  • Hi Paul,
    Currently it is not possible to integrate VS Code Copilot extension directly with CCStudio IDE.

    For further information, please refer below link.

  • My recommendation is to use CoPilot CLI when wanting to use CoPilot with CCStudio IDE. The setup fis very simple but not intuitive.

    1) In CCStudio IDE run the AI setup wizard and select Claude Code, don't worry about any of the authentication details as they are not relevant.  Click Apply at the bottom.  This will install all of the CCStudio AI hooks into your workspace (CLAUDE.md with guidance, .mcp.json with the MCP server info, and our skills).

    2) Run CoPilot CLI from your terminal starting from your workspace folder.  It will automatically read in the information in step 1 and is ready to drive CCStudio.

    Step 1 is not ideal in that it is non-intuitive and installs the Claude Code extension, but the upside is that it does everything you need to be able to use CoPilot CLI with CCStudio IDE.  With this approach you can use your CoPilot account directly without having to worry about something like LiteLLM.  In a future release we will add the ability to select CoPilot in the AI setup wizard.
