This is an educational tutorial and exercise repository designed to teach developers how to integrate Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with GitHub Copilot. It provides a hands-on learning environment to expand AI-assisted development workflows using a high school activities website as a demo project.
Security Assessment
Overall Risk: Low. The tool does not request any dangerous permissions or execute unexpected shell commands. There are no hardcoded secrets present in the codebase. Outbound network requests were detected in a frontend application file (`src/static/app.js`), which is standard behavior for a web application and poses minimal risk. File system access is limited to an automated GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/1-step.yml`), which is a normal and expected operation for setting up the tutorial environment.
Quality Assessment
The project is in excellent health and actively maintained, with its most recent updates pushed today. It is backed by a strong community trust indicator, boasting 195 GitHub stars. Furthermore, the project is transparent and legally safe to use, distributed under the highly permissive and standard MIT License. It is officially authored by GitHub, ensuring reliable documentation and standards.
Verdict
Safe to use.

How to start this exercise
[!IMPORTANT]
This exercise assumes basic knowledge of GitHub Copilot. If you are unfamiliar, we recommend the Getting Started with Copilot exercise.
Simply copy the exercise to your account, then give your favorite Octocat (Mona) about 20 seconds to prepare the first lesson, then refresh the page.
When copying the exercise, we recommend the following settings:
For owner, choose your personal account or an organization to host the repository.
We recommend creating a public repository, since private repositories will use Actions minutes.
If the exercise isn't ready in 20 seconds, please check the Actions tab.
Check to see if a job is running. Sometimes it simply takes a bit longer.
If the page shows a failed job, please submit an issue. Nice, you found a bug! 🐛
