Copilot

Copilot is your in-editor assistant that helps you build and edit workflows. It can:

• Explain: Answer questions about Recall and your current workflow
• Guide: Suggest edits and best practices
• Build: Add blocks, wire connections, and configure settings
• Debug: Analyze execution issues and optimize performance

Modes

Switch between modes using the mode selector at the bottom of the input area.

Models

Select your preferred AI model using the model selector at the bottom right of the input area.

Available Models:

• Claude 4.6 Opus (default), 4.5 Opus, Sonnet, Haiku
• GPT 5.2 Codex, Pro
• Gemini 3 Pro

Choose based on your needs: faster models for simple tasks, more capable models for complex workflows.

Context Menu (@)

Use the @ symbol to reference resources and give Copilot more context:

Type @ in the input field to open the context menu, then search or browse to find what you need.

Slash Commands (/)

Use slash commands for quick actions:

Web Commands:

Type / in the input field to see available commands.

Chat Management

Starting a New Chat

Click the + button in the Copilot header to start a fresh conversation.

Chat History

Click History to view previous conversations grouped by date. You can:

• Click a chat to resume it
• Delete chats you no longer need

Editing Messages

Hover over any of your messages and click Edit to modify and resend it. This is useful for refining your prompts.

Message Queue

If you send a message while Copilot is still responding, it gets queued. You can:

• View queued messages in the expandable queue panel
• Send a queued message immediately (aborts current response)
• Remove messages from the queue

Folders

Group chats into folders to keep the sidebar tidy.

Create a folder — Click the + menu next to "All chats" in the sidebar, then Create folder. Give it a name and (optionally) a color.

Move a chat into a folder — Drag the chat from the root list onto a folder, or right-click the chat and choose Move to folder.

Move a chat back to the root — Drag it onto the empty space below the chat list (the root drop zone), or right-click and choose Move to root.

Reorder — Drag chats inside a folder to reorder them. Drag folders themselves to reorder the tree.

Rename / recolor / delete — Right-click a folder for the context menu. Deleting a folder cascades: every chat inside it (and any nested folders) is deleted along with it. The dialog warns you and asks for confirmation.

Expand / collapse — Click a folder header to toggle it open or closed. Expansion state is saved per browser, so refreshing keeps your sidebar layout.

File Attachments

Click the attachment icon to upload files with your message. Supported file types include:

• Images (preview thumbnails shown)
• PDFs
• Text files, JSON, XML
• Other document formats

Files are displayed as clickable thumbnails that open in a new tab.

Checkpoints & Changes

When Copilot makes changes to your workflow, it saves checkpoints so you can revert if needed.

Viewing Checkpoints

Hover over a Copilot message and click the checkpoints icon to see saved workflow states for that message.

Reverting Changes

Click Revert on any checkpoint to restore your workflow to that state. A confirmation dialog will warn that this action cannot be undone.

Accepting Changes

When Copilot proposes changes, you can:

• Accept: Apply the proposed changes (Mod+Shift+Enter)
• Reject: Dismiss the changes and keep your current workflow

Thinking Blocks

For complex requests, Copilot may show its reasoning process in expandable thinking blocks:

• Blocks auto-expand while Copilot is thinking
• Click to manually expand/collapse
• Shows duration of the thinking process
• Helps you understand how Copilot arrived at its solution

Options Selection

When Copilot presents multiple options, you can select using:

Selected options are highlighted; unselected options appear struck through.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Usage Limits

Copilot usage is billed per token from the underlying LLM and counts toward your plan's credit usage. If you reach your usage limit, enable on-demand billing from Settings → Subscription to continue using Copilot beyond your plan's included credits.

Copilot MCP

You can use Copilot as an MCP server in your favorite editor or AI client. This lets you build, test, deploy, and manage Recall workflows directly from tools like Cursor, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and VS Code.

Generating a Copilot API Key

To connect to the Copilot MCP server, you need a Copilot API key:

1. Go to tryrecall.com and sign in
2. Navigate to Settings → Copilot
3. Click Generate API Key
4. Copy the key — it is only shown once

The key will look like sk-recall-.... You will use this in the configuration below.

Cursor

Add the following to your .cursor/mcp.json (project-level) or global Cursor MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "recall-copilot": {
      "url": "https://tryrecall.com/api/mcp/copilot",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_COPILOT_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_COPILOT_API_KEY with the key you generated above.

Claude Code

Run the following command to add the Copilot MCP server:

claude mcp add recall-copilot \
  --transport http \
  https://tryrecall.com/api/mcp/copilot \
  --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_COPILOT_API_KEY"

Replace YOUR_COPILOT_API_KEY with your key.

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop requires mcp-remote to connect to HTTP-based MCP servers. Add the following to your Claude Desktop config file (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "recall-copilot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://tryrecall.com/api/mcp/copilot",
        "--header",
        "X-API-Key: YOUR_COPILOT_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_COPILOT_API_KEY with your key.

VS Code

Add the following to your VS Code settings.json or workspace .vscode/settings.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "recall-copilot": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://tryrecall.com/api/mcp/copilot",
        "headers": {
          "X-API-Key": "YOUR_COPILOT_API_KEY"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_COPILOT_API_KEY with your key.
