Add documentation for Model Context Protocol (MCP) setup and usage with GitHub Copilot in VSCode

[CarlosLopezElorduy]

Overview

Create a new documentation page explaining how to set up and use Model Context Protocols (MCP) with GitHub Copilot in VSCode. This will help BBGLab members enhance their coding experience by leveraging MCP capabilities.

Content to Include

1. Introduction to MCP

• What is Model Context Protocol
• Benefits of using MCP with GitHub Copilot
• Overview of available MCP servers and their capabilities

2. Installation and Setup

• Prerequisites (VSCode, GitHub Copilot extension)
• Installing MCP-compatible extensions
• Configuration steps for different MCP servers

3. Available MCP Servers

Document popular MCP servers relevant to our workflow:

• File system operations (reading, writing, searching files)
• Git integration (repository management, commit history)
• Database connections (PostgreSQL, SQLite, etc.)
• API integrations (REST APIs, web services)
• Development tools (linting, testing, documentation)

4. Usage Examples

• Practical examples of MCP in action
• Common workflows and use cases
• Best practices for BBGLab development

5. Troubleshooting

• Common issues and solutions
• Performance considerations
• Debugging MCP connections

Suggested Location

• File: docs/Tools/GitHub_Copilot_MCP.md or
• Add a new section to existing docs/Tools/GitHub_Copilot.md

Acceptance Criteria

• Clear explanation of MCP concepts
• Step-by-step setup instructions
• Practical examples relevant to BBGLab workflows
• Screenshots or diagrams where helpful
• Links to official documentation and resources
• Troubleshooting section

Additional Notes

This documentation should complement the existing GitHub Copilot documentation and provide BBGLab-specific guidance for leveraging MCP capabilities in our development environment.
