There’s a lot of noise right now making it seem like you have to pick a side between MCP and Agent Skills. It’s being framed like a high-stakes rivalry, but that’s a total misunderstanding of the tech. Skills and MCP is fundamentally different things. Skills are just a prompt loaded on demand, while MCP is […] The post MCP vs Agent Skills: Different Altogether appeared first on Analytics Vidhya.

Visual Studio Code 1.115, the latest release of the Microsoft’s extensible code editor, previews a companion app called Visual Studio Code Agents, optimized for agent-native development. Additionally, the agent experience in the editor is improved for running terminal commands in the background, according to Microsoft. Introduced April 8, Visual Studio Code 1.115 can be downloaded from the Visual Studio Code website for Windows, Mac, or Linux. Available as a Visual Code Insiders early access capability, the VS Code Agents app allows developers to run agentic tasks across projects, by kicking off multiple agent sessions across multiple repos in parallel. Developers can track session progress, view diffs inline, leave feedback for agents, and create pull requests without leaving the app, Microsoft said. Additionally, custom instructions, prompt files, custom agents, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, hooks, and plugins all work in the Agents app, along with VS Code customizations suc
