"Initially available for Node.js/ TypeScript, Python, Go, and .NET, the GitHub Copilot SDK exposes the same engine behind the GitHub Copilot CLI, a production-tested agent runtime that can be invoked programmatically. There is no need to build orchestration, according GitHub. Users define agent behavior, and Copilot handles planning, tool invocation, file edits, and more, according to GitHub. A GitHub Copilot subscription is required to use the SDK."
"Developers using the SDK can take advantage of GitHub Copilot CLI's support for multiple AI models, custom tool definitions, Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integration, GitHub authentication, and real-time streaming. GitHub teams already have used the SDK for applications such YouTube chapter generators, custom GUIs for agents, speech-to-command workflows to run apps, games in which players can compete with AI, and ummarizing tools."
A technical preview of the GitHub Copilot SDK launched on January 22. The SDK embeds the agentic core of the GitHub Copilot CLI and exposes the same production-tested agent runtime for programmatic invocation. Initially available for Node.js/TypeScript, Python, Go, and .NET, the SDK removes the need for developers to build orchestration by handling planning, tool invocation, file edits, and related agent tasks. Developers define agent behavior while the runtime executes actions. A GitHub Copilot subscription is required to use the SDK. Supported features include multiple AI models, custom tool definitions, Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integration, GitHub authentication, and real-time streaming. Teams have used the SDK for YouTube chapter generators, custom GUIs, speech-to-command workflows, AI-enabled games, and summarization tools.
