Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that indexes the github/awesome-copilot repository so an assistant can browse and search its agents, prompts, instructions, skills…

What you can do
  • Search and browse the bundled index of awesome-copilot resources
  • Retrieve agents, prompts, instructions, skills, collections, plugins, hooks and agentic workflows on demand
  • Refresh the metadata index from GitHub during a session
  • Optionally expose the same index over local HTTP endpoints for health, metadata, search and OpenAPI
When to use it
Useful when you work with GitHub Copilot and want an assistant to find and pull ready-made agents, prompts, instructions or collections from the awesome-copilot repository without leaving the chat.
Requirements
Runs locally over stdio, typically via npx with the awesome-copilot-mcp package, so Node.js is needed. No authentication is declared. Optional environment variables ACP_METADATA_URL and ACP_REPOS_JSON can point to a hosted metadata file or custom repository configuration. The VS Code one-click install requires the GitHub Copilot extension.
Before you install
The refresh tool fetches data from GitHub, and ACP_METADATA_URL or ACP_REPOS_JSON can redirect it to a third-party URL or repository, so only point these at sources you trust. The optional HTTP mode can bind to all interfaces, which exposes the index beyond the local machine. No credentials are requested.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Awesome Copilot MCP Server in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

Awesome Copilot MCP Server

[npm version] [License: MIT] [Build Status]

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to awesome-copilot agents and collection resources.

Quick Start

One-Click Installation for VS Code

Click the badge to install directly in VS Code (will prompt to open VS Code):

[Install in VS Code] [Install in VS Code Insiders]

Note: Requires GitHub Copilot extension in VS Code. Click the badge on GitHub to trigger the installation prompt.

Manual Configuration

Add to your MCP Client configuration (e.g., Claude Desktop or VS Code):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "awesome-copilot": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "awesome-copilot-mcp", "start"]    }  }}

This ensures you always run the latest version.

Usage

As MCP Server

Standard stdio usage (default). See configuration above.

As HTTP / OpenAPI Server

Run locally for remote access or OpenAPI testing:

bash
npx -y awesome-copilot-mcp start-http --port 8080 --host 0.0.0.0

Available endpoints:

  • GET /health Health check
  • GET /metadata Return metadata index
  • GET /metadata/stream SSE streaming output of metadata
  • GET /search?q=kw Search
  • GET /openapi.json API Documentation

Supported Content Types

This server now indexes all resources published in the official github/awesome-copilot repository:

  • 🤖 Agents
  • 💬 Prompts
  • 📋 Instructions
  • 🛠️ Skills (folder-aware)
  • 📦 Collections
  • 🎁 Plugins (from plugins/external.json)
  • 🪝 Hooks
  • ⚡ Agentic Workflows

Debugging

MCP Inspector is the recommended way to test and debug:

bash
# Debug via Stdio (Recommended)npx -y awesome-copilot-mcp debug --no-build
# Debug via HTTPnpm run inspect:http

Architecture

This server uses a Bundled + In-Memory architecture for maximum reliability:

  1. Startup: Loads metadata.json bundled directly within the npm package. Zero external dependencies.
  2. Hot Updates: refresh_metadata fetches the latest data from GitHub and stores it in memory for the current session.
  3. Sandbox Friendly: No local disk cache (~/.cache) is used, preventing permission issues in restricted environments (e.g., macOS App Sandbox).

Environment Variables

VariableDescription
ACP_METADATA_URLOptional. URL to a hosted metadata.json (e.g. https://yourname.github.io/repo/metadata.json). Overrides GitHub raw fetch.
ACP_REPOS_JSONCustom repository configuration JSON.

Metadata Generation

Automated: GitHub Actions runs daily to fetch the latest metadata from github/awesome-copilot and publishes a new npm version if changes are detected.

Internal: The metadata file is lightweight (~170 KB) containing only index info. Actual content and download targets for agents, prompts, instructions, skills, collections, plugins, hooks, and workflows are resolved on-demand via the exposed tools and resources.

Development

bash
# Install dependenciesnpm install
# Buildnpm run build
# Run testsnpm test

50% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
