github/copilot-plugins

The official GitHub Copilot plugins collection — MCP servers, skills, hooks, and other extensibility tools for GitHub Copilot.

What it solves

GitHub Copilot plugins provide a way to extend the core capabilities of GitHub Copilot by adding new skills, integrations, and automation tools, allowing users to handle more specialized tasks within the AI assistant.

How it works

The project serves as a central collection of plugins and references to external plugins. It utilizes several extensibility mechanisms:

  • Skills: Reusable prompts and workflows for common tasks.
  • MCP Servers: Model Context Protocol servers that provide new capabilities (coming soon).
  • Hooks: Custom integrations and event-driven automations.
  • Extensibility Tools: Building blocks for creating custom plugins (coming soon).

Who it’s for

Developers using GitHub Copilot who want to integrate their workflows, external tools (like Azure DevOps or Microsoft Fabric), and custom automation into their AI-assisted coding experience.

Highlights

  • Centralized Plugin Marketplace: A single location to find official and external plugins.
  • External Integrations: Includes plugins for Azure DevOps, GitHub Advanced Security, and Microsoft Power Platform.
  • **C++ Language Server: Provides specialized navigation and interaction for C++ code.
  • Extensibility Framework: Supports skills, hooks, and MCP servers to customize Copilot's behavior.

    microsoft/power-platform-skills

    Power Platform Skills is a Microsoft‑maintained plugin marketplace that adds AI‑driven “skills” for GitHub Copilot CLI and Claude Code. The plugins let an LLM agent create, edit, and deploy Power Platform artefacts—Power Pages sites, model‑driven apps, Canvas apps, Power Automate flows, process‑mining analytics, and more—by invoking the Power Platform CLI, Node scripts, or MCP servers. Install via a one‑line script, then use natural‑language commands like `/app-builder` or `/analytics` to have the agent generate tables, forms, code apps, mobile apps, or run analytics. The repo includes auto‑update, permission‑control guides, telemetry opt‑out, and full development instructions. It is a genuine AI‑enabled tooling project for Power Platform development.

  • Project
    github/app

    The GitHub Copilot app is a desktop client that lets you run Copilot‑powered AI agents in isolated git worktrees or cloud environments, manage issues/PRs across repos, and automate prompts. It provides visual “canvases” for agent output, parallel sessions, and an “Agent Merge” flow to auto‑merge PRs after checks. Installable on Windows, macOS, and Linux; requires a Copilot plan or your own model key.
