Connect Greenhouse to GitHub Copilot CLI
Give GitHub Copilot CLI governed access to Greenhouse’s 156 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add Greenhouse 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 Greenhouse to Runlayer
Greenhouse 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 Greenhouse’s 156 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in GitHub Copilot CLI
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what GitHub Copilot CLI exposes to Runlayer.

Every Greenhouse call from GitHub Copilot CLI passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, GitHub Copilot CLI as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Client hooks (available)
Capture supported prompts, reasoning, local and MCP tool calls, responses, and scanner decisions in real time.
Stop a call before it runs (available)
Runlayer can deny a tool call or permission request before GitHub Copilot CLI runs it.
Block output after it runs (available)
Runlayer can block a tool’s output before GitHub Copilot CLI’s model sees it.
Redact output in place (available)
