Microsoft Agent Framework adds GitHub Copilot and Claude Code connectors
agent-framework coding-agents orchestration tool-use
Microsoft just made it easier to build agents that can actually write code. The new GA connectors for GitHub Copilot and Anthropic's Claude Code drop straight into the Microsoft Agent Framework, with no custom adapter work needed for .NET or Python developers. Microsoft is positioning its orchestration layer as the place where agentic workflows get assembled, whether the coding AI underneath is theirs or a competitor's.
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.
