  2. Ensure the create_pull_request_with_copilot tool is enabled.

  3. Open chat.

  4. Type a prompt asking Copilot to create a pull request, with the details of what you want to change.

    Sugerencia

    • You can ask Copilot to open a pull request using a specific branch as the base branch by including it in your prompt.

  5. Submit your prompt.

    Copilot will start a new session, open a draft pull request and work on the task in the background. As it works, it will push changes to the pull request, and once it has finished, it will add you as a reviewer. In most cases, the MCP host will show you the URL of the created pull request.
