Agent Plugins 1.0.0 standardizes exactly two component types: skills and MCP servers. Slash commands, hooks, subagents, rules, LSP servers, permission config and secrets all stay vendor-specific. Here is the field-by-field matrix across Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot and Codex, and which layout to author in.

GitHub's August 27 and August 28, 2026 changelogs remove the 20,000 line review cap, start reviewing bot-authored PRs, and flip the default review effort from Lite to Balanced on September 28. All three push AI credit consumption up in the same month.

Claude Code 2.1.251 adds PreModelSwitch and PostModelSwitch hook events. The matcher fires on the canonical name of the model you are switching to, and exit code 2 cancels the switch.

Protocol revision 2026-07-28 deleted Mcp-Session-Id, the initialize handshake, resources/subscribe, ping, logging/setLevel and SSE resumability. An automated survey of 1000 open source MCP servers found 90% reference the session ID nowhere. Here is what the other 10% has to rewrite, with verified code on @modelcontextprotocol/server 2.0.0.

A symlink swapped after the check, deny rules that stopped applying through a symlinked search path, a marketplace command pointing outside its plugin, and a workflow script read before approval. Four fixes in one release, all the same bug.

A server that vanished from /mcp with no error is almost always an allowlist. Run claude mcp add on the same server: the add path prints the reason the load path swallows.

MCP9005 is advisory, but MCP9004 crashes at startup and stateless mode makes SampleAsync throw. Here is what each diagnostic means and how to fix it properly.

A headersHelper field on url marketplaces and catalog entries runs a local command that prints HTTP headers, so an internal plugin catalog behind S3 or an artifact repo can authenticate with a short-lived token. Here is the schema, the consent prompt, and the header names Claude Code drops.

MCP error -32022 means your client opened at 2025-11-25 but the server only serves 2026-07-28. Make one side dual-era instead of pinning a version.

Cursor shipped Builds for Cloud Agents on August 13, 2026: a bootable filesystem snapshot of an already prepared machine. Cursor reports 3x faster time to first token. The lever you control is the install vs start split in .cursor/environment.json.
