FAQPage Schema
How do I configure MCP servers for VS Code and IntelliJ IDEA?▼

You configure MCP servers by creating repository-based or user-based configuration files such as `.vscode/mcp.json` for VS Code and `~/.config/github-copilot/intellij/mcp.json` for IntelliJ IDEA.

Do I need Docker and GitHub PAT to set up the GitHub MCP server?▼

Yes, setting up the GitHub MCP server integration requires Docker for containerization, a GitHub PAT for authentication, and Cloudflare CA certificates to handle secure connections and avoid certificate errors.

Can I use MCP configuration with GitHub Copilot CLI and Cursor?▼

Yes, MCP configuration supports various IDEs and command-line tools including GitHub Copilot CLI and Cursor, providing specific paths and methods to ensure seamless integration with AI coding assistants.

Why does my MCP server configuration fail with certificate errors in Docker?▼

MCP server configuration fails with certificate errors in Docker due to missing Cloudflare CA certificates. The Skill offers troubleshooting solutions for these certificate issues, Docker problems, and environment variable misconfigurations.

What is the difference between repository-based and user-based MCP configurations?▼

Repository-based MCP configurations are stored within the project directory like `.vscode/mcp.json`, while user-based configurations are stored globally for tools like IntelliJ IDEA to provide broader access across projects.
