Connect GitHub Copilot to AgentRQ

Connect GitHub Copilot CLI to AgentRQ over the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) for human-in-the-loop task management.

GitHub Copilot is GitHub's AI pair programmer, with Agent Client Protocol (ACP) support currently in preview.

Does GitHub Copilot Support ACP?

ACP support for Copilot CLI is in preview as of this writing. Check GitHub's Copilot docs for the current status and the exact command to start it in ACP server mode.

What Connecting via ACP Gets You

Once GitHub Copilot's CLI agent is bridged through AgentRQ's ACP Gateway, every task it works on shows up on your AgentRQ task board in real time. You can approve risky commands, reply with extra context, or reassign work — from the dashboard or Slack — without touching the terminal Copilot is running in.

Connect GitHub Copilot

Once you have Copilot CLI's ACP command from GitHub's docs, wrap it with AgentRQ's gateway:

bash 
npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest -- <copilot-acp-command>

Then point it at your workspace with a .mcp.json in your project root:

json 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentrq": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://WORKSPACE_ID.mcp.agentrq.com/mcp?token=TOKEN"
    }
  }
}

See the ACP Gateway guide for the full setup walkthrough, including where to find your Workspace ID and token.

FAQ

Does GitHub Copilot work with AgentRQ?

GitHub Copilot's ACP support is in preview. Once enabled, it can connect to AgentRQ through the open-source ACP Gateway with no custom integration code.

How do I connect GitHub Copilot to AgentRQ?

Find Copilot CLI's ACP launch command in GitHub's docs, then run npx @agentrq/acp-gateway@latest -- from your project root, with a .mcp.json pointing at your AgentRQ workspace.

What is the Agent Client Protocol (ACP)?

ACP is an open, editor-agnostic protocol that lets any coding agent talk to any client over a standard JSON-RPC interface. AgentRQ's gateway implements the client side of ACP, so any ACP-compatible agent — including GitHub Copilot — can use AgentRQ as its human-in-the-loop task manager.
