PowerShell as an MCP Tooling Host: Using MCPServerPS to Supercharge AI-Assisted...
summary
Claims that MCPServerPS exposes PS1 and module functions as MCP tools and shows a working backport pipeline built from PowerShell plus GitHub CLI, VS Code, MCP Inspector and Copilot. Demonstrates two MCP servers (11 and 14 tools), a real backport run that creates a worktree, cherry‑picks a PR and opens a backport PR successfully, and routes Write-Verbose/Debug to stderr for client logging. Contrasts hot-loading for PS1 scripts (isolated, parallel) with module functions (shared runspace, in‑memory state), and provides agent instructions and examples that work as shown.
