Storybook MCP Server — connecting an AI agent directly to a component library so it can query docs, generate stories, run accessibility tests, and self-heal

Storybook MCP Server: The Complete Developer Guide to AI-Assisted UI Component Development

Storybook's official MCP server (@storybook/addon-mcp) turns your component library into a live knowledge source for AI agents. Agents can query component documentation, generate stories, run interaction and accessibility tests, and self-correct — all without you having to intervene. This guide covers the architecture, the three toolsets, installation step-by-step, and two alternative MCP approaches including the community-built storybook-mcp package.

Microsoft Scout — Microsoft's first Autopilot agent, a desktop AI app that acts on your files, shell, browser, and Microsoft 365 data with its own Entra identity

Microsoft Scout: The Complete Guide to Microsoft’s First Always-On Autopilot Agent

Microsoft Scout is Microsoft's first Autopilot agent, announced at Build 2026. It's a desktop AI application for Windows and macOS that acts on your files, shell, browser, and Microsoft 365 data — with its own Entra identity, heartbeat background mode, automations, and sub-agent delegation. This guide covers everything: what it is, what it can do, how access works, enterprise governance, and what it means for Power Platform and enterprise developers.

Work IQ APIs: Microsoft’s New Intelligence Layer for Enterprise Agents Is Now Generally Available

Work IQ is Microsoft's new intelligence layer for Microsoft 365, announced at Build 2026 and going generally available June 16, 2026. It gives agents — and the developers building them — a way to work with business context rather than raw data: 2x faster than traditional APIs, 80% fewer tokens, 10 MCP tools instead of hundreds, and full M365 tenant security. This post covers the architecture, the five core advantages, how to get started with the MCP server and CLI today, and what it means for Power Platform developers building on Dataverse and M365.

This guide covers three-tier setup, billing on your Azure subscription, preview limits, and how to integrate AI-assisted code review into Power Platform ALM workflows for Dataverse plugins and PCF controls.

Dataverse MCP server — 15 named tools giving AI agents grounded, auditable access to Power Platform data

Dataverse MCP Server: The 15 Tools That Make Power Platform Agent-Ready

Microsoft formalized the Dataverse MCP server tool shape in June 2026 — 15 named tools that give any MCP-compatible agent grounded, auditable access to your Power Platform environment. This analysis covers the full tool surface organized by risk tier, how to configure clients in VS Code and Copilot Studio, the billing model, and a dedicated security and governance breakdown: Entra ID auth, RBAC, client allowlisting, audit gaps, prompt injection risks, and the delete-override danger in the sample agent instructions.

GitHub Copilot Plan agent in Visual Studio — structured AI-assisted development with a Markdown plan reviewed before code generation

Think Before You Build: GitHub Copilot’s Plan Agent in Visual Studio — Structured AI-Assisted Development

GitHub Copilot's Plan agent, introduced in Visual Studio in May 2026, adds a deliberate planning phase before any code generation happens. Instead of watching AI modify files in unpredictable directions, you review and approve a detailed Markdown plan grounded in your actual codebase — before a single file changes. This guide covers how the Plan agent works step by step, how to write prompts that produce genuinely useful plans, and how to apply it to a real Dataverse plugin refactoring scenario with working before-and-after code examples.

Entire.io captures AI coding sessions as permanent checkpoints linked to Power Platform Git commits

Entire.io for Power Platform Developers: Why AI Coding Sessions Need a System of Record

AI coding agents like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot generate Power Platform solutions at speed — but when the session ends, the reasoning behind every plugin stage, Client API pattern, and architecture decision disappears from the git history. Entire.io is a CLI-first system of record that captures those AI coding sessions as permanent, searchable records linked directly to your commits. This article explains why Power Platform developers need this more than most and how Entire fits into the full code-first development stack alongside microsoft/power-platform-skills and microsoft/Dataverse-skills.

VS Code vs Windsurf vs Cursor: The definitive 2026 AI coding editor comparison

VS Code vs Windsurf vs Cursor: My Honest Take After 6 Months Using All Three

After spending hundreds of hours with all three editors, here's the bottom line: VS Code + Copilot is the reliable workhorse with unmatched ecosystem support. Windsurf + Cascade is the AI-native innovator with continuous context awareness. Cursor is the agentic middle ground with excellent tab completion and Composer mode. Each excels in different scenarios, and for Power Platform developers? The answer depends entirely on your workflow. Let me show you exactly how to choose.
