GitHub Shifts to Anthropic's MCP, Microsoft Enhances Copilot Search
Description
In this episode, we dive into GitHub's significant transition away from Copilot Extensions to Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP), positioned as a "USB-C for AI tools" that creates a universal standard across AI ecosystems. We also explore Microsoft's new "Search in Copilot" feature introducing larger, clickable citations and aggregated sources to improve information trust and publisher visibility. Additionally, we discuss GitHub's retirement of their GraphQL Explorer tool due to increasing technical debt, forcing developers to adopt alternative testing methods for API interactions. These three developments highlight the strategic evolution of developer tools and AI assistants in today's tech landscape.
