Coding agents and AI IDEs are the tools that edit a real repo: files, tests, terminals, and instruction files like AGENTS.md. This shelf also absorbs assistants, MCP servers, and skill directories so the agent stack lives on one page. If a product only pastes snippets into chat, it does not belong here.
Pick by loop. Some people want an AI-native IDE all day. Some want a terminal agent over the whole tree. Some want autocomplete with corporate approval. Mixing Cursor for daily work and a CLI agent for refactors is normal. The compare guides for Cursor vs Claude Code and Copilot vs Cursor exist so this page does not have to be a holy war.
Filters split assistants, MCP, and skills. Use them when you already know you need a server or a SKILL.md directory. Featured picks are the daily drivers we would actually pay for. The grid is the long tail, including smaller MCP and skill listings that never appear in IDE reviews.
Guardrails matter more than the model name this week. Tests, types, and a short instruction file turn these from slot machines into teammates. Read the glossary entries for AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, SKILL.md, and MCP if the words on the cards are still mush.
