Implementation Reference

  • src/index.ts:166-183 (registration)
    Registers the MCP tool 'copilot_buttons_from_github' with Zod input schema and a handler that delegates to the helper function.
    server.registerTool( "copilot_buttons_from_github", { title: "Copilot install buttons (GitHub)", description: "Generate VS Code install buttons for a GitHub file using owner/repo/path and optional branch.", inputSchema: { kind: z.enum(["chat-instructions", "chat-prompt", "chat-mode"]).describe("Install kind"), owner: z.string(), repo: z.string(), path: z.string().describe("Path within the repo"), branch: z.string().default("main"), } }, async ({ kind, owner, repo, path, branch }) => { const markdown = generateCopilotInstallButtonsFromGithub(kind, owner, repo, path, branch ?? 'main'); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: markdown }] }; } );
  • The core handler logic: constructs the raw GitHub URL for the file and generates the Copilot-style install buttons markdown.
    export function generateCopilotInstallButtonsFromGithub(kind: CopilotInstallKind, owner: string, repo: string, path: string, branch = 'main'): string { const raw = buildRawGithubUrl(owner, repo, branch, path); return generateCopilotInstallButtons(kind, raw); }
  • Zod input schema definition for the tool parameters.
    inputSchema: { kind: z.enum(["chat-instructions", "chat-prompt", "chat-mode"]).describe("Install kind"), owner: z.string(), repo: z.string(), path: z.string().describe("Path within the repo"), branch: z.string().default("main"), }
  • Helper function to build the raw GitHub file URL from repo details.
    export function buildRawGithubUrl(owner: string, repo: string, branch: string, path: string): string { return `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/${owner}/${repo}/${branch}/${path}`; }
