GitHub Copilot Agent Pipe for OpenWebUI

This is a GitHub Copilot SDK Pipe for OpenWebUI with Agent Team coordination, Session Modes (autopilot/interactive/plan), autonomous Web Search, Context Compaction, and reuse of your OpenWebUI Tools, MCP servers, and Skills.

[!IMPORTANT] Essential Companion To let Copilot directly process uploaded files instead of OpenWebUI's default RAG parsing, you must install the GitHub Copilot SDK Files Filter.

[!TIP] No Subscription Required for BYOK If you are using your own API keys (BYOK mode with OpenAI/Anthropic), you do NOT need a GitHub Copilot subscription. A subscription is only required to access GitHub's official models.

Install with Batch Install Plugins

If you already use Batch Install Plugins from GitHub , you can install or update this plugin with:

Install plugin from Fu-Jie/openwebui-extensions

When the selection dialog opens, search for this plugin, check it, and continue.

[!IMPORTANT] If the official OpenWebUI Community version is already installed, remove it first. After that, Batch Install Plugins can keep this plugin updated in future runs.

✨ v0.13.1: OpenWebUI 0.9.x Compatibility

• 🔌 OpenWebUI 0.9.x Dual Compatibility (Critical): All OpenWebUI model/config/tool APIs (Files.get_file_by_id, Files.insert_new_file, Users.get_user_by_id, Tools.get_tools_by_user_id, Tools.get_tool_by_id, Models.get_model_by_id, get_config, get_all_models, get_openwebui_tools, get_builtin_tools, search_models) now transparently support both the sync interface (pre-0.9) and the new async interface (0.9.x). No version branching required; the plugin auto-detects and adapts.
• 🚀 Internal Methods Promoted to Async: _read_tool_server_connections, _build_openwebui_request, and _parse_mcp_servers are now async def, eliminating the thread-offload pattern that would have broken under 0.9.x async model methods.
• 🛡️ Sync-Safe Valve Options: Valves and UserValves option providers (sync classmethods) now use a compatibility wrapper so search_models calls remain safe in both sync and async contexts.
• 🐛 File Publish Path Fixed: publish_file_from_workspace now uses a typed compatibility layer instead of raw asyncio.to_thread, resolving a silent crash when Files methods became coroutines in 0.9.x.

[!IMPORTANT] If the plugin shows errors after an update, restart your OpenWebUI server. The plugin is cached in memory and old bytecode may cause import errors. Restarting clears the cache and loads the fresh version.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Install via Batch Install Plugins → select this plugin
2. Configure a credential: GH_TOKEN (GitHub Copilot) or BYOK_API_KEY (OpenAI/Anthropic)
3. Start chatting — select this Pipe's model and ask naturally

Companion Files Filter lets Copilot directly process uploaded files instead of OpenWebUI's default RAG parsing. Install from here.

🧭 How to Use

Just describe what you want. No need to mention tools or internal parameters.

✨ Key Capabilities

🧩 Companion Files Filter

Lets Copilot directly process uploaded files (Excel, CSV, images) instead of OpenWebUI's default RAG parsing.

Install: GitHub Copilot SDK Files Filter

⚙️ Core Configuration (Valves)

Configure credentials (choose one or both):

💡 Both at once: You can configure both GH_TOKEN and BYOK_API_KEY — the model list will show models from both.

Other valves are optional. See the full list on GitHub.

Get Token

1. Visit github.com/settings/tokens?type=beta
2. Create a Fine-grained token with Account permissions → Copilot Requests access
3. Paste the token into the GH_TOKEN field

⭐ Support

If this plugin has been useful, a Star on OpenWebUI Extensions would be a great motivation for me. Thank you!

Troubleshooting

• Agent ignores uploaded files? → Install the Files Filter so Copilot can process them directly (see above)
• Errors after update? → Restart your OpenWebUI server to clear cached bytecode
