Visual Studio Code is an open-source AI code editor designed for multi-agent development. It enables developers to hand off tasks to AI agents that autonomously plan, make code changes, run commands, and iterate until the job is done. The editor supports almost every major programming language out of the box, including JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, and HTML, with extensions available for others. Users can customize the UI and layout with color themes, profiles, and settings sync. VS Code facilitates coding anywhere, whether connected to the cloud, a remote repository, or in the browser via vscode.dev. It includes built-in features such as an integrated terminal, debugging tools, Git version control, build tasks, local history tracking, and accessibility optimizations. The platform can be extended with tools from the Extension Marketplace and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
