Enabling Copilot coding agent for your Copilot subscribers
Copilot coding agent and use of third-party MCP servers are blocked by default for users to whom you have assigned a Copilot license. You can allow members to use these features from the AI Controls tab for your enterprise. See Managing policies and features for GitHub Copilot in your enterprise.
- On the "Agents" page, click Copilot coding agent, then select Enabled everywhere or Let organizations decide.
- On the "MCP" page, for the "MCP servers in Copilot" policy, select Enabled everywhere or Let organizations decide.
Next steps
- If you selected Enabled everywhere, tell organization owners that 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 Let organizations decide, discuss member enablement with organization owners.
For more information, see Adding GitHub Copilot coding agent to your organization.
Disabling Copilot coding agent in your repositories
Copilot policies, like the "Copilot coding agent" and "MCP servers on GitHub.com" policies described above, affect only the users you assign a Copilot license to.
If there are GitHub Copilot Pro+ users with access to your enterprise's repositories, they will be able to use 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 Adding GitHub Copilot coding agent to your organization.
