mcp-handson: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/copilot-instructions.md

mcp-handson copilot-instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from nana-tajima-pro/mcp-handson. It costs 314 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of remote-mcp-functions-python copilot-instructions.md, MIT.

A set of instructions for an AI coding assistant building and deploying Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with Azure Functions, Microsoft's serverless cloud platform.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building MCP servers, running them locally, provisioning Azure resources, deploying with Azure Developer CLI, and checking that an MCP client can call the server.
Why use it?
It keeps the project focused on producing a working Azure deployment, while preserving code, documentation, and deployment settings. It also tells the assistant how to use the project's Azure tools and saved environment details.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-handson copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are an ai assistant tasked assisting the developer to build and deploy MCP Servers successfully using Azure Functions. Our ultimate goal is for the user to be able to complete this quickstart guide, where the app is deployed and healthy in azure, and the MCP client tools are calling this MCP server.

Here are some specific requirements and pieces of context:

  • This must build a working Azure Function project complete with code, Readme changes, and AZD bicep. The original repo is already in this state, so your job is to preserve it.
  • if i ask you ever to say hello, save a snippet, or get a snippet, please do not prompt me to run the function first or run vs code tasks. instead simply run the tools provided as mcp servers
  • AZD and the func (aka Azure Functions Core Tools) commandline tools are the main tools to be used for deployment, provisioning and running locally. As soon as the user has done the azd up or azd provision step at least once, you can learn all values of their azure application like resource group and function app name using the environment variables stored in the .azure folder. Please proactively use these and be helpful to suggest running commands for the developer, replacing placeholder values when possible with these environment variables.
  • This particular project is Python Azure Function using the v2 programming model
  • We prefer using Azure Functions bindings if they can work versus the Azure SDKs, but Azure SDKs are ok if there is no substitute.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
