Prerequisites

• For general information, see AUTOTITLE.
• For information on premium requests and Actions minutes, see Allowance usage for {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %}.
• For information on MCP servers, see AUTOTITLE.

Enabling {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} for your members

{% data reusables.organizations.copilot-policy-ent-overrides-org %}

{% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} and use of third-party MCP servers are disabled by default for organization members. Organization owners with {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_enterprise %} can enable these features for members on the {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} policies page for their organization. See Enabling {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} features in your organization.

• For the "{% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %}" policy, select "Enabled".
• For the "MCP servers on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}" policy, select "Enabled".

Defining which repositories {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} can operate in

Owners of any organization—even organizations without a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} plan—can define which repositories {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} can work in. {% data reusables.profile.access_org %} {% data reusables.profile.org_settings %} {% data reusables.copilot.coding-agent-settings %}

1. Use the "Repository access" control to define which repositories allow {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %}.
2. If you choose "Selected repositories", in the "Select repositories" dialog, select the repositories that allow {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %}, then click Select.

Once Copilot coding agent is enabled for a repository, any user with access to Copilot coding agent and write permission for the repository can delegate work to Copilot.

Next steps

• Tell the members of repositories where {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} is available that they can delegate work to the coding agent.

• Encourage members to educate themselves about setting up their repository to get the most from {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %}. Useful resources:
