Visual Studio Code
The open source AI code editor for multi-agent development

Visual Studio Code is a free, open-source code editor by Microsoft that runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It integrates GitHub Copilot and supports multi-agent AI workflows, allowing developers to delegate coding tasks to autonomous agents while also providing a rich manual coding experience. The editor supports virtually all major programming languages and is highly extensible via a marketplace of plugins and MCP servers.
VS Code provides an editor with built-in AI agent support via GitHub Copilot and third-party models, letting agents autonomously plan, edit code, run commands, and open pull requests while developers monitor sessions from a unified view.
