VS Code AI Tools
The first AI tool native to the Axon Ivy VS Code Designer has been implemented.
Simply by installing the Axon Ivy PRO Designer 14 extension, the tool newAxonIvyProject will be made available to Copilot. This tool allows Copilot to easily and efficiently create new Axon Ivy projects in your workspace.
In case you remember our previous efforts prototyping an MCP Server to enable Copilot working with processes, data classes, forms, etc., this approach is planned to replace that. It serves as a first proof of concept and all features provided by the MCP Server will be moved directly into the VS Code Designer in the future.

Discussion
- This move somewhat limits the coding agents that get access to our provided AI tooling. Any objections?
Next steps
- Move existing tools from the MCP to the VS Code Designer.
- Implement robust testing infrastructure.
