GitHub Copilot as OpenAI-compatible APIs

Coxy is a lightweight proxy that lets you use your free GitHub Copilot quota with any OpenAI-compatible client, freeing the power of modern LLMs from your VS Code editor.

Get Started

Why Coxy?

You have a lot of free quota on GitHub Copilot, you want to use it like OpenAI-compatible APIs.

You want the computing power of GitHub Copilot beyond VS Code.

You want to use modern models like gpt-4.1 free.

You have multiple GitHub accounts and the free quota is just wasted.

Host LLM locally and leave the computing remotely.
