The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is now in public preview, enabling developers to integrate various tools and services into their coding environment for a more seamless experience. GitHub is also expanding its premium offerings with new models and premium request types for Copilot users, while celebrating Microsoft's 50th anniversary and its commitment to fostering a world with one billion developers.
