Install and go. Copilot automatically connects to Jira, Confluence, and GitLab — all tools run directly in the extension host, no separate server needed.
What It Does
Once installed, GitHub Copilot gains the ability to:
- Read and update Jira tickets — fetch issues, transition statuses, add comments, create subtasks
- Browse Confluence pages — search, preview, and edit documentation without leaving VS Code
- Interact with GitLab/GitHub — create branches, merge requests, review diffs, and manage code reviews
- Browser-based login — sign in via your company's SSO, no API tokens to configure
How It Works
- Install the extension
- Ask Copilot to run
jira_loginorconfluence_login— a browser opens for you to sign in - Jira and Confluence session cookies are saved in VS Code SecretStorage, no API token needed
- All 50+ tools are instantly available to Copilot
No server to manage. No tokens to paste. Just install and start talking to Copilot about your projects.
