How'd you set it up? Cursor has been pretty good for me so far. But I've only been using the Anthropic models

I use VS Code you can either use copilot pro and select claude as your AI model or use the claude code extensions.

all you software engineers who are building out mcps for jira/confluence etc deserve a motherfukking salute.

MCP + VSCODE = Time for Family

Holy fukk I just tried using the ADO mcp server.

The Claude Sonnet 4.6 shows 'major improvement' in computer use skills when compared to prior Sonnet models, Anthropic claimed.
