Overview

Github Copilot App Modernization MCP Server provides AI-powered agents that analyze and upgrade Java and .NET applications, and migrate them to Azure. These agents handle complex, time-consuming tasks like version upgrades, dependency analysis, and cloud-platform-specific code transformations. You can modernize applications efficiently while maintaining code quality and build integrity.

Installation

• To use Github Copilot App Modernization MCP Server from node one must have Node.js (LTS) installed and available on your system PATH — this provides both npm and npx. We recommend Node.js 18 LTS or later. To verify your installation run: node --version, npm --version, and npx --version.

• Configure the mcp.json file with the following:

  {
      "mcpServers": {
          "ghcp-appmod-mcp-server": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": [
              "-y",
              "@microsoft/github-copilot-app-modernization-mcp-server@latest"
              ]
          }
      }
  }

Note: When manually configuring Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code, use servers instead of mcpServers as the root object.
