GitHub Copilot in VS Code can run through Edgee for token compression and full observability over every session. The Edgee CLI starts a local relay and opens VS Code routed through it, no manual configuration.
1

Install the Edgee CLI

2

Launch VS Code Copilot through Edgee

The CLI authenticates, starts a local Edgee relay, and opens VS Code routed through it. Token compression is enabled automatically.
VS Code must already be installed. Insiders builds are detected too.
After the session ends, the CLI prints a link to view token usage, compression savings, and cost breakdown in the Edgee Console.

​
Launch from your app menu

Install a desktop wrapper once, then open VS Code Copilot (Edgee) like any other app:
The wrapper appears in ~/Applications (macOS), your app menu (Linux), or the Start Menu (Windows). It is installed only when VS Code is present. See the Edgee CLI page for the full alias reference.

Benefits

Cost reduction

Edgee’s token compression reduces the tokens sent to and from the model, with no change to output quality.

Observability

Every request is logged in the Edgee Console with token counts, latency, and cost breakdowns.

Reliability

Automatic retry and fallback across providers keeps your sessions running even when a provider has issues.

One command

No base URL or API key to paste into settings, the CLI wires everything up.
