mcp-configure
Configure an MCP server for GitHub Copilot with your Dataverse environment
by githubFree
Description
mcp-configure is an agent skill from the github/awesome-copilot collection that configures the Dataverse MCP server for GitHub Copilot, using the environment URL of an organization. Each organization is registered with a unique server name built from its identifier. Before writing any configuration, the skill asks whether the server should be set up globally, so it is available in every project, or only for the current project. A global setup writes to a configuration file in the user's home directory under .copilot, and a project setup writes to a .mcp/copilot folder in the working directory. The skill then records that path and uses it in its later steps, which take the organization's environment URL and write the server entry. It is useful for developers and administrators who want Copilot to reach their Dataverse data through the Model Context Protocol. The configuration gives an AI assistant access to business data, so the user should choose project-only scope unless a global setup is needed, and the environment URL should be the correct one for the organization. The skill's security scan reported a failure at the time of this review, so the skill's contents should be read before it is installed. The skill is installed with the skills CLI from the github/awesome-copilot repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 7.0K installs, with Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket passing and Snyk reporting a failure at the time of the scan.…

mcp-configure FAQ
What does it configure?
The Dataverse MCP server for GitHub Copilot, using your organization's environment URL.
Global or project-only?
The skill asks first. Global writes to ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json, and project-only writes to .mcp/copilot/mcp.json.
Why does scope matter?
The configuration gives an assistant access to business data, so project-only scope is the narrower choice.
How do I install it?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot --skill mcp-configure.
What security audits does it have?
skills.sh lists three audits: Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass, Socket Pass and Snyk Fail. A Warn or Fail is worth reading before you install.
