Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) declared that it will integrate an AI coding agent created by the Google-backed startup Anthropic into its GitHub platform. Executive Vice President Jay Parikh announced it on Tuesday during the company’s annual developer conference.

Joining forces with Anthropic and other parts of the MCP network, Microsoft has designed an authorization spec to improve security between apps and MCP servers. The new spec lets users implement verified sign-in methods like Microsoft Entra ID to let apps powered by agents and LLMs access data, including personal drives or subscriptions.
