GitHub Copilot CLI

Add the Alviss AI MCP server to GitHub Copilot CLI with /mcp add, copilot mcp add or mcp-config.json, and sign in with your Alviss AI account through /mcp auth.

MCP only works for teams that the Alviss AI staff has enabled it for. See Availability.

You need GitHub Copilot CLI version 1.0.83 or later. Check your version with copilot --version.

If your GitHub organization limits which MCP servers can be used, ask an organization admin to allow https://api.alviss.io/v1/mcp.

Add the Server

Choose one of these options. Each one adds the server to your user configuration, ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json.

Option 1: Interactive Form

Start Copilot CLI with copilot.
Run /mcp add. Use Tab to move between fields.
Fill in the form:
- Server Name: alviss
- Server Type: HTTP
- URL: https://api.alviss.io/v1/mcp
- HTTP Headers: leave empty.
- Tools: *

Press Ctrl+S to save.

Option 2: Command Line

copilot mcp add --transport http alviss https://api.alviss.io/v1/mcp

Option 3: Configuration File

Add the server to ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alviss": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.alviss.io/v1/mcp",
      "tools": ["*"]
    }
  }
}

In a Copilot CLI session, run:
```
/mcp auth alviss
```
Your browser opens. Sign in with your Alviss AI account and accept the requested access. See Authentication.

Return to Copilot CLI. To confirm that the server is connected and see its tools, run:
```
/mcp show alviss
```

To sign in with a different Alviss AI account, run /mcp auth alviss again.

Remove the Server

Run /mcp delete alviss. This also removes the stored sign-in.
