Connect your Python AI agents to GitHub Copilot with a powerful local bridge inside VS Code

✨ Overview

Copilot Agent Bridge unlocks the full power of GitHub Copilot by allowing your external AI systems (like Python agents) to communicate with it via a local HTTP server.

Build advanced AI workflows, automate coding tasks, and create intelligent developer tools beyond the VS Code UI.

🚀 Features

🔗 Local HTTP Bridge

Run a secure local server to connect Python agents or external tools directly to Copilot.

🤖 Multi-Model Support

Access powerful models:

• gpt-4o
• gpt-4
• o1
• o3-mini

And if you have any subscription of copilot so use all models.

🤖 Supported AI Models

✨ Copilot Agent Bridge supports a wide range of powerful AI models available through GitHub Copilot (depending on your subscription plan).

🔹 🧠 OpenAI Models

Harness cutting-edge intelligence for coding, reasoning, and multimodal tasks:

• 🚀 gpt-4o — Fast, multimodal flagship model
• 🧩 gpt-4.1 — Enhanced coding + reasoning (default in some environments)
• ⚡ gpt-4-turbo — Optimized GPT-4 with improved speed
• 🪶 gpt-3.5-turbo — Legacy model for basic tasks
• 🆕 gpt-5 (latest preview)
• 🔹 gpt-5-mini — Lightweight & efficient
• 🔥 gpt-5.1 — Next-gen performance boost

🔹 🧮 Reasoning Models (OpenAI “o-series”)

Designed for deep thinking and complex problem-solving:

• 🧠 o1 — Advanced reasoning powerhouse
• ⚡ o1-mini — Lightweight reasoning model
• 🚀 o3-mini — Fast & efficient reasoning

🔹 🤖 Anthropic Models (Claude)

Reliable, safe, and highly capable AI assistants:

• 🎯 claude-sonnet-4
• ✨ claude-sonnet-4.5
• 🏆 claude-opus-4.5
• 🚀 claude-opus-4.6
• ⚡ claude-haiku-4.5 — Fast & lightweight

🔹 🌐 Google Models

Powered by Google's advanced AI research:

• 💡 gemini-2.5-pro — High-performance multimodal model

🔹 🛠️ Other / Agent Models

Specialized tools for coding and automation:

• 👨‍💻 codex — OpenAI coding agent
• 🤖 copilot-agent — Built-in GitHub Copilot agent
• 🧩 Custom Models (BYOM) — Bring Your Own Model

⚠️ Important Notes

💡 Keep in mind:

• 📦 Model availability depends on your Copilot plan (Free, Pro, Pro+, Business, Enterprise)
• 🖥️ Not all models appear in every environment (VS Code, CLI, GitHub, etc.)
• 🔄 GitHub may update (add/remove) models over time

✨ Stay updated and choose the model that best fits your workflow! 🚀

📊 Real-Time Dashboard

Track:

• Request latency
• Token usage
• Errors
• Live activity

📁 Agent Management

Connect and manage multiple AI agent directories seamlessly.

🧪 Built-in Testing

Test prompts directly inside VS Code before integrating into your agent.

📜 Request Logging

Full request/response history with debugging support.

⚙️ Advanced Configuration

Customize:

• Port & host
• Timeout settings
• Authentication tokens
• Default AI model

🛠️ How It Works

Python Agent → HTTP Request → VS Code Extension → GitHub Copilot → Response → Agent

1. Start the bridge server
2. Send request from your AI agent
3. Extension forwards it to Copilot
4. Response is returned instantly

⚡ Quick Start

1️⃣ Start the Bridge

Ctrl + Shift + P → "Copilot Bridge: Start Bridge Server"

2️⃣ Configure Your Agent

COPILOT_BRIDGE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8765

3️⃣ Send a Request

POST /chat
{
  "message": "Explain recursion simply"
}

🔌 Use Cases

• 🤖 Build custom AI coding assistants
• 🔄 Automate development workflows
• 🧠 Create autonomous AI agents
• 🧪 Experiment with LLM pipelines
• 🛠️ Build developer tools powered by Copilot

🔐 Security

• Runs locally (127.0.0.1)
• Optional Bearer token authentication
• No external API exposure
• Full local control

📦 Installation

🔹 From VS Code Marketplace

Search: Copilot Agent Bridge

🔹 Manual Installation

1. Download .vsix
2. Open VS Code
3. Extensions → ... → Install from VSIX

📌 Requirements

• VS Code 1.80+
• GitHub Copilot enabled
• Active Copilot subscription

💡 Why Use Copilot Agent Bridge?

GitHub Copilot is powerful — but limited to editor interactions.

This extension lets you:

✔ Build AI systems around Copilot ✔ Automate repetitive coding tasks ✔ Extend Copilot into APIs ✔ Integrate with external tools ✔ Create next-gen developer workflows

🧪 Development Setup

git clone https://github.com/Rishavdes/copilot-agent-bridge.git
cd copilot-agent-bridge
npm install
npm run package

✅ Dashboard Upgrades (Latest)

This project includes an upgraded dashboard experience:

• 🧪 Multi-Model Test Console (parallel testing with live feed)
• 🧾 Full response display (no truncation in multi-model results)
• ♾️ Unlimited context window (no max_tokens: 8000 cap)
• 🎚️ Advanced parameters are real (temperature + thinking)
• 🔍 Auto-detect models (filter-only view to show what VS Code Copilot exposes)

Note: “Free/Paid” labeling depends on what VS Code exposes for each model. If tier data isn’t available, the UI shows Unknown.

🧩 API (Bridge) Overview

The extension runs a local HTTP bridge so external tools can send prompts to Copilot.

Example request

POST /chat
{
  "message": "Explain recursion simply"
}

Typical response shape

{
  "content": "...",
  "usage": {
    "prompt_tokens": 0,
    "completion_tokens": 0,
    "total_tokens": 0
  }
}
