Microsoft released Visual Studio Code version 1.107 with new features focused on Agent HQ, a multi-agent orchestration interface introduced in version 1.106. In version 1.107, background agents are promoted beyond pure CLI-based sessions: they run as named background tasks with isolated worktrees and richer context attachment, and appear as manageable sessions in the Agent HQ experience (the integrated Chat + sessions UI), rather than existing only as Copilot CLI or cloud sessions.

Microsoft has released the Azure DevOps local MCP Server as generally available, transitioning from public preview to production-ready status. The server enables AI assistants to access Azure DevOps data, including work items, pull requests, test plans, builds, and wikis. This allows IT professionals to automate DevOps workflows through natural language commands while maintaining data security within their local network.
