Connect Assembled to GitHub Copilot CLI
Give GitHub Copilot CLI governed access to Assembled’s 13 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add Assembled to GitHub Copilot CLI in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in GitHub Copilot CLI then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Add Assembled to Runlayer
Assembled isn’t in the Runlayer catalog yet, so an admin adds it by its MCP server URL.
Adding a connector manually - 2
Connect GitHub Copilot CLI to Runlayer
Users add the Runlayer Plugin to GitHub Copilot CLI by following Runlayer’s setup guide. GitHub Copilot CLI reaches Assembled’s 13 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.
