For developers using GitHub Copilot CLI in the terminal. Using VS Code? Follow VS Code User Setup instead.

Recommended Set up with your agent

Paste this into Copilot CLI. Copilot walks you through it, one step at a time.

Help me connect StackOne to GitHub Copilot. I use GitHub Copilot CLI in my terminal. Read the setup guide at https://docs.stackone.com/ai-platforms/setup-guide.md and guide me one step at a time.

Or follow the steps yourself

Connect

1

Add StackOne

In your terminal, run:
Already in a Copilot CLI session? Enter /mcp add, set Server Name to StackOne, Server Type to HTTP and URL to the address above, then press Ctrl+S.Added StackOne in VS Code under Copilot Global? It’s already here, so go to the next step.
On Copilot Business or Enterprise, Copilot can use MCP servers like StackOne only if your organization allows them. If StackOne won’t add or start, ask your GitHub organization owner. Send them this:

Start Copilot CLI

  1. Run copilot to start a session.
  2. If your browser doesn’t open StackOne’s sign-in page, enter /mcp auth StackOne.

Sign in and authorize

  1. Sign in to StackOne. In a desktop app or code editor, this opens in your browser.
  2. If StackOne asks for a project, pick yours and click Continue to Accounts.
  3. Pick the work systems GitHub Copilot can use (your Linked Accounts).

Check it works

  1. Enter /mcp show StackOne to see StackOne’s tools.
  2. Send this, and approve the StackOne tool when Copilot asks:
Blocked by your organization. On Copilot Business or Enterprise, your GitHub organization owner decides whether Copilot can use MCP servers. Ask them to allow StackOne.No StackOne tools in chat. Enter /mcp enable StackOne.A system you need is missing. Ask your StackOne admin, or see Linking Accounts.It stopped working. Sign in again with /mcp auth StackOne. Access lasts 90 days from when you clicked Authorize.It can’t do something. It can do only what your own StackOne access allows. Ask your StackOne admin.Copilot cloud agent on GitHub. It can’t use StackOne’s sign-in, so StackOne works in VS Code and Copilot CLI only.
GitHub Copilot reaches only the Linked Accounts you approved when you connected. To add one you link later, or one someone shares with you afterwards:
