Real world MCPs in GitHub Copilot Agent Mode
summary
Agent mode builds a working app in about eight minutes by reading a detailed README, running commands in VS Code, and asking permission before touching terminals or services. It installs and starts local MCP servers via a one‑click VS Code config, uses a Postgres MCP in read‑only mode to pull live rows and emit a mock.json from real data, then uses a GitHub MCP with a personal access token to commit changes, create a branch, and open a PR.
