GitHub has launched a Remote MCP Server in public preview that allows AI tools like GitHub Copilot and Claude Desktop to access live GitHub data including issues, pull requests, and code files. The remote server offers one-click setup, OAuth 2.0 authentication with SAML enforcement, and automatic updates without requiring local installation. It supports both OAuth and Personal Access Tokens for authentication, though OAuth is recommended for better security and scoped access. Organizations need to enable the Editor Preview Policy for GitHub Copilot integration during the preview period.
