Connect TheirStack to GitHub Copilot CLI
Give GitHub Copilot CLI governed access to TheirStack through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add TheirStack 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
Approve TheirStack in Runlayer
Add TheirStack from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.
- 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 TheirStack’s tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

Stop a call before it runs (available)
Runlayer can deny a tool call or permission request before GitHub Copilot CLI runs it.
