OpenAI Copilot is a command-line interface client that acts as a powerful copilot powered by large language models (LLMs) with full Model Context Protocol (MCP) support. It integrates seamlessly with multiple LLM providers including OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and Google Gemini, enabling users to access advanced AI capabilities directly from the terminal. The copilot supports web access and Google search without leaving the CLI, and can automatically execute multi-step instructions predicted from prompts. Designed for developers and power users, it bridges external tools via MCP, enhancing productivity and workflow automation in a secure, extensible manner.

Ollama or other OpenAI compatible LLMs

For Ollama or other OpenAI compatible LLMs, set the following environment variables:

  • OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
  • OPENAI_API_BASE='http://localhost:11434/v1' (or your own base URL)

How to use

Setup the OpenAI or AzureOpenAI environment and then run the following openai-copilot command:

# You can optionally config a different model and
# enable MCP integration (MCP format is same as Claude Desktop)
openai-copilot [-m gpt-4o] [-c <mcp-config-file>]

Here is the full usage of the openai-copilot command:

OpenAI Copilot

Interactive mode

Here is a conversation sample (user inputs are after You:)):

$ openai-copilot --verbose=false
You: What is OpenAI?
AI: OpenAI is an artificial intelligence research lab, which includes a for-profit arm, OpenAI LP, and its parent company, the non-profit OpenAI Inc. Their mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI) benefits all of humanity. They aim to build safe and beneficial AGI, and are also committed to aiding others in achieving this outcome.
