README

copilot-setup

A Textual TUI dashboard for viewing and managing your GitHub Copilot CLI configuration. Browse MCP servers, plugins, skills, agents, settings, and more — toggle, upgrade, and remove plugins or MCP servers without leaving the terminal.

Installation

Install as an isolated CLI tool with [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (recommended):

uv tool install copilot-setup

Or run directly without installing:

uvx copilot-setup

For **development** from a local clone:

git clone https://github.com/ericchansen/copilot-setup.git
cd copilot-setup
uv tool install -e .           # editable install
uv tool install ruff pytest    # dev tools

The `-e` flag enables editable mode — code changes are reflected immediately without reinstalling.

Requires Python ≥ 3.10.

**Why `uv tool install` over `pip install`?** Global pip pollutes your system Python and causes version conflicts. `uv tool install` gives each tool its own isolated venv (like `pipx`, but faster). If you previously installed with `pip install copilot-setup`, clean it up with `pip uninstall copilot-setup` then reinstall via uv.

Usage

copilot-setup           # Launch the TUI dashboard
copilot-setup doctor    # Probe MCP server health

**11 tabs** · **Instant filter** (`/`) · **Detail pane** · **Plugin management** · **Doctor health probes**
