# Github Copilot CLI

> Terminal-based coding agent for editing files and running commands

GitHub Copilot CLI is a terminal-based AI coding agent that accepts natural language instructions, edits files, runs shell commands, and connects to MCP servers. It defaults to Claude Sonnet 4 but supports multiple models, and is billed through existing GitHub Copilot subscription plans. It targets developers who want an agentic coding assistant directly in their terminal workflow.
