• Microsoft/Copilot IDE parity: new r/GithubCopilot complaints say Visual Studio 2026 custom agents still cannot access ask_question or run_subagent, leaving VS Code ahead on agent tooling.

• Microsoft/Copilot tooling: a new Showcase post describes an MCP server that syncs context, schemas, and chat summaries across Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Windsurf so switching IDEs does not wipe agent memory; repo: https://github.com/subhenduMalakar/ai-multi-ide-context-sync-mcp-public ; Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/GithubCopilot/comments/1u2e5lm/i_built_an_mcp_server_to_sync_ai_memory_across/
