X++ Copillot is now coming with AI Copilot, in Visual Studio. A Visual Studio 2022 extension (VSIX) combined with a Microsoft Copilot Plugin (MCP) server that equips GitHub Copilot with full Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365FO) X++ awareness.
This solution bridges the gap between AI code assistance and the specialized X++ language + D365FO MetaModel API, enabling developers to work with Copilot as if it were a native D365FO expert; simply install the following VSIX, and start leveraging the code geneation capabilities.

How to enable the same?

Grab and install the VSIX from the following GitHub URL: https://github.com/nazmolla/XppAiCopilotCompanion/releases, along with the source code.

The package in its all new avatar is supporting a panoramic range of objects:
