Correct answer: Use the built-in GitHub MCP server.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer is "Use the built-in GitHub MCP server." GitHub Copilot CLI automatically includes the GitHub MCP server configuration by default. There's no need for manual setup. Attempting to add it manually, especially with an incorrect URL or type, will fail or cause conflicts. "Add the server with PAT headers" is incorrect because MCP servers don't typically use PAT headers for authentication in this context; Copilot CLI handles authentication automatically. "Register it through repository settings" is incorrect as MCP server configuration is not managed at the repository level. "Start the local Docker MCP server" is incorrect because a local Docker MCP server is for specific advanced use cases and not required for connecting to GitHub's official services.
