GitHub Copilot Integration

BaseLayer captures your GitHub Copilot chat conversations automatically through the desktop app’s IDE watcher.

Setup

No setup required. The BaseLayer desktop app detects Copilot conversations in VS Code and other supported editors. Just make sure:
  1. The BaseLayer desktop app is running
  2. IDE Watchers are enabled in Settings

What gets captured

Copilot Chat conversations (including questions, code suggestions, and explanations) are captured and processed by the dream engine.

Verify it’s working

Open the BaseLayer desktop app → Settings → IDE Watchers. You should see Copilot activity listed with recent timestamps.
Copilot inline completions (gray ghost text) are not captured. Only explicit chat conversations.

Recall (MCP setup)

VS Code Copilot supports MCP connections. Add BaseLayer to your VS Code MCP settings: Add to your VS Code settings or .vscode/mcp.json:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "baselayer": {
      "url": "https://api.baselayer.id/mcp"
    }
  }
}
