Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.101.1, addressing several security issues. Key highlights include expanding agent coding flow with support for prompts, resources, and sampling; accessing MCP servers that require authentication; debugging MCP servers with development mode; and publishing MCP servers from an extension. Chat tool sets can be defined through an API or UI, making it easier to group and manage related tools. MCP support for prompts is now available, allowing MCP servers to generate reusable snippets or tasks for the language model. Resources are now supported, including resource templates, and sampling is now experimental. MCP servers that require authentication can now be managed, and development mode can be enabled by adding a dev key to the server config. The update also introduces the command Authentication: Remove Dynamic Authentication Providers to clean up dynamic client registrations.
