# GitHub Copilot Integration with OfoxAI Configuration Guide

Source: https://ofox.ai/docs/integrations/copilot

Using the VS Code extension **OAI Compatible Provider for Copilot**, you can integrate OfoxAI with GitHub Copilot Chat to use Claude, GPT, Gemini, and 100+ models right in your familiar editor.

This extension requires a **GitHub Copilot Individual subscription** and does not support Copilot Business or Enterprise users. If you don't have a Copilot subscription, consider using [Cursor](https://ofox.ai/docs/integrations/cursor) or [Cherry Studio](https://ofox.ai/docs/integrations/cherry-studio) instead.

## Prerequisites

- A registered OfoxAI account with an API Key ([Get one here](https://app.ofox.ai))
- [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) installed
- A valid **GitHub Copilot Individual** subscription (Business / Enterprise not supported)

## Configuration Steps

### Step 1: Install the Extension

Search for **OAI Compatible Provider for Copilot** (by Johnny Zhao) in the VS Code Extension Marketplace and click **Install**.

## FAQ

**Q: I can't find the extension in the marketplace**

Search the full name `OAI Compatible Provider for Copilot`, or search by the author name `Johnny Zhao`.

**Q: I can't find `OAICopilot: Open Configuration UI` in the Command Palette**

Make sure the extension is installed and enabled. You may need to reload the VS Code window after installation (`Cmd+Shift+P` → `Reload Window`).

**Q: The models I added don't appear in the chat panel**

In the model selector dropdown, disable **Auto** mode and look under the **Other Models** category, or click **Manage Models...** to check if the models were added correctly.

**Q: "Invalid API Key" error or request failure**

Check the following:
1. Is the Global Base URL exactly `https://api.ofox.ai/v1` (no trailing slash)?
2. Was the API Key copied in full from the [OfoxAI Console](https://app.ofox.ai) (no leading/trailing spaces)?
3. Is the Provider's API Mode set to `Anthropic`?

**Q: Tab completion still uses the official Copilot model**

This is expected behavior. OAI Compatible Provider currently only affects **Copilot Chat** conversations. Tab code completion is controlled by GitHub Copilot officially.

**Q: I'm a Copilot Business / Enterprise user — can I use this?**

Not currently. This extension only supports **GitHub Copilot Individual** users. Business and Enterprise users will need to wait for future version support.
