Copilot Proxy v1.0.0

Release Date: 2026-03-13

Copilot Proxy is a self-hosted Python proxy that converts the GitHub Copilot API into an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Use Claude, GPT, Gemini and more through your existing Copilot subscription in any OpenAI-compatible client — bypassing model restrictions on Education and Free plans.

✨ Features

Authentication

• OAuth Device Flow — First-run guided GitHub authorization, no manual token copying required
• Token Persistence — GitHub token saved locally in .copilot_token.json, automatically restored on next launch
• Auto Token Refresh — Background thread refreshes the Copilot token every 25 minutes, zero intervention needed

Proxy

• OpenAI-Compatible API — Standard OpenAI API format (/chat/completions), works with any compatible client
• Streaming Support — Full support for streaming responses (stream: true)
• Request Forwarding — Transparently forwards requests to api.individual.githubcopilot.com with valid credentials
• Health Check Endpoint — GET / returns current proxy status and token readiness
• Error Handling — Proper HTTP error codes (502, 503, 504) with descriptive messages
