I primarily use Claude Code, but I’ve been considering the possibility of integrating it with an MCP server alongside GitHub Copilot’s Agent Mode. Here’s the idea:
When you create an issue in your GitHub repository and assign GitHub Copilot, it can:
- Spin up a new branch
- Implement the proposed changes
- Open a pull request (PR)
This flow is very intuitive and well-integrated into VSCode, especially with the GitHub Copilot extension and GitHub PR extension.
Would it be possible to plug Claude Code’s MCP into this flow?
- Copilot would act as the orchestrator, managing issues, branches, and PRs
- Claude Code would handle the actual code generation and implementation
This setup could allow for fully remote, issue-driven development, from ideation to merge, entirely from your phone.
Has anyone already managed to:
- Connect Claude Code’s MCP to GitHub Copilot Agent Mode?
- Orchestrate development through this hybrid setup?
To be clear, I am not talking about using it in chat directly, that works fine, i'm really talking about the spawned agent when assigning a issue.
I’d really appreciate any insights, and if anyone’s interested, let’s explore this together.
