foundry-hosted-agent-copilotkit for GitHub Copilot: install

Q: How do I install foundry-hosted-agent-copilotkit in GitHub Copilot?

Run `copilot plugin install foundry-hosted-agent-copilotkit@awesome-copilot`.

What foundry-hosted-agent-copilotkit does

The plugin helps wire a CopilotKit frontend to a Microsoft Agent Framework agent hosted in Microsoft Foundry. It covers choosing the integration pattern, adding tools and human-in-the-loop approvals, and using Foundry features such as conversations, background runs, memory, and session files.

It includes the /foundry-hosted-agent-copilotkit skill and two MCP servers. microsoft-learn provides access to Microsoft documentation and code samples; foundry can inspect Foundry projects, model deployments, and agents, using Microsoft Entra ID sign-in. The skill also covers deployment with azd and debugging the AG-UI event stream.

You need an Azure subscription with a Microsoft Foundry project, Azure CLI, Azure Developer CLI with the azure.ai.agents extension, Node.js, and Python. Foundry hosted agents are a paid preview service. Install this plugin if your app uses that stack; it has little to offer projects outside Microsoft Foundry.

What it helps with

connect a CopilotKit frontend to a Microsoft Foundry agent
add tools and human-in-the-loop approvals
configure Foundry conversations and background runs
deploy an app with azd
debug the AG-UI event stream

Example prompts for the agent

Add a human approval step and explain which Foundry primitives to use.
Help me deploy this app with azd and debug its AG-UI event stream.

# Foundry Hosted Agent + CopilotKit Plugin

Build and evolve agentic web apps where a CopilotKit React frontend talks over the AG-UI protocol to a Microsoft Agent Framework agent running as a Microsoft Foundry hosted agent.

## What It Includes

### Skills

| Skill | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `/foundry-hosted-agent-copilotkit` | Choose the wiring, use Foundry-native primitives (conversations, durable approvals, background runs, Toolbox, memory, session files), add tools and human-in-the-loop approvals, deploy with `azd`, and debug the AG-UI event stream. |

### MCP Servers

| Server | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `microsoft-learn` | Microsoft Learn MCP server (`https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp`) for current Agent Framework and Foundry documentation and code samples. |
| `foundry` | Foundry MCP server (`https://mcp.ai.azure.com`) for inspecting Foundry projects, model deployments, and agents. Signs in with your Microsoft Entra ID account. |

## Requirements

- An Azure subscription with a Microsoft Foundry project (hosted agents are a paid preview service).
- Azure Developer CLI (`azd`) with the `azure.ai.agents` extension, and Azure CLI.
- Node.js and Python for the frontend, CopilotKit runtime, and AG-UI gateway.
