# GitHub Copilot

> Automatic conversation capture from GitHub Copilot.

# 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.

<Tip>Copilot inline completions (gray ghost text) are not captured. Only explicit chat conversations.</Tip>

## 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`:

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "baselayer": {
      "url": "https://api.baselayer.id/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```
