## Overview of Model Context Protocol (MCP)

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that defines how applications share context with large language models (LLMs). MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools, enabling them to work together more effectively.

You can use MCP to extend the capabilities of {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} by integrating it with a wide range of existing tools and services. MCP works across all major {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} surfaces—whether you're working in an IDE, using {% data variables.copilot.copilot_cli %}, working in the {% data variables.copilot.github_copilot_app %}, or delegating tasks to an agent on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}. You can also use MCP to create new tools and services that work with {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}, allowing you to customize and enhance your experience.

Agent finder is a discovery service that helps {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} find the right capabilities—such as MCP servers, tools, agents, and skills—for a task at runtime, instead of requiring every capability to be configured in advance. Like an MCP registry, it searches a catalog of capabilities and returns ranked matches that {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} can use on demand. Agent finder implements the open Agentic Resource Discovery (ARD) specification.

To use agent finder, download the [agent finder skill](https://github.com/ards-project/connectors/blob/main/skills/github-copilot/SKILL.md) and add it to your `~/.copilot/skills` directory.

You can manage Model Context Protocol (MCP) server usage in your organization or enterprise by configuring a series of MCP policies on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}. Through these policies, you can allow or block MCP server usage entirely, or restrict access to a list of servers that you define in an MCP registry.
