AI Integrations

AI coding agents

Deploy to Buddy with your favorite AI coding agents - pipelines, sandboxes, domains and logs from your terminal or editor.
Buddy's Remote MCP Server is available.

GitHub Copilot + Buddy

GitHub Copilot is GitHub's AI pair programmer, available in your editor and across GitHub. In agent mode it works with the full context of your project - reading across the codebase, running commands, editing files, and opening pull requests. Paired with Buddy, it deploys your project, triggers and monitors pipelines, ships changes across environments, and digs through build output when something needs fixing.

Copilot's agent mode goes past inline suggestions: it runs commands and opens pull requests, so Buddy usually enters right after the PR. From there the agent can trigger the pipeline that validates its own change and read the logs when it fails.

Info
This page is a quick overview. For the full walkthrough - including MCP setup - see the GitHub Copilot docs. You can also run agents in a fully isolated Buddy sandbox or as a pipeline action.

Quick start

1 Install the Buddy CLI
npm install -g bdy

3 Link your project
bdy proj link

4 Install the Buddy skill
npx skills add buddy/buddy-plugin

5 Start Copilot
copilot

Open Copilot agent mode in your editor, or launch the GitHub Copilot CLI. The Buddy skill teaches the agent how to drive Buddy through the CLI.

Example prompts

  • “Create a Next.js app and deploy it to production”
  • “Deploy my app, set up a CDN, and buy and configure a domain with SSL”
  • “Check the last few CI pipeline runs for failures, read the logs, and fix the failing tests”
  • “Check my app logs and open issues based on what you find”

Available commands

Available commands
bdy proj link
Link the current directory with a project in Buddy. See bdy project.
bdy sandbox
Create, start and manage on-demand sandboxes with apps, endpoints and snapshots.
bdy pipeline
Create, run and inspect pipelines and their runs.
bdy tunnel
Expose a locally running app to the internet over HTTP, TCP or TLS. See bdy tunnel.
bdy artifact
Publish, download and version build artifacts, including static sites.
bdy domain
Search, buy and manage domains used in distribution routes.

Connect MCP

Buddy's remote MCP server exposes over 90 tools, so Copilot can run pipelines, manage deployments, and read logs straight through the API:

bash
copilot mcp add --transport http buddy https://mcp.buddy.works/mcp
$

You can also add it to ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json by hand. Point it at the endpoint closest to your workspace region - mcp.buddy.works, mcp.eu.buddy.works or mcp.asia.buddy.works - and use the ?tools= parameter to narrow the exposed tool categories.
