Description
Problem Statement
The repository already leverages several MCP servers (Terraform, Context7, Microsoft Docs, Azure DevOps, CRISP) for developer productivity, but lacks a GitHub MCP server. The HVE-Core extension (ise-hve-essentials.hve-core) is already installed in this devcontainer and ships AI artifacts that depend on a github MCP server being available:
github-issue-manageragent declares'github/*'in its tools list for conversational issue filing, navigation, and searchgithub-add-issueprompt provides guided issue creation via discovered templatespr-reviewagent supports PR review workflows
Without the GitHub MCP server registered in .vscode/mcp.json, these HVE-Core artifacts cannot access the github/* tools they require, leaving GitHub-native operations (issue triage, PR management, code search) inaccessible from the AI-assisted workflow.
Proposed Solution
Add the GitHub MCP Server as an HTTP-based MCP server entry in .vscode/mcp.json to unlock the existing HVE-Core AI artifacts.
Configuration addition to .vscode/mcp.json:
"github": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/"
}This single configuration change enables the full suite of HVE-Core GitHub tooling already bundled with the devcontainer — no new prompts, agents, or instructions need to be created or modified.
