## MCP Server

To make it easy to add these customizations to your editor, we have created a [MCP Server](https://developer.microsoft.com/blog/announcing-awesome-copilot-mcp-server) that provides a prompt for searching and installing prompts, instructions, agents, and skills directly from this repository. You'll need to have Docker installed and running to run the server.

The README currently states that users "need" to authenticate to the container registry. Pulling from GHCR is often possible anonymously for public images, so this may be misleading/overly strict. Consider rewording to a conditional troubleshooting note (e.g., "If you see an access denied when pulling from ghcr.io, run docker login ghcr.io") and optionally link to GitHub’s GHCR authentication docs / note that a PAT may be required depending on org settings.

You'll need to have Docker installed and running to use the server. If you see an `access denied` error when pulling from `ghcr.io`, run `docker login ghcr.io` and authenticate with a GitHub personal access token if required by your organization settings (see the [GitHub Container registry authentication docs](https://docs.github.com/packages/working-with-a-github-packages-registry/working-with-the-container-registry#authenticating-to-the-container-registry)).
