+## Getting started in GitHub Coilot Agent
+
+You can also configure the MCP Server to work with GitHub Copilot as a Coding Agent in your repositories.
+Ensure that you configured your repository to use [GitHub Copilot Coding Agents](https://github.com/settings/copilot/coding_agent).
+
+Browse to your repository and click the Settings tab.
+Expand the Copilot section and click on Coding Agents.
+
+![GitHub Copilot coding agent settings](./media/github-copilot-agent-settings.png)
+
+Scroll down to the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** section and add the following JSON snippet to your `mcpServers` configuration:
+
+```json
+{ 
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "NuGet": {
+      "type": "local",
+      "command": "dnx",
+      "args": ["NuGet.Mcp.Server", "--yes"],
+      "tools": ["*"],
+      "env": {}
+    }
+  } 
+}
+```
+
+This will make all the MCP Server tools available, if you want specific tools you can list them in the `"tools"` parameter array. 
+
+Finally, click the **Save MCP configuration** button to save your changes.
+
+Now that the NuGet MCP is configured, you will also need to create a GitHub Actions workflow to install .NET 10 Preview 6 or higher so that the `dnx` command is available to run the MCP server.
+You can do this by creating the following workflow file in your repository at
+
+`.github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml`
+
+The contents of this workflow file should be as follows:
+
+```yml
+name: "Copilot Setup Steps"
+
+# Automatically run the setup steps when they are changed to allow for easy validation, and
+# allow manual testing through the repository's "Actions" tab
+on:
+  workflow_dispatch:
+  push:
+    paths:
+      - .github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml
+  pull_request:
+    paths:
+      - .github/workflows/copilot-setup-steps.yml
+
+jobs:
+  # The job MUST be called `copilot-setup-steps` or it will not be picked up by Copilot.
+  copilot-setup-steps:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+
+    # Set the permissions to the lowest permissions possible needed for your steps.
+    # Copilot will be given its own token for its operations.
+    permissions:
+      # If you want to clone the repository as part of your setup steps, for example to install dependencies, you'll need the `contents: read` permission. If you don't clone the repository in your setup steps, Copilot will do this for you automatically after the steps complete.
+      contents: read
+
+    # You can define any steps you want, and they will run before the agent starts.
+    # If you do not check out your code, Copilot will do this for you.
+    steps:
+      - name: Install .NET 10.x
+        uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v5
+        with:
+          dotnet-version: |
+            10.x
+          dotnet-quality: preview
+
+      - name: dotnet --info
+        run: dotnet --info
+```
+
+This will ensure that the `dnx` command is available to run the NuGet MCP server when GitHub Copilot runs as a coding agent in your repository.
+
 ## Fixing package vulnerabilities
 
 The NuGet MCP server can help you identify and fix package vulnerabilities in your project.
