GitHub Expands Copilot Power to Mobile Code Reviews and Remote Server Integration

GitHub has rolled out two major updates to its Copilot suite, enhancing tools for developers working on the go and in distributed environments.

Firstly, Copilot Code Review is now generally available on GitHub Mobile, allowing paid Copilot users to request automated reviews directly from their phones.

The AI assistant scans pull requests for bugs, performance issues, and offers suggested fixes—bringing code quality checks into mobile workflows. Developers can easily trigger a Copilot review on any open PR and decide whether to implement or merge based on Copilot's suggestions.

"Copilot code review on GitHub Mobile is available for all paid Copilot subscribers. If organizations enable Copilot code review through github.com, it will automatically be available through GitHub Mobile," the company said.

Simultaneously, Copilot Coding Agent now supports remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, currently available in public preview. This enables repository administrators to configure remote or local MCP servers, expanding the agent’s ability to access external tools, databases, and services during coding sessions.

Developers can delegate routine tasks to Copilot from any MCP-enabled environment—such as CLI, mobile, or IDE—and continue coding uninterrupted while the agent processes and reports back.

By enabling mobile code reviews and integrating remote context servers, GitHub is streamlining development workflows across devices and environments, empowering developers to maintain momentum and code quality wherever they are.

Together, these updates make Copilot a more autonomous, context-aware coding partner, reinforcing GitHub’s vision of embedding AI support seamlessly throughout the software development lifecycle.
