listing.about

Connects to the Awesome Copilot repository (github/awesome-copilot) and retrieves GitHub Copilot customization files so an assistant can find and use them. It is one of the .NET sample servers in Microsoft's mcp-dotnet-samples repository.

It runs locally over stdio from a Docker image (ghcr.io/microsoft/mcp-dotnet-samples/awesome-copilot). No API key or environment variables are documented. Docker must be installed, and the MCP client starts the container.

Claude Code

Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

claude mcp add --transport stdio awesome-copilot -- docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/microsoft/mcp-dotnet-samples/awesome-copilot:1.0.2026093001

Start Claude Code and type /mcp. awesome-copilot should show as connected.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project.

Claude Desktop

Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config. It opens claude_desktop_config.json. Add:

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "awesome-copilot": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/microsoft/mcp-dotnet-samples/awesome-copilot:1.0.2026093001"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.

Needs Docker on your computer. The file lives in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS and %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows.

Cursor

Add to Cursor a11y.new_tab

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "awesome-copilot": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/microsoft/mcp-dotnet-samples/awesome-copilot:1.0.2026093001"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Needs Docker on your computer.

VS Code

Install in VS Code a11y.new_tab

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"awesome-copilot","type":"stdio","command":"docker","args":["run","-i","--rm","ghcr.io/microsoft/mcp-dotnet-samples/awesome-copilot:1.0.2026093001"]}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "awesome-copilot": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/microsoft/mcp-dotnet-samples/awesome-copilot:1.0.2026093001"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Needs Docker on your computer.

Devin Desktop

Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):

mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "awesome-copilot": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/microsoft/mcp-dotnet-samples/awesome-copilot:1.0.2026093001"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf.

Codex

codex mcp add awesome-copilot -- docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/microsoft/mcp-dotnet-samples/awesome-copilot:1.0.2026093001

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml

[mcp_servers.awesome-copilot]
command = "docker"
args = ["run", "-i", "--rm", "ghcr.io/microsoft/mcp-dotnet-samples/awesome-copilot:1.0.2026093001"]

Needs Docker on your computer.

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add awesome-copilot docker -- run -i --rm ghcr.io/microsoft/mcp-dotnet-samples/awesome-copilot:1.0.2026093001

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients that start local servers accept this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "awesome-copilot": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/microsoft/mcp-dotnet-samples/awesome-copilot:1.0.2026093001"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings, with the same command, args and env fields.

listing.faq

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/awesome-copilot into my MCP client?

No. Awesome Copilot runs on your own computer, started by your client, so it has no web address to connect to. The quick link is the page to share; the install command is docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/microsoft/mcp-dotnet-samples/awesome-copilot:1.0.2026093001.

Does Awesome Copilot need an API key?

No. It doesn't declare any keys or environment variables. It runs with your user account's permissions, so check what its tools can reach.

Is Awesome Copilot a remote or a local server?

Local. Your client starts it as a process on your computer with docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/microsoft/mcp-dotnet-samples/awesome-copilot:1.0.2026093001, which needs Docker.

What can Awesome Copilot do?

You can retrieve Copilot customization files from the Awesome Copilot repository, bring shared Copilot customizations into your assistant's context and run locally as a Docker container over stdio.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that starts local servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. claude.ai and ChatGPT only connect to remote servers.

Who wrote this page?
