How to extend Copilot code review with MCP and custom skills | demo

GitHub demonstrates how to extend GitHub Copilot code review using Model Context Protocol (MCP) and custom skills, so reviews can incorporate internal documentation and repository-defined checklists to produce findings aligned with a team’s engineering standards.

Overview

The video shows how GitHub Copilot code review can be extended beyond analyzing only a pull request diff by:

• Connecting additional context sources (for example, external/internal documentation)
• Defining team-specific review guidance (for example, review checklists) in the repository
• Producing more tailored, actionable review findings that reflect a team’s engineering standards
