Highlights

This week focused on making development and device workflows smoother and more predictable across VS Code and the CLI. Improvements to chat rendering and input keep conversations and code output easy to act on, while expanded debug tooling and serial console behavior make hardware workflows more resilient and faster to recover. New integrations make it easier to extend the agent with external servers and reusable skills.

​
New features

​
MCP integrations and skill loading

You can manage MCP servers from the CLI and extension using the new marketplace UI and /mcp command, including OAuth flows and server catalog views to add and inspect external model context servers. A new skills discovery and loadSkill tool lets the agent load specialized workflows from local skill directories so you can extend agent behavior with companion files and predefined workflows on demand.
Add an MCP Server dialog showing searchable list of available servers including Asana, Atlassian, Firecrawl, GitHub, Linear, and Notion
