GitHub Copilot Setup

Configure Glider with GitHub Copilot Chat (VS Code).

GitHub Copilot

Prerequisite: .NET 10 SDK must be installed before running dotnet tool install --global glider.
dotnet tool install --global glider
VS Code launches stdio MCP servers via command. Make sure glider is available on PATH.
# bash/zsh
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.dotnet/tools"
which glider
Create .vscode/mcp.json in your repo. GitHub Copilot MCP docs: docs.github.com/.../extending-copilot-chat-with-mcp. For larger solutions, set args to ["--default-timeout", "30m"].
{
  "servers": {
    "glider": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "glider",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}
Reload the window to apply changes. If you prefer global setup, configure MCP servers in your VS Code user settings (see GitHub docs above).
