Set up Copilot SDK

Find the right setup guide that matches how you plan to use Copilot SDK.

Use Azure Managed Identity (Entra ID) to authenticate GitHub Copilot SDK with Azure AI Foundry models instead of static API keys.

Run GitHub Copilot SDK in server-side applications such as APIs, web backends, microservices, and background workers.

The Node.js, Python, and .NET SDKs include Copilot CLI as a dependency—your app ships with everything it needs, with no extra installation or configuration required.

Let users authenticate with their GitHub accounts to use GitHub Copilot through your application.

Use GitHub Copilot SDK with the CLI already signed in on your machine—the simplest configuration, with no auth code or infrastructure required.

Design your GitHub Copilot SDK deployment to serve multiple users, handle concurrent sessions, and scale horizontally across infrastructure.
