The latest VS Code release adds preview support for SEP-2640 "Skills over MCP," letting MCP servers automatically provide skills to the model. On first connect, users are asked to allow the skills into model context; they can then be managed in the Skills tab of the Agent Customizations editor via the chat.agentHost.mcpSkills.enabled setting.
