The agent uses a Notebook Summary tool to keep context in long tasks.
When it runs a cell, you’ll see a code preview and link in Chat, making it easy to review and jump to the Notebook before confirming execution.

The Jupyter extension now guides you to set up or select a Python environment, ensuring your notebook kernel is ready to go. This lets the agent run notebook cells with minimal user input.

Quickly add your working file as chat context, just pick the suggestion or use a shortcut. In agent mode, only the file name and cursor location are shared (not file contents).

With MCP sampling (experimental), MCP servers can request actions from the model, but your confirmation is always required on first use.
You have full control over which models each server can access and can review detailed sampling logs at any time using the MCP: List Servers command.

VS Code is the first editor supporting all MCP spec capabilities! 🎉
We've implemented support for MCP's full spec, including prompts, resources, sampling (experimental), authentication, and dev mode. This enables you to manage and interact with AI models more securely and efficiently.
