Anthropic's 2026 Agentic Coding Trends Report captures an important tension in how developers use AI. Engineers report using AI in roughly 60% of their work, yet say they can fully delegate only 0–20% of their tasks. AI is becoming a constant collaborator, but it still needs setup, supervision, validation, and human judgment. That gap is especia...

Most "AI agent" demos forget everything the moment the process exits. That's fine for a toy project, but useless for anything real. An agent that helps you write, triage, or support needs two things a language model alone can't give it: durable state and the ability to recall the right context by meaning. This post shows how to build exactly that b...

Since we introduced the Azure Cosmos DB MCP Toolkit at Ignite 2025 in preview, the response has been clear: developers want a straightforward way to connect AI agents to their production databases. Customers asked for stability, broader embedding provider support, and a smoother path from experimentation to production. Today, we're announcing th...

The Problem Every Developer Knows Too Well You're building a feature. You know exactly what data you need all orders from the last week over $500, grouped by region. The logic is clear in your head. But between you and that data sits a query language, a documentation tab (or three), and fifteen minutes of trial and error before you get the synta...

Back in January, we shipped the Azure Cosmos DB Agent kit in preview with 45 rules and a hypothesis: if we package Azure Cosmos DB expertise into a format that AI coding agents understand, developers will stop making the same expensive mistakes. That hypothesis held up. What surprised us was how much the rules themselves needed to evolve once we st...

 Today, we're thrilled to announce the public preview of Azure Cosmos DB Shell – a powerful, open-source command-line interface that revolutionizes how developers interact with their Azure Cosmos DB databases. With integrated Model Context Protocol (MCP) server support, native agentic capabilities, and bash-like syntax, Azure Cosmos DB Shell transf...

We're excited to announce the Cursor plugin for Azure Cosmos DB bringing AI-powered database expertise, best practices guidance, and live database connectivity directly into your coding workflow. Whether you're designing a new data model, optimizing queries, or building a RAG application with vector search, the Cursor plugin gives your AI assist...

The FOSSASIA Summit 2026 was an incredible gathering of developers, open-source contributors, startups, and technology enthusiasts from across the region. This year, Azure Cosmos DB and Azure DocumentDB were present at the summit with both technical sessions and a dedicated booth, giving us a great opportunity to connect with the community and talk...

The Vercel AI SDK is an open-source TypeScript toolkit that provides the core building blocks for integrating AI into any JavaScript application. It works with 20+ AI providers out of the box—including OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, and more—so you can write your code once and switch providers by changing a single import. At i...

Modern infrastructure work is increasingly agent driven, but only if your AI actually understands the platform you’re deploying. This guide shows how to turn GitHub Copilot CLI into an Azure Cosmos DB aware infrastructure expert by loading the Azure Cosmos DB Agent Kit. In under a minute, you’ll give Copilot deep, opinionated knowledge of Azure Cos...
