its repo or docs above). No API key — you connect directly.

Tool

Config file: ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server": {
      "url": "{MCP_ENDPOINT_URL}"
    }
  }
}

Paste into mcpServers in the config file. Restart Cursor after saving.

If this MCP is also published on mcpchannel.ai, you can subscribe from Browse and use the gateway config there instead.
