# GitHub Code Search as Context

## Why This is Copilot-Exclusive

Copilot CLI includes built-in GitHub MCP tools for global code search and repository
inspection. That makes it practical to search for real implementations on GitHub, read
the matching files, and bring the results back into your current task without leaving
the CLI.

## When to Use

- You want grounded implementation examples before writing a new pattern
- You need to compare how multiple repositories solve the same problem
- You want to inspect real API usage instead of relying only on memory or docs
