In this fourth and final session, you'll learn how to use Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to connect GitHub Copilot CLI to external systems so it can work with GitHub, local files, documentation, databases, APIs, and more from the terminal. You'll learn why MCP matters, how to add an MCP server, and how GitHub Copilot CLI uses that functionality. The session will then wrap up with a course review so you leave with a clear picture of how the pieces fit together and how to apply them in your own projects.
This is the final session in this 4-part series that walks you through the GitHub Copilot CLI for Beginners course.
