| Command | What It Does |
|---------|--------------|
| `/mcp show` | Show all configured MCP servers and their status |
| `/mcp list` | Show currently attached MCP servers and their status; can be run while Copilot is working |
| `/mcp add` | Interactive setup for adding a new server |
| `/mcp edit <server-name>` | Edit an existing server configuration |
| `/mcp enable <server-name>` | Enable a disabled server |
| `/mcp disable <server-name>` | Temporarily disable a server |
| `/mcp enable <server-name>` | Enable a disabled server (persists across sessions) |
| `/mcp disable <server-name>` | Disable a server (persists across sessions) |
| `/mcp delete <server-name>` | Remove a server permanently |
| `/mcp auth <server-name>` | Re-authenticate with an MCP server that uses OAuth (e.g., after switching accounts) |

For most of this course, `/mcp show` is all you need. The other commands become useful as you manage more servers over time.
