Agent mode and MCP support for Copilot in Eclipse now in public preview

GitHub Copilot agent mode with MCP support for Eclipse is now in public preview! You can enable GitHub Copilot with any GitHub account and experience the autonomous coding experience today.

✨ What's new

Agent mode

With the introduction of agent mode in Eclipse, Copilot functions as an autonomous pair programmer that can perform multi-step coding tasks at your command, such as analyzing your codebase, proposing edits, and executing terminal commands using a defined set of tools. With agent mode, Copilot can even iterate on its own code, detect errors, and fix them automatically.

Each tool in the agent toolkit has specific capabilities that help Copilot complete these tasks. For example, Copilot can search the workspace, read file contents, execute terminal commands, retrieve compile or lint errors from the editor, and apply code changes via a speculative decoder endpoint. The set of available tools continues to grow as we experiment with new ones to further enhance the capabilities of Copilot in agent mode.

Here's what a typical workflow looks like in agent mode after you enter your request:

• Semantic understanding: Copilot interprets your request in Copilot Chat and analyzes the codebase to understand the task's intent and requirements.

• Plan proposal: Copilot leverages your code to build context around the request. Based on its understanding, it breaks the task into smaller steps and formulates a plan.

• Plan execution: Copilot asks for confirmation to take the actions outlined in the previous bullet. Some examples of actions it might take include:

  • Terminal execution: Executing terminal commands for the related tasks such as building the project and installing dependencies. (Demoed by Eclipse IDE).
    

• Task complete: After successfully implementing the changes, Copilot reviews its work, finalizes the task, and provides you with a summary of what changed.

MCP support

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI models to interact with external tools and services through a unified interface. With Copilot supporting MCP in Eclipse, agent mode gets extended capabilities from the tools contributed by MCP servers, so Copilot can assist across more workflows and tasks.

Set up your local MCP servers

You can define your servers in a configuration file (e.g., mcp.json) by doing the following:

• In Eclipse: Click on the GitHub Copilot icon -> Edit Preferences -> find the MCP Servers section

🛠 Try it out

Copilot agent mode is in preview and available today to all Eclipse users. You need to update the plugin to the latest version. To access Copilot agent mode for Eclipse, you also need a Copilot license.

On very first time I start typing in the code I always get this error below:

[jdneo]

Hi @iloveeclipse, thank you for the feedback.

Seems that we need to wrap the calling of ContextService.activateContext() to the UI thread.

One question: I tried to reproduce it locally but not success. Is it related with specific eclipse version?

[iloveeclipse]

Hi @jdneo , yes, I was using 4.35 nightly build. You can try with this one, which will be 4.35M3: https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/I20250213-1800/
I can also fix it by myself if you give me access to the code.
See https://accounts.eclipse.org/users/aloskutov#tab-projects

[jdneo]

We've fixed this issue on our end, will let you know if we will release a patch containing the fix. Thank you!

[jdneo]

@iloveeclipse 0.2.0 is released with the fix for this issue. Pls let us know if you can still see the exception. Thank you!

[iloveeclipse]

@jdneo : thanks, so far haven't seen it again with 0.2.0 version. Great!
Next goal: sort out the problem with multipage editors I've reported below :-)

[iloveeclipse]

It seems that every AI interaction / code proposal is logged to the Eclipse Error log as "Info":

Logging is fine, but that pollutes application log with lot of "garbage". Ideally this would be redirected to a dedicated log file and only warnings/errors are printed to the main log file.

[jdneo]

Tracked the issue in our list. Thanks for the suggestion. 👍

[bhavesh4321]

Not working for me :-(

[ethanyhou]

Hi @bhavesh4321 , may I know what issue are you facing?

[hieplq]

I bring my report to here

This message still appears multiple times even after I dismiss it.

comment from ethanyhou
Hi @hieplq ,

Thanks for the feedback. Could you please let me know if the dialogue appears multiple times when Eclipse starts up, or does it occur every time you type a character on the keyboard?

[hieplq]

This message appears on a timer (about every few minutes) and can create duplicates if you don’t dismiss the previous one.

[ethanyhou]

Hi @hieplq,

After investigation, this is a server-side feature despite the IDE environment. You can log out of the plugin and log back in once your quota is refreshed as a workaround. We will also try to improve the user experience in future releases. Thanks for your feedback!

[RyoObayashi]

There are several errors. This is part of them.
What can I do? I'm not familiar with Eclipse, and I apologize if this is a silly question. Thank you.

What I did:
I couldn't install the plugin from the Eclipse Marketplace, so I added the certificates using keytool. I used the following commands:

keytool -import -alias server-cert1 -file "C:\pleiades\2024-12\java\21\lib\security\azuredownloads-g3ahgwb5b8bkbxhd.b01.azurefd.net.crt"
keytool -import -alias server-cert2 -file "C:\pleiades\2024-12\java\21\lib\security\copilot.microsoft.com.crt" -keystore "C:\pleiades\2024-12\java\21\lib\security\cacerts" -storepass changeit

The installation was successful, but the error occurred.

[RyoObayashi]

My issue is not that I cannot download the plugin, but that the downloaded plugin does not work.
Using the linked solution, I was able to download it by loading the certificate myself, but it does not function properly.
I am facing exactly the same problem as N1k145

[RyoObayashi]

My issue was completely resolved by including the following in the eclipse.ini file:
It may also help other users experiencing certificate-related errors.

-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=WINDOWS-ROOT

[jdneo]

@RyoObayashi Thanks for sharing!

This is just for the java part, I had to set environment variable NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED to 0 for the LS to work. See https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/151288#discussioncomment-12671758

[iloveeclipse]

What is a license restrictions on the bundle? Can it be redistributed with a commercial Eclipse RCP application?

[ethanyhou]

Hi @iloveeclipse , thanks for the suggestion. We are working on the license redistribution for the app and the license will be updated in the future release.

[ethanyhou]

Hi @iloveeclipse , the license has been updated to Commercial - Free. Thanks for the feedback.

[iloveeclipse]

@ethanyhou : thank you. Can you please give a link to the license file used?

[jdneo]

@iloveeclipse Just got the reply from our legal team that the terms do not restrict redistribution.

You can find it here:

[kwin]

Please bundle per OS/architecture, currently com.microsoft.copilot.eclipse.core_0.1.0.202502101332.jar is 130 MB, the biggest parts in it being the language server binary which is embedded 4 times

1. mac aarch64
2. mac x86
3. linux
4. windows
   (each being around 50 MB).

The p2 tooling allows you to have architecture specific bundles.

[kwin]

See https://help.eclipse.org/latest/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fmisc%2Ffeature_manifest.html -> plugin->os and plugin->arch

[jdneo]

Thank you @kwin!

This is exactly something we want to do!

[kwin]

When will it be possible to switch the underlying models?

[iloveeclipse]

@ethanyhou : I've tried v0.3.0 now on RHEL Linux 9.2 / Eclipse 4.35 / Java 21, chat view seem mostly work, however the upper half of the chat area doesn't properly repaint, you can see it here where I've resized view few times:

I don't see any errors in the log...

[kwin]

Thanks for the update, I find the UI a bit confusing (at least on Mac OS). It is not clear where the input prompt is at first glance. You should make that more obvious. It doesn't look like any other default input fields...

[ethanyhou]

Hi @kwin, I've notified our designer to redesign the text input area and we will improved the chat view UI in the future releases. Please feel free to let us know if there are any other concerns.

[ethanyhou]

Hi @iloveeclipse ,

It seems like this is an Linux specific issue. We will address it and keep you updated. Thanks for your patience.

cc @jdneo

[totomomo18]

I don't think the Ui being confusing is a only a Linux issue I work with windows and it is the same thing like Kwin said " It is not clear where the input prompt is at first glance. You should make that more obvious. It doesn't look like any other default input fields."

[MARCxGAMBIT]

I am using Eclipse 2024-12 (4.34.0) to develop in an SAP environment. I have installed the Copilot plugin today.

As soon as I open source code (ABAP class, RAP behaviour, Service definition, Table definition) I am getting the following error:

An error has occurred. See error log for more details.
class com.sap.adt.tools.abapsource.ui.sources.editors.AbapSourcePage$OutlineTextOperationTarget cannot be cast to class org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextViewer (com.sap.adt.tools.abapsource.ui.sources.editors.AbapSourcePage$OutlineTextOperationTarget is in unnamed module of loader org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.EquinoxClassLoader @7bbaf968; org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextViewer is in unnamed module of loader org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.EquinoxClassLoader @681c6964)

And when opening CDS views I am getting a similar error:

An error has occurred. See error log for more details.
class com.sap.adt.cds.ddl.ui.internal.editors.pages.DdlSourcePage$2 cannot be cast to class org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextViewer (com.sap.adt.cds.ddl.ui.internal.editors.pages.DdlSourcePage$2 is in unnamed module of loader org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.EquinoxClassLoader @6df7b3c6; org.eclipse.jface.text.ITextViewer is in unnamed module of loader org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.EquinoxClassLoader @681c6964)

[DaveBSydney]

Thank you @ethanyhou for this. But can we PLEASE have access to a downloadable archive file for local installation. As mentioned before our network blocks the usual jar file download process. This would be greatly appreciated.

[hangwan97]

@MARCxGAMBIT GitHub Copilot for Eclipse now supports ABAP: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/java/introducing-abap-support-in-github-copilot-for-eclipse/

[ethanyhou]

Hi @DaveBSydney ,

As I replied in your main post, you can download it here.

[DaveBSydney]

Thanks so much @ethanyhou

[MARCxGAMBIT]

@ethanyhou @hangwan97 after upgrading to Copilot 0.4.0 my Eclipse (2024-12) refused to launch. Haven't had the time to reproduce this so I am not sure if it's related to the specific Eclipse version or maybe another plugin I am using. I did a clean install of 2025-03 and now Copilot is working 😍

[iloveeclipse]

We see errors while typing ESC key in our multipage editors, coming from

Note: this also happens if the "Automatically show inline completions" option is off, which is yet another issue (I would assume DiscardSuggestionHandler shouldn't be active in this case).

[iloveeclipse]

Yes, and sorry it took time to answer.
Create a new Plug-In project with default wizard, in the opened MANIFEST.MF file go to the MANIFEST.MF tab and hit ESC key.

I've noticed that it is important that the bug appears only if the multipage editor is opened with non-text page first. If the multipage editor opened and the active tab is a text editor, everything is fine. So it seem that the copilot contribution that hooks into the editor open event miss the tab change in multipage editor.

[jdneo]

Is there a listener interface when switching tabs in a multi page editor?

[iloveeclipse]

I guess few possibilities, depending on what your code is doing.
Let assume you have listener that reacts on part opening and does something with the part. It could ask if the part is instanceof MultiPageEditorPart and then add org.eclipse.ui.part.MultiPageEditorPart.addPageChangedListener(IPageChangedListener) to it.

[jdneo]

Thank you we will take a look.

[jdneo]

@iloveeclipse Seems that it's more complicated than I think. I can reproduce it via a markdown file: Opening a .md file will first display the render result in editor, then switch the tab to source, press ESC, I can see the same error.

But the thing is that, it's not a MultiPageEditorPart. It's org.eclipse.mylyn.internal.wikitext.ui.editor.MarkupEditor. But I don't want to fix it case by case. I'm trying to find if there is a general way to fix it.

Hi @N1k145 , could you please send related language server logs to us? Here are the steps:

• Window->Preference->Language Servers->Logs
• Enable log to file for Github Copilot Language Server
  
• Restart Eclipse, reproduce your issue
• Find the related logs containing signinInitiate and getcompletions in log file(You can find the file location in the screenshot above)
  

[N1k145]

@yanshudan
I did try it first but did not get the sign in the log, so I did log out and in again and have now the issue like you expected it.
I think the previous login was maybe shared from another IDE or the older Unofficial Copilot Plugin from GenuiTec

It looks like you have StrictSSL enabled. Could you please check if there are any entries like this in the log?

Yes there is a log message like this and the checkbox is not set:

The checkbox is for the java part. LS is managed by node.

A workaround is setting the the environment variable NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED to0

[totomomo18]

It is great the Github Copilot decided to officially support Eclipse. I have tried it on my Sts and the completions of code works fast
but why not Chat option ? Please keep working on it give it a Chat , A multi model select, The ability to create new file not just copy code in the editor and maybe someday to ability to have add/edit multiple files in a single prompt in the chat

[totomomo18]

Awesome It looks good thank you. but why don't I see Claude Sonnet 3.7 as a model to choose. I can understand that I don't see it if I log with an account that is on the free tier but I am logging with a paid user that should have an option of Sonnet 3.7. Copilot4Eclipse who uses your subscription does that. Is this a bug or is this by design ? Also could you tell what could be the next upgrades and when do you except them to come out ? may I suggest you add to option to create a file on the project from the answer on the chat or to apply the change on an existing file. maybe someday you will have multi files edits and creations in Eclipse

[jdneo]

We are trying our best to launch Claude 3.7 ASAP.

Long story short, currently those newest models will launch to different IDEs progressively. Copilot4Eclipse can have it because it mimic itself as a JetBrains IDE during initialization, which is a kind of abuse of the protocol.

BTW, we are also considering some work to make all the models can be launched to all ides at the same time in the future. Which can avoid confusion like this.

[jdneo]

@totomomo18 0.5.0 just released which contains Claude 3.7 & GPT 4.5 in chat

[totomomo18]

Thank you for the update but I don't see the plugin has been updated when I do check for update on eclipse do I need to reinstall it or is there a different update site link ? how do I get the update ? Also I need to know if I use the free tier can I use this plugin at work to develop commercial apps/websites or do my company need to buy a company license ?

[jdneo]

Thank you for the update but I don't see the plugin has been updated when I do check for update on eclipse do I need to reinstall it or is there a different update site link ? how do I get the update ?

Have you tried to search the plugin and click update?

Also I need to know if I use the free tier can I use this plugin at work to develop commercial apps/websites or do my company need to buy a company license
You can find the term in the properties page of the plugin:

[kwin]

Any plans to publically expose the sources on GitHub? Usually Eclipse plugins work best as open source…

[nickzhums]

Hi @kwin , thanks for your suggestion! At this moment, we are more focused on improving this product and making the experience as smooth as possible for the users. We will keep the community updated if we explore this option in the future.

[hock37wong]

Hi GitHub Copilot Expert,

I am facing a login issue through Eclipse.

Here is the error message "Sign in failed: org.eclipse.lsp4j.jsonrpc.ResponseErrorException: Could not log in with device flow on github.com: certificate signature failure".

Kindly guide me how to solve this issue. Thank you

[jdneo]

Are you behind a proxy? If yes, have you set related preferences in Eclipse?

[hock37wong]

Hi @jdneo ,

I have updated the proxy based on the documentation. Somehow, it still not working. Do I miss out something? Thanks

[hock37wong]

Hi @jdneo, after change the active provider to 'manual', I am able to login copilot.

[jdneo]

Thank you, good to know!

[gmgunderground]

GPT-4.1 That is the free premium request (for basic plan) is not available

[jdneo]

We will release a new version in next week which will include gpt 4.1

[totomomo18]

will the new version next week also include agent mode and/or mcp server support ?

[2008Choco]

Is there a central location with documented changelogs for Eclipse's Copilot plugin? I find myself referring back to this discussion any time an update is released and doing a search for the new version to see if maybe there's information in the replies, which doesn't feel optimal 😅

[DaveBSydney]

https://github.com/microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Eclipse/releases

[2008Choco]

Is this repository only granted to those with access to Copilot? If so, I'm provided GitHub Copilot through my work, and that doesn't seem to recognize I have access. Otherwise, I'm just unable to view this repository at all.

[DaveBSydney]

If you have GH and Copilot through work then typically they (work) will restrict what repos you can interact with. Use a browser that you don't normally use (or maybe Incognito mode) and sign up to GH with a personal email address, not your work one. You should be able to see the above then.

[jdneo]

@2008Choco That repo is going to be retired soon. We used it for making internal pre-release.

In future, we are planning to have another pre-release channel in the marketplace directly.

To know what's new in released version, we introduced What's new in 0.6.0:

[2008Choco]

Thank you very much! That's very helpful!

[dgibson66]

The 0.6.0 release is available - GPT-4.1 and Agent mode (preview) are both there and seem to work great so far! Thanks GitHub Team!

[cypher256]

Private Repository?

[totomomo18]

It works really fast thank you Github/Microsoft

[jdneo]

@DaveBSydney Done: https://github.com/microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Eclipse/releases/tag/0.6.0

[DaveBSydney]

@jdneo Thank you sir!

[ethanyhou]

Hi @cypher256 ,

The new version has been publicly released, you can download the latest update via eclipse marketplace as well: https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/github-copilot

[DaveBSydney]

Just tried 0.6.0 Agent mode and got this:

I'm using SAP ABAP so it seems to be tripping up on the semantic file system the SAP plugin uses with ABAP code as we saw earlier with Copilot in Ask mode.
If this is the case hopefully the team will know how to fix it relatively quickly due to their previous interactions with SAP.
Can someone please confirm?

[jdneo]

It's a known issue. ABAP so far is not supported in agent mode. We will investigate how to support it.

[vogella]

Under Ubuntu the chat view does sometimes not react to resizing, see screenshot. Closing and re-opening the view fixes this.
Maybe you are missing somewhere a requestLayout() call?

[vogella]

Also the error log fills with info messages even. Would be nice to avoid this for info message or to make this configurable.

[jdneo]

Those infos are printed by lsp4e.

There was a discussion here: eclipse-lsp4e/lsp4e#1233 about this behavior. Feel free to leave your thoughts there.

[vogella]

Also the used color for the Editing FILENAME is very hard to see in the dark theme.

FYI - You can extend the Eclipse dark theme with additional settings for your tooling, see https://github.com/eclipse-pde/eclipse.pde/blob/master/ui/org.eclipse.pde.ui/plugin.xml#L2336 for registration and https://github.com/eclipse-pde/eclipse.pde/blob/master/ui/org.eclipse.pde.ui/css/e4-dark_pde_prefstyle.css#L18 for a definition of different colors for the dark theme.

[jdneo]

Thank you.

Yes we are considering to apply css for different themes.

BTW, may I ask if the css approach in swt can configure the margins as well?

[vogella]

@jdneo layout margins can not be configured via CSS.

[jdneo]

Thank you!

I am trying to update from a custom Eclipse 2024-12 distribution (similar to JEE package).

[jdneo]

I guess it's because we introduced event bus which requires org.eclipse.e4.core.contexts.

Have you tried https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2024-09/202409111000/plugins/ ?

[jdneo]

Oops, I just found that the bundle requirement is incorrectly set in 0.6.0, 1.13.1 is from eclipse 25-03.

Does your ide contains org.eclipse.e4.core.contexts? what is the version of it?

[xrp857]

Problems with language server

Hi,
I have installed the latest plugins. Eclipse Version: 2025-03 (4.35.0) and Copilot 0.6.0.

Local with my smart client everything is working fine. In our development environment I face an issue and I don´t know why. Seems like a communication issue. In the smart client I can login GitHub Copilot and in the development environment it´s already always connected, but I can´t sign out.

Maybe you have a recommendation for me :-)

[jdneo]

It's a bundle that we use to search the node installation. In the case that your platform is not among the 5, this bundle is needed.

[xrp857]

Unfortunately I get the same error message after installing the new plugin. Ist there a special folder, where the Node.JS file must be stored?

[jdneo]

It will search several places. One common way is making sure node executable is on the PATH env variable.

Meanwhile, I see there are other errors:

What does the error mean?

[xrp857]

Now it works. The copilot language server.exe has needed a digital signature. This was done by our basis team this morning.
Thank you very much for all your help!!!

[jdneo]

Good to know, thanks for sharing!

[IndianPhotoAcademy]

It would be much easier to use if the mobile app's Discussions feature included search. Using the browser version where the search functions well is a temporary solution. Important threads can also be bookmarked in your mobile browser. I hope GitHub gives this top priority for upcoming updates to mobile apps.

[Christian-Vector]

Every request is getting "Oops, the token limit exceeded. Try to shorten your prompt or start a new conversation." in a large Codebase in agent mode. (Doesnt matter which model)
I see copilot sending a list of all files with name and path as workspaceFolders in the json payload.
Is there a way to optimize this through indexing or something?
Is the Edit Mode planned for Eclipse?
This could help limiting the context.

[jdneo]

I see copilot sending a list of all files with name and path as workspaceFolders in the json payload.

What is request name? Could you share this request? (You can redact the sensitive part of the request and just share its structure.)

[Christian-Vector]

I’ve found the root cause of the issue. It’s related to the fact that I’m working in a multi-module Eclipse project. For each opened module, Copilot sends the name and uri as an item in the workspaceFolders array within the request payload.

Closing unused modules in Eclipse reduces the number of workspaceFolders and helps avoid exceeding the token limit.

Thanks a lot @jdneo for the hard work you're putting into the Eclipse integration — it's really appreciated!

[jdneo]

Thank you for sharing this.

Yes, all the projects in the workspace will be treated as workspace folders. I see maybe we can potentially improve the logic here: like ignore the child project if it belongs to a parent project.

[Christian-Vector]

Thank you for the feedback.
Excluding child projects would indeed solve the issue on our side.
Do you think this is a quick fix that we could expect in one of the upcoming updates?

[melskalkee]

Hi,

I tried upgrading my Copilot plug in in STM32Cube IDE and getting below dependency error. Can someone pelase guide me on fixing the issue?

[melskalkee]

Thanks for your reply. That is evident from the error message. Anyway to resolve it?

[jdneo]

Regardless the version, does your ide contains org.eclipse.e4.core.contexts?

[melskalkee]

It used to work for earlier Copilot plug in v0.5. I just tried updating the plug in and got failed.

How to verify if org.eclipse.e4.core.contexts is installed?

[jdneo]

You can open

And then

[lathapatil]

Is the latest version of GitHub Copilot (0.6.0) compatible with Eclipse version 4.33 ? I tried but it asks to upgrade/ downgrade required plugin which eventually upgrades the Eclipse to 4.35 version.
Is there a workaround to use GitHub Copilot(0.6.0) with Eclipse 4.33 version ?

[melskalkee]

[jdneo]

In this dialog, try click

Remove all items named

Close all dialogs, and open Install new software again.

[totomomo18]

This plugin is a game changer have agent mode and Mcp in Eclipse is amazing :) but what is new the 0.6.1 version compared to 0.6.0 ?

[jdneo]

There are some dependency requirement not correctly declared in 0.6.0, causing users have to upgrade to 25-03 to use it. 0.6.1 fixes that issue so that 24-09 and above are all supported.

No feature-wise change between two versions.

Meanwhile, we are keeping fine tuning the experience of mcp and chat features, and will have some updates in June.

[totomomo18]

I really am thankful for this plugin thank you. May I just suggest a couple of future improvements. One improvement is if you can add at some point some kind screen to choose an Mcp servers to install sort of like a Mcp server market place screen that could be very helpful (Windsurf plugin in jetbrains have something like that) . The screen could have at least a couple of well known or most used Mcp servers like for examples Files Mcp server, Github Mcp server, Jira Mcp server or even Context7 Mcp server which alow use to add the most recent context to the Ai and give better answers. This screen of course will still have an option to enter a custom Mcp server with Json. Second improvement is if you can add the option to generate commit messages in the commit or git staging screen just like github4eclipse added. Third improvement is to add a Next Edit feature which is also in allot of other Ai plugins on other ides

[sven-hb]

The MCP Server support in Eclipse is really helpful, thank you!
I just have one question: Are there any plans to support additional transport types for the MCP servers, such as "http" and "sse" similar to what is available in VS Code, alongside "stdio"?
