This would allow teams to:\n- Share project-specific MCP servers via version control\n- Automatically enable relevant MCP tools when working in specific directories\n- Keep global config clean by only loading servers when needed\n\nProposed Implementation:\n```\n// .github/mcp.json\n{\n    'servers': {\n        'ProjectSpecificServer': {\n            'type': 'stdio',\n            'command': 'dotnet',\n            'args': ['run', '--project', '../mcp-servers/project-mcp/project-mcp.csproj'],\n            'env': { 'CONNECTION_STRING': '...' }\n        }\n    }\n}\n```\n\nThis would work exactly like the .vscode folder where we can have custom MCP server for each project/folder\n\n### Example prompts or workflows\n\n_No response_\n\n### Additional context\n\n_No response_","author":{"url":"https://github.com/pmb5","@type":"Person","name":"pmb5"},"datePublished":"2026-02-04T17:16:40Z","url":"https://github.com/github/copilot-cli/issues/1291"}
