You’re not limited to the official language support. There are community releases of the SDK for Java, Rust, C++, and Clojure, so you can work with familiar languages and frameworks. As they’re not official releases, they may not be coordinated with GitHub’s own SDKs and won’t have the same level of support.
Working in the Microsoft Agent Framework
Usefully, the Microsoft Agent Framework now supports the GitHub Copilot SDK, so you can integrate and orchestrate its agents with ones built from other tools and frameworks, such as Fabric or Azure OpenAI. This lets you build complex AI-powered applications from proven components, using Agent Framework to orchestrate workflow across multiple agents. You’re not limited to a single LLM, either. It’s possible to work with ChatGPT in one agent and Claude in another.
Tools like the GitHub Copilot SDK are a useful way to experiment with agent development, taking the workflows you’ve built inside GitHub and Visual Studio Code and turning them into their own MCP-powered applications. Once you’ve built a fleet of different single-purpose agents, you can chain them together using higher-level orchestration frameworks, thereby automating workflows that bring in information from across your business and your application development life cycle.
