Context
GitHub added Copilot integrations that let teams initiate work inside Slack and Microsoft Teams. Its announcement says mentioning GitHub in a conversation can start planning, problem investigation or a coding-task handoff. The change connects the place where teammates discuss work with the agent that can take it on, letting them coordinate that work through the conversation.
- AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
- MCP — The Model Context Protocol — an open standard that lets any AI assistant plug into any tool or data source without custom integration code.
