CopilotKit Setup

Prerequisites

Live Documentation (MCP)

This plugin includes an MCP server (copilotkit-docs) that provides search-docs and search-code tools for querying live CopilotKit documentation and source code.

Claude Code: Auto-configured by the plugin's .mcp.json -- no setup needed.

Codex: Requires manual configuration. See the copilotkit-debug skill for setup instructions.

Environment

Before starting setup, verify:

Node.js >= 18 (required for fetch globals used by the runtime)

An AI provider API key (one of: OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, GOOGLE_API_KEY)

A React-based frontend (Next.js App Router, Next.js Pages Router, Vite + React, or Angular)

A backend capable of running the runtime (same Next.js app via API routes, or a standalone Express/Hono server)
