See [More examples for advanced setup](./clients/README.md) for more details on how to set up the MCP server.

### Usage with GitHub Copilot CLI

Use the Copilot CLI to interactively add the MCP server:

```bash
/mcp add
```

Alternatively, create or edit the configuration file `~/.copilot/mcp-config.json` and add:

```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp_foundry_server": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"--prerelease=allow",
"--from",
"git+https://github.com/azure-ai-foundry/mcp-foundry.git",
"run-azure-ai-foundry-mcp"
]
}
}
}
```

For more information, see the [Copilot CLI documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/concepts/agents/about-copilot-cli).

## Setting the Environment Variables

To securely pass information to the MCP server, such as API keys, endpoints, and other sensitive data, you can use environment variables. This is especially important for tools that require authentication or access to external services.
