Set up

Add Mintlify 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. 1

    Add Mintlify to Runlayer

    Mintlify isn’t in the Runlayer catalog yet, so an admin adds it by its MCP server URL.

    Adding a connector manually
  2. 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 Mintlify’s 35 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Mintlify

    Sign in the way Mintlify requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

  4. 4

    Use Mintlify from GitHub Copilot CLI

    Mintlify’s approved tools appear in GitHub Copilot CLI. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Tools

35 Mintlify tools in GitHub Copilot CLI

Runlayer policy decides which of these GitHub Copilot CLI users can call.

  • Agent review settings

    Change whether agent edits push directly to the deploy branch (push_to_main) or open a pull request (create_pull_request).

  • Checkout

    Select a deployment and open its editor session in one call.

  • Create node

    Insert a node into the navigation tree under parentId (null = root).

  • Delete node

    Remove a node and its subtree from the navigation tree by nodeId.

  • Diff

    Returns the list of changes between current session and main.

  • Discard session

    End the session without creating a PR.

  • Edit page

    String-replace edit on a page Y.

  • Execute code

    Run TypeScript/JavaScript against the Admin MCP dashboard SDK inside a sandboxed Cloudflare isolate.

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.

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Mintlify 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)

    Runlayer can mask sensitive parts of a successful tool’s output in GitHub Copilot CLI and pass the rest through.

In GitHub Copilot CLI

  • When a tool fails, Runlayer records the error but cannot replace it.
