Copilot Sdk

If you're building an app that needs AI agent capabilities, this wraps GitHub's production Copilot engine so you don't have to build orchestration yourself. It handles planning, tool calling, and streaming in TypeScript, Python, Go, or .NET. The interesting bit is you can define custom tools with JSON schemas or Pydantic models, and Copilot decides when to invoke them during multi-step reasoning. You get the same runtime that powers Copilot CLI, just exposed as an SDK. Requires the CLI installed and authenticated first. Good fit if you want agentic workflows without writing your own LLM plumbing, or if you need to connect custom tools and MCP servers to Copilot's agent loop.

GitHub Copilot SDK

Embed Copilot's agentic workflows in any application using Python, TypeScript, Go, or .NET.

Overview

The GitHub Copilot SDK exposes the same engine behind Copilot CLI: a production-tested agent runtime you can invoke programmatically. No need to build your own orchestration - you define agent behavior, Copilot handles planning, tool invocation, file edits, and more.

Prerequisites

GitHub Copilot CLI installed and authenticated (Installation guide)
Language runtime: Node.js 18+, Python 3.8+, Go 1.21+, or .NET 8.0+

Verify CLI: copilot --version
