Amazon Q Developer has introduced Model Context Protocol (MCP) support in its IDE plugins for Visual Studio Code and JetBrains, enhancing context-aware workflows by integrating external tools. This allows developers to streamline tasks, such as managing Jira issues and accessing Figma designs, directly from the IDE without manual context switching. By utilizing MCP, Q Developer can automatically fetch relevant details and execute complex multi-tool tasks efficiently.

Octopus has launched the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, which integrates AI assistants with Continuous Delivery processes to enhance software deployment and diagnostics. This server allows for standardized communication between AI tools and Octopus, improving efficiency and traceability while ensuring data security and compliance. Early access participants can explore these AI-powered capabilities to streamline their DevOps workflows.
