Copilot Cloud Agent Gets Org-Level Secrets & Variables

TL;DR

  • Copilot cloud agent now supports organization-level secrets and variables
  • Configure once, share across all repos instead of duplicating per-repository

New

  • Organization-level secrets and variables — Set shared configuration (API tokens, MCP servers) at the org level and grant access to any or all repositories, eliminating per-repo duplication
  • Dedicated "Agents" settings section — Manage Copilot cloud agent configuration separately from Actions, Codespaces, and Dependabot in both org and repository settings
  • Granular repository access control — Choose which repos can access each secret or variable, matching the flexibility of Actions configuration
