diegosouzapw/OmniCopilot
A VS Code extension that puts 1200+ AI models into GitHub Copilot Chat without needing a Copilot subscription
OmniCopilot is a VS Code extension that connects to a server called OmniRoute to pull in 1200+ models from 340+ providers — including Kimi, Claude, GPT, Gemini, GLM, DeepSeek and Qwen — directly into the existing Copilot Chat model picker. Over 90 of those providers offer free tiers, and since VS Code 1.122 these models work without any GitHub sign-in or Copilot plan. The project is MIT-licensed and has 16 stars on GitHub.
What it does
- Adds OmniRoute's models straight into the model picker of the Copilot Chat you already use, with no new sidebar or UI to learn
- Plugs into VS Code's native language-model provider API, so agent mode, tool calling, MCP (a protocol for connecting AI to external tools) and vision support for image attachments keep working
- Choosing an OmniRoute 'combo' (priority, round-robin, cost-optimized) gives automatic failover across providers behind one model entry
- The API key is stored in the OS keychain via VS Code's SecretStorage rather than in a plain settings file
- One command configures other coding tools — Codex CLI, Claude Code, Cline, Continue, Cursor, Aider — to use OmniRoute as well
Why it matters
It gives developers without a paid Copilot plan, or who don't want to be locked into one model, a way to try many AI models — including free-tier ones — inside the editor workflow they already use. That's a practical option for teams experimenting with models or trying to cut costs.
