GitHub Copilot for JetBrains、OpenTelemetry設定とモデル管理を改善

This update brings more control and clarity to your GitHub Copilot for JetBrains workflows. You can now connect MCP servers and custom agents in Claude agent flows, tune telemetry and token settings for advanced scenarios, and work with a cleaner chat and model-selection experience.

What’s new

OpenTelemetry export for agent workflows

You can now configure OpenTelemetry export settings for agent workflows. This makes it easier to align plugin behavior with your organization’s requirements for observability. You can configure this under Settings > Tools > GitHub Copilot > Chat.

More control over model behavior

You can now set default token limits, including maxInputToken and maxOutputToken, for BYOK and custom endpoints. You can also disable or enable all built-in Copilot models from model-management controls.

These options make it easier to align plugin behavior with your organization’s requirements for cost control and model governance.

MCP servers and custom agents in Claude agent flows

You can now use MCP servers and custom agents directly in Claude agent flows. This gives you more flexibility when you need specialized tools, custom instructions, or team-specific workflows in your IDE.

If you rely on shared agent setups across projects, this update helps you keep your flow consistent while still adapting to repository-specific needs.

More Copilot CLI session capabilities

Copilot CLI sessions now support forks, include the /rubber-duck command, and show a todo list in the harness. These additions help you break down work, reason through implementation ideas, and keep progress visible while you iterate.

Cost efficiency

For enterprise users, we now display the number of AI credits consumed when their organization has not configured a user-level budget. For more information, see our docs about user-level budgets.

User experience enhancements

We are also enhancing day-to-day experience across chat, inline chat, and model selection.

Model and action picker: Improved consistency so controls are easier to predict and use.

Customization flows: Improved usability so creating and managing setup details takes less effort.

Session prompts: Improved clarity by rendering ask-user questions as Markdown and adding explicit user-attention notifications.

Inline chat and model picker layout: Improved layout behavior for cleaner interactions.

MCP diagnostics: Improved diagnostics to help you understand configuration and runtime issues faster.

URL rendering in Copilot CLI harness: Improved bare URL display for better readability in chat output.

Quality improvements

This release also improves path handling and session recording. Copilot CLI now preserves path capitalization more reliably in working sets and snapshots on macOS and Linux.
