copilot-spaces
Project-specific context for conversations through curated documentation, code, and team instructions.
- List and load Copilot Spaces using MCP read-only tools; create, update, and delete spaces via GitHub REST API with
gh api - Spaces contain attached repositories, files, documentation, and custom instructions that ground Copilot responses in actual project knowledge
- Use spaces to answer architecture and standards questions, generate code following team conventions, or execute multi-step workflows defined in space instructions
- Follow referenced resources (issues, boards, repos) using other MCP tools to gather complete context before responding
- Space names are case-sensitive; write operations require
userPAT scope
