Note

For an introduction to {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %}, see AUTOTITLE.

Prerequisites

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

Note

{% 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 assigned a {% data variables.copilot.copilot_enterprise %} or {% data variables.copilot.copilot_business_short %} license by your organization.

Organizations with {% data variables.copilot.copilot_enterprise_short %} or {% data variables.copilot.copilot_business_short %} 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".

Disabling or enabling {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} in your repositories

By default, {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} is available in all repositories for users who have access to the agent, but you can block it from being used in some or all repositories owned by your organization.

{% 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 {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} is enabled for a repository, any user with access to {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} and write permission for the repository can delegate work to {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}.

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:
