Copilot Studio now lets organizations publish internal tools, APIs, and data connectors as Model Context Protocol servers, making enterprise capabilities discoverable and invokable by any MCP-compatible AI client. This bridges the gap between Microsoft's existing Power Platform connectors and the growing ecosystem of MCP-aware agents and assistants. Security and governance controls from the existing Copilot Studio infrastructure apply to the published MCP endpoints.

Cursor's Background Agents feature lets developers queue long-running code generation tasks that run asynchronously in isolated cloud sandboxes. When the task completes, the agent returns a diff for the developer to review and merge. This shifts AI-assisted coding from a synchronous, blocking interaction to a fire-and-forget workflow that runs while the developer focuses on other work.
