# Integration Guide: MCP with GitHub Copilot

## Prerequisites
- GitHub Copilot installed and configured
- MCP SDK installed
- Node.js (v14 or later)

## Step-by-Step Integration
1. **Install MCP Adapter**:
   ```bash
   npm install @mcp/adapter-copilot
   ```
2. **Configure Copilot**:
   - Open your Copilot settings
   - Add the following to your `settings.json`:
     ```json
     {
       "mcp": {
         "enabled": true,
         "apiKey": "your_mcp_api_key"
       }
     }
     ```
3. **Initialize MCP Context**:
   - Create a new file `mcp-context.js`:
     ```javascript
     const { MCPContext } = require('@mcp/adapter-copilot');
     const context = new MCPContext({
       project: "[PROJECT_NAME]",
       industry: "[INDUSTRY]"
     });
     ```
4. **Test Integration**:
   - Open a new coding session in VS Code
   - Verify Copilot suggestions are context-aware

## Troubleshooting
- Ensure API keys are correctly configured
- Check network connectivity to MCP servers
