Signal + Copilot integration
Connect Signal to Copilot
ConnectChats brings your Signal chats into Copilot. Ask Copilot to catch you up, find any message and draft replies. Nothing gets sent until you approve it.
Free to start. No app to install. Every send needs your OK.
What Copilot can do with your Signal
ConnectChats gives Copilot a small set of tools. Copilot calls them when you ask about your Signal chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and Copilot reads your unread Signal chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.
get_messages_to_summarize -
Find any message
The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Copilot searches your Signal history and quotes the message.
search_messages -
Draft replies
Copilot writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.
draft_reply -
Send with your OK
When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own Signal account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

-
Add ConnectChats to Copilot
- In VS Code, open the Command Palette, run MCP: Add Server, choose HTTP and paste https://api.connectchats.com/mcp.
- Name the server connectchats. Copilot opens the ConnectChats sign-in page, where you sign in with your passkey.
- Your shared chats are then available when you ask Copilot about your messages in agent mode.
-
Link your Signal account
- Open https://connectchats.com/app and choose Link a chat app, then Signal.
- On your phone, open Signal, go to Settings, then Linked devices, and tap Link a new device.
- Scan the QR code shown in ConnectChats.
- Your chats then appear in the dashboard, where you choose which ones your AI app can see.
-
Pick the chats Copilot can see
Every chat is listed in your ConnectChats dashboard. Share all of them or only the ones you choose. Copilot never sees the rest.
-
Ask Copilot about your Signal
Open a new conversation in Copilot and ask about your chats. Copilot calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How Signal and Copilot work together
ConnectChats links to your Signal account as a linked device, the same way Signal Desktop does, and brings in the chats you choose. Your phone stays your main device, and you can unlink ConnectChats from it at any time.
-
Signal in ConnectChats
One to one chats and groups are supported. Signal gives a newly linked device little or no past history, so most chats start from the moment you link. Messages are decrypted on our server so your AI app can read them, then stored encrypted with a key only your passkey can unlock. Photos, videos and voice notes show up as short text descriptions, with their captions.
-
ConnectChats in Copilot
ConnectChats works with GitHub Copilot in VS Code and with Copilot Studio agents, which can both add a remote MCP server. The consumer Copilot app for Windows, the web and your phone does not offer a setting to add your own MCP server. In VS Code, GitHub Copilot adds a remote MCP server with the MCP: Add Server command. In Copilot Studio, makers add MCP servers to an agent under Tools, Add a tool, Model Context Protocol. It needs a work account and the right licences. The same ConnectChats account works in every AI app, so the chats you already linked are available in Copilot without linking them again. The consumer Copilot app has no setting for your own MCP servers, so use ConnectChats through GitHub Copilot in VS Code or a Copilot Studio agent.
Your Signal stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Copilot only sees the Signal chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
Copilot prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches Signal, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.
-
Stored messages are encrypted
Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
Questions
Can Copilot read my Signal messages?
Yes, once you link Signal in ConnectChats and add ConnectChats to Copilot. Copilot reads only the chats you share, and only when you ask it something that needs them.
Can Copilot send Signal messages for me?
Copilot can draft a reply and send it after you approve it. Messages go out from your own Signal account. You can allow automatic sending for specific chats, and it stays off everywhere else.
Is the Signal to Copilot integration free?
Yes. The free plan links two chat apps and works in every supported AI app, with no limit on what you ask. No card needed.
Do I need to install anything?
No. You add ConnectChats inside Copilot and link Signal from your browser. There is no app to download and nothing runs on your computer.
Does it work with other AI apps too?
Yes. The same ConnectChats account works in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Manus, Muse and any AI app that supports remote MCP servers. Link Signal once and use it everywhere.
Does linking ConnectChats weaken Signal's encryption?
Signal still encrypts messages on their way to every device, including ConnectChats. ConnectChats is one of those devices, so it can read the messages it receives. It then stores them encrypted with a key only your passkey can unlock. If you want a chat to stay out of it, do not share it, or do not link Signal.
Will I see my old Signal messages?
Mostly not. Signal shares little or no history with a newly linked device, so expect messages from the moment you link onward.
What do I need to link Signal?
Only Signal on your phone. Open https://connectchats.com/app, choose Signal, then scan the QR code from Settings, Linked devices, Link a new device in Signal.
Can I use ConnectChats in Microsoft Copilot today?
Yes, through GitHub Copilot in VS Code, which adds ConnectChats with the MCP: Add Server command, and through Copilot Studio agents. The Copilot app for Windows, the web and your phone has no setting to add your own MCP server.
Will it work with Slack messages?
Slack is a separate chat app in ConnectChats. Copilot sees Slack chats only when you link Slack in ConnectChats and share those chats, the same as any other chat app.
