GitHub has announced that the Customize tab inside the GitHub Copilot app is now generally available, giving teams a unified place to tailor Copilot to the tools and workflows they already use.

Details

  • What it is: The Customize tab consolidates MCP servers, plugins, skills, and canvases into a single interface within the GitHub Copilot app
  • Discovery features: Users can browse featured customizations curated from each category, and find MCP servers faster by exploring trending options or browsing by category
  • Canvases: Featured canvases are designed to help teams move from planning straight into execution — for example, an Azure DevOps canvas lets users triage issues, prioritize backlogs, assign follow-ups, and hand work directly to Copilot
  • Example integrations shown: The announcement’s screenshots highlight customizations for Figma, Impeccable Design, and Microsoft Foundry
  • Availability: General availability, with no preview phase mentioned and no specific pricing-tier restriction called out
  • How to access it: Open the GitHub Copilot app and select the Customize tab

How to try it

  • Open (or install) the GitHub Copilot app
  • Select the Customize tab
  • Browse featured MCP servers, plugins, skills, and canvases, or search by category to find integrations relevant to your team’s stack
  • Try a featured canvas, such as the Azure DevOps canvas, to move work from planning to execution without leaving Copilot
