Microsoft's 50th anniversary celebration saw GitHub roll out agent mode with MCP support to all VS Code users. The new GitHub Copilot Pro+ plan includes premium requests, the general availability of models from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI, next edit suggestions for code completions, and the Copilot code review agent. The model can handle tasks like understanding database schema or querying the web. GitHub's MCP is now available in public preview, allowing developers to equip agent mode with the context and capabilities it needs.
