Install the plugin
Once the Copilot CLI starts in your Terminal, run the following commands one at a time in that window:
Authenticate
Kobiton MCP supports authentication using OAuth (recommended) or an API key.
OAuth (recommended)
Trigger the OAuth flow from inside the session:
A browser window opens for authentication.
Sign in using:
- Kobiton credentials
- Google
- GitHub
The Copilot CLI stores OAuth tokens automatically for future sessions.
Use /mcp (or /mcp show) at any time to inspect server status.
API key
Use API key authentication for:
- CI/CD pipelines
- headless environments
- systems without browser access
Generate an API key in Kobiton Portal > Settings > API Keys. Then export:
Update .mcp.json
(or ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json)
to include the Authorization header.
Run a command
After authentication, enter commands in the Copilot CLI using natural language.
