I want to hear your thoughts on if we should keep or take down the project. See #22. If people don't care, I will take the project down on 1/25/2025.
copilot-more
maximizes the value of your GitHub Copilot subscription by exposing models like gpt-4o and Claude-3.5-Sonnet for use in agentic coding tools such as Cline, or any tool that supports bring-your-own-model setups. Unlike costly pay-as-you-go APIs, this approach lets you leverage these powerful models affordably. (Yes, $10 per month maximum.)
The exposed models aren't limited to coding tasks—you can connect any AI client and customize parameters like temperature, context window length, and more.
- Respect the GitHub Copilot terms of service.
- Minimize the use of the models for non-coding purposes.
- Be mindful of the risk of being banned by GitHub Copilot for misuse.

Get the refresh token
A refresh token is used to get the access token. This token should never be shared with anyone :). You can get the refresh token by following the steps below:
- Run the following command and note down the returned
device_code
anduser_code
.:
# 01ab8ac9400c4e429b23 is the client_id for the VS Code curl https://github.com/login/device/code -X POST -d 'client_id=01ab8ac9400c4e429b23&scope=user:email'
-
Open https://github.com/login/device/ and enter the
user_code
. -
Replace
YOUR_DEVICE_CODE
with thedevice_code
obtained earlier and run:
curl https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token -X POST -d 'client_id=01ab8ac9400c4e429b23&scope=user:email&device_code=YOUR_DEVICE_CODE&grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:device_code'
- Note down the
access_token
starting withgho_
.
- Run the following command and note down the returned
-
Install and run copilot_more
-
Bare metal installation:
git clone https://github.com/jjleng/copilot-more.git cd copilot-more # install dependencies poetry install # run the server. Replace gho_xxxxx with the refresh token you got in the previous step. Note, you can use any port number you want. REFRESH_TOKEN=gho_xxxxx poetry run uvicorn copilot_more.server:app --port 15432
-
Docker Compose installation:
git clone https://github.com/jjleng/copilot-more.git cd copilot-more # run the server. Ensure you either have the refresh token in the .env file or pass it as an environment variable. docker-compose up --build
- Alternatively, use the
refresh-token.sh
script to automate the above.
Now you can connect Cline or any other AI client to http://localhost:15432
and start coding with the power of GPT-4o and Claude-3.5-Sonnet without worrying about the cost. Note, the copilot-more manages the access token, you can use whatever string as API keys if Cline or the AI tools ask for one.
- Install Cline
code --install-extension saoudrizwan.claude-dev
- Open Cline and go to the settings
- Set the following:
- API Provider:
OpenAI Compatible
- API URL:
http://localhost:15432
- API Key:
anyting
- Model:
gpt-4o
,claude-3.5-sonnet
,o1
,o1-mini
- API Provider:
For troubleshooting integration issues, you can enable traffic logging to inspect the API requests and responses.
To enable logging, set the RECORD_TRAFFIC
environment variable:
RECORD_TRAFFIC=true REFRESH_TOKEN=gho_xxxx poetry run uvicorn copilot_more.server:app --port 15432
All traffic will be logged to files in the current directory with the naming pattern: copilot_traffic_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.mitm
Attach this file when reporting issues.
Note: the Authorization header has ben redacted. So the refresh token won't be leaked.
The GH Copilot models sit behind an API server that is not fully compatible with the OpenAI API. You cannot pass in a message like this:
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{
"type": "text",
"text": "<task>\nreview the code\n</task>"
},
{
"type": "text",
"text": "<task>\nreview the code carefully\n</task>"
}
]
}
copilot-more takes care of this limitation by converting the message to a format that the GH Copilot API understands. However, without the type
, we cannot leverage the models' vision capabilities, so that you cannot do screenshot analysis.
