 # Install GitHub MCP Server in Copilot CLI
 
-## Prerequisites
+The GitHub MCP server comes pre-installed in Copilot CLI, with read-only tools enabled by default.
 
-1. Copilot CLI installed (see [official Copilot CLI documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/concepts/agents/about-copilot-cli))
-2. [GitHub Personal Access Token](https://github.com/settings/personal-access-tokens/new) with appropriate scopes
-3. For local installation: [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) installed and running
+## Built-in Server
+
+To verify the server is available, from an active Copilot CLI session:
+
+```bash
+/mcp show github-mcp-server
+```
+
+### Per-Session Customization
+
+Use CLI flags to customize the server for a session:
+
+```bash
+# Enable an additional toolset
+copilot --add-github-mcp-toolset discussions
+
+# Enable multiple additional toolsets
+copilot --add-github-mcp-toolset discussions --add-github-mcp-toolset stargazers
+
+# Enable all toolsets
+copilot --enable-all-github-mcp-tools
+
+# Enable a specific tool
+copilot --add-github-mcp-tool list_discussions
+
+# Disable the built-in server entirely
+copilot --disable-builtin-mcps
+```
+
+Run `copilot --help` for all available flags. For the list of toolsets, see [Available toolsets](../../README.md#available-toolsets); for the list of tools, see [Tools](../../README.md#tools).
+
+## Custom Configuration
+
+You can configure the GitHub MCP server in Copilot CLI using either the interactive command or by manually editing the configuration file.
+
+> **Server naming:** Name your server `github-mcp-server` to replace the built-in server, or use a different name (e.g., `github`) to run alongside it.
+
+### Prerequisites

 ## Troubleshooting
 
 ### Local Server Issues
 
 - **Docker errors**: Ensure Docker Desktop is running
-    ```bash
-    docker --version
-    ```
 - **Image pull failures**: Try `docker logout ghcr.io` then retry
-- **Docker not found**: Install Docker Desktop and ensure it's running
 
 ### Authentication Issues
 
 - **Invalid PAT**: Verify your GitHub PAT has correct scopes:
-    - `repo` - Repository operations
-    - `read:packages` - Docker image access (if using Docker)
