GitHub's public-preview code-review upgrade ties Copilot to custom agent skills and MCP servers
SaveGitHub says Copilot code review now supports custom agent skills and MCP server connections in public preview for current paid Copilot tiers.
This is a strong developer-tools and agents signal because it moves MCP and skill-connected review workflows into a mainstream software platform rather than leaving them in toolchain demos.
The important shift here is distribution. MCP and custom skill wiring are no longer confined to niche agent demos if GitHub is making them part of public-preview code review inside Copilot. That makes the post useful as a canonical developer-tools signal because it suggests mainstream software teams will start seeing agent-connected review surfaces in a place they already work, which broadens the practical footprint of the ecosystem.
