Insiders Mode gives you access to experimental features in the GitHub MCP Server. These features may change, evolve, or be removed based on community feedback.
We created this mode to have a way to roll out experimental features and collect feedback. So if you are using Insiders, please don't hesitate to share your feedback with us!
Note
Features in Insiders Mode are experimental.
