copilot

copilot is an agent for coding agents from Cantara/kcp-harness. It costs 0 tokens per session (339 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A configuration guide for connecting kcp-harness tools to GitHub Copilot in VS Code or the Copilot command-line tool. VS Code requires Copilot's Agent mode for these tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate Copilot MCP settings and instruction files for governed paths, rules, and available kcp-harness tools.
Why use it?
It prevents configuration errors caused by Copilot using different settings names and modes from other coding agents.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

copilot scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

GitHub Copilot

GitHub Copilot supports MCP in VS Code (Agent mode only) and via the Copilot CLI.

::: warning VS Code Copilot uses "servers" as the top-level key — not "mcpServers" like every other agent. The kcp-harness integrate command handles this automatically. :::

Setup

kcp-harness integrate copilot

This generates:

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "kcp-harness": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["kcp-harness", "serve"]
    }
  }
}

Note the "servers" key and the additional "type": "stdio" field.

.github/copilot-instructions.md

Instructions for Copilot's agent mode, including governed paths, rules, and available MCP tools.

Agent Mode Required

MCP tools are only available in Copilot's Agent mode. They don't work in Ask or Edit mode. In VS Code, switch Copilot Chat to Agent mode to access kcp-harness tools.

Copilot CLI

For Copilot CLI, add to ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json instead:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kcp-harness": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["kcp-harness", "serve"],
      "tools": ["*"]
    }
  }
}

Generate with:

kcp-harness integrate copilot-cli

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
