Note

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

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 {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} subscribers

{% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} and use of third-party MCP servers are disabled by default for users to whom you have assigned a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license. You can enable these features for your members on the {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} policies page for your enterprise. See Configuring policies for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %}.

• For the "{% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %}" policy, select "Enabled" or "No policy".
• For the "MCP servers on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}" policy, select "Enabled" or "No policy".

Where:

• "Enabled" means all users granted a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license by any of your organizations will be able to use the feature.
• "Disabled" means no users granted a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license by your organizations will be able to use the feature.
• "No policy" means organization owners in each of your organizations will be able to decide if their {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} licensees can use the feature.

Next steps

• If you selected Enabled, tell organization owners that {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} is enabled for all members. By default, the agent will be available in all repositories, but it is possible to opt out some or all repositories.
• If you selected No policy, discuss member enablement with organization owners.

For more information, see AUTOTITLE.

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

{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} policies, like the "{% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %}" and "MCP servers on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}" policies described above, affect only the users you assign a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license to.

If there are {% data variables.copilot.copilot_pro_plus %} users with access to your enterprise's repositories, they will be able to use {% data variables.copilot.copilot_coding_agent %} and will not be restricted by your policies.

You can choose to stop anyone using the agent in some or all of your repositories using organization-level settings. For more information, see AUTOTITLE.

Alternatively, you can disable the agent for all repositories owned by your enterprise.
