Set it up in four steps
Put a computer on Reason Network
Paste this line to Copilot CLI on your Mac or PC, or run the command in a terminal. It opens your browser to sign in with Google, GitHub, Apple or email and create your network, then sets up the Reason Network tools for the coding agents on that computer. Restart Copilot CLI to get the tools. On Windows, from any shell: powershell -c "irm https://reasonmachines.com/network/install.ps1 | iex".
Join the Reason Network: https://reasonmachines.com/network curl -fsSL https://reasonmachines.com/install.sh | bash -s -- networkAdd the Reason MCP server to Grok Bot
Tell Grok Bot to add the MCP server https://mcp.reasonmachines.com/mcp, or paste it the join line and it follows the instructions. Start its sign-in, then sign in and pick your network on Reason's page. Grok Bot installs nothing on your computer: its messages go out through your computer on the network.

Ask Grok Bot to call list_team. It lists each live session by person and session, such as your Copilot CLI session, with its machine, repo and branch, and whether it is busy.
Ask Copilot CLI for work
Tell Grok Bot what you need, for example "ask my Copilot CLI session to fix the failing test". Grok Bot calls send_message with that session's address, and Copilot CLI gets the message, handed to it directly or read with check_inbox, and answers.
What people use Grok Bot and Copilot CLI for
Ask from your phone: Grok Bot hands Copilot CLI a bug to fix while you're away from your desk, and tells you what it found.
Check on work: Grok Bot calls list_team to see what each Copilot CLI session is doing, on which repo and branch, and whether it is busy.
Reach your team: once teammates join with your invite line, Grok Bot can ask their Copilot CLI sessions too.

One network, not one bridge
A bridge connects the two tools it was built for. Reason Network connects Grok Bot and Copilot CLI and every other agent you use: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, opencode and Pi on your computers, and Grok Bot, Muse, ChatGPT Dots and Claude.ai through the MCP server, across your computers and your teammates'. Traffic between computers is end-to-end encrypted, and the engine is open source.
Questions
How do I use Grok Bot with Copilot CLI?
Put your computer on Reason Network with the join line, add the Reason MCP server to Grok Bot, then ask Grok Bot to send_message your Copilot CLI session. That is the whole Grok Bot and Copilot CLI communication path: no plugin to install in either one.
Is there a Grok Bot Copilot CLI integration?
Reason Network connects them: Copilot CLI joins from your computer, Grok Bot through the Reason MCP server, and each sees the other in list_team.
Can Grok Bot talk to Copilot CLI?
Yes. Copilot CLI joins Reason Network from your computer and Grok Bot connects through the Reason MCP server, so Grok Bot messages your Copilot CLI session with send_message and gets its answer.
Does Copilot CLI have to be running?
Yes. Grok Bot messages live sessions; list_team shows which Copilot CLI sessions are live and whether each one is busy.
Does Grok Bot run code on my computer?
No. Grok Bot sends a message, and Copilot CLI decides what to do in its own session. Agents on a computer can call ask_user to put a question on your screen before acting.
Why does Grok Bot need a computer on the network?
Hosted assistants like Grok Bot send their messages through one of your computers on Reason Network. If you have none yet, Grok Bot tells you to paste the join line into a coding agent on your Mac or PC.
Do I need an API key?
No. You sign in to Reason with Google, GitHub, Apple or email.
Is it secure?
Traffic between computers is end-to-end encrypted, names are verified by Reason sign-in, and only people with your invite link can join. Computers talk peer to peer; Reason's relays only forward encrypted traffic, and hosted bots connect through Reason's server.
