GitHub Copilot CLI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+
GitHub Copilot CLI installed
GitHub Copilot subscription

Step 1: Install TaskFlow MCP Server

Code

bash

1npm install -g @dalmasonto/taskflow-mcp

Step 2: Configure MCP Server

Edit ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json:

Code

json

1{
2  "mcpServers": {
3    "taskflow": {
4      "type": "local",
5      "command": "taskflow-mcp",
6      "args": [],
7      "tools": ["*"]
8    }
9  }
10}

Setting "tools": ["*"] exposes all TaskFlow tools. You can also list specific tool names to limit access.

Step 3: Verify

Run Copilot CLI and ask:

"What TaskFlow MCP tools do you have available?"

The agent should list all available tools.

Tips

Copilot CLI requires the "type": "local" field (unlike other agents)
Use "tools": ["*"] to expose all tools, or list specific names for fine-grained control
You can also add MCP servers via copilot mcp add CLI command
