Verified Code examples on this page have been automatically tested and verified.

Configure GitHub Copilot in VS Code to route requests through agentgateway.

ℹ️
Custom endpoint configuration for GitHub Copilot requires a GitHub Copilot Business or Enterprise plan. Individual Copilot plans do not support custom proxy endpoints. For more information, see the GitHub Copilot documentation.

Before you begin

  • Agentgateway running at http://localhost:3000 with a configured LLM backend.
  • VS Code with the GitHub Copilot extension installed.
  • A GitHub Copilot Business or Enterprise subscription.

Example agentgateway configuration

cat > /tmp/test-copilot.yaml << 'EOF'
# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://agentgateway.dev/schema/config
llm:
  port: 3000
  models:
  - name: "*"
    provider: openAI
    params:
      apiKey: "$OPENAI_API_KEY"
EOF

      }
    }
  4. Save the file and reload VS Code (Cmd + Shift + P > Developer: Reload Window).
