Microsoft Agent Framework adds GitHub Copilot and Claude Code connectors

Full analysis

Microsoft has released generally available (GA) connectors for GitHub Copilot and Anthropic's Claude Code within the Microsoft Agent Framework. These connectors allow developers building .NET and Python agents to delegate coding tasks to either AI coding system without writing custom adapter code, lowering the integration barrier for agentic workflows that incorporate AI-assisted coding. The announcement signals deeper interoperability between Microsoft's agent orchestration layer and both its own (GitHub Copilot) and third-party (Anthropic Claude Code) coding AI systems.
