| 25 | +## Prerequisites |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +You may want to run a trial before enabling {% data variables.copilot.copilot_cloud_agent %} for the enterprise. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/tutorials/cloud-agent/pilot-cloud-agent). |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +## Enabling {% data variables.copilot.copilot_cloud_agent %} |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +{% data variables.copilot.copilot_cloud_agent %} and use of third-party MCP servers are disabled by default. You can enable these features for users who receive a {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} license from your enterprise or organizations. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +{% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.access-enterprise %} |
| 34 | +{% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.ai-controls-tab %} |
| 35 | +{% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.cca-policies %} |
| 36 | +1. Select a global policy for {% data variables.copilot.copilot_cloud_agent %}, then communicate your decision with your organizations. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | + >[!TIP] If you select **Enabled for selected organizations**, you can select individual organizations in the UI. To select organizations based on custom properties instead, use the REST API. See [AUTOTITLE](/rest/copilot/copilot-coding-agent-management#selecting-organizations-with-custom-properties). |
| 39 | +
|
| 40 | +1. By default, the agent will be available in all repositories in selected organizations. If there are repositories where {% data variables.copilot.copilot_cloud_agent %} should be blocked for all users, tell organization owners to configure this setting. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/how-tos/administer-copilot/manage-for-organization/add-copilot-cloud-agent#disabling-or-enabling-copilot-cloud-agent-in-your-repositories). |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +## Enabling MCP servers |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +{% data variables.copilot.copilot_cloud_agent %} automatically has access to a small number of default MCP servers. See [AUTOTITLE](/copilot/concepts/agents/cloud-agent/mcp-and-cloud-agent#default-mcp-servers). |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +You can enable third-party MCP servers to allow developers to integrate {% data variables.copilot.copilot_cloud_agent %} with other services in your DevOps toolchain, such as error-tracking platforms or logging systems. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +{% data reusables.enterprise-accounts.view-mcp-policies %} |
| 49 | +1. Set a policy for **MCP servers in {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}**. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +>[!NOTE] The "MCP Registry URL" and "Restrict MCP access to registry servers" policies do **not** apply to {% data variables.copilot.copilot_cloud_agent %}. |
