# Coder 2.26

The September release levels up AI readiness with quality-of-life upgrades to Tasks and a wave of new CLI agents in the Coder Registry. It also makes it easier to connect existing environments and delivers ROI visibility for Prebuilt Workspaces.

## New Features

### Pre-configure MCP Server for Agentic IDEs

- Improve agentic IDEs with more organization-specific context and accuracy using MCP server.
- Set golden-path MCP configs at the template level for Cursor, Windsurf, and Kiro so devs are productive on day one without manual `mcp.json` tweaks.
- Centralize config as code for consistent, governed AI adoption across teams.

### New Terminal-based AI Agent Support

- Run popular terminal agents inside Coder workspaces including Sourcegraph AMP, OpenAI Codex, Cursor CLI, Google Gemini CLI, and Auggie CLI.
- Add agents with just a few lines of Terraform from the [Registry](https://registry.coder.com/modules?search=tag%3Aagent), and integrate them with Coder Tasks for automated workflows.

### Connect External Workspaces to Coder's Management Plane

- Incrementally adopt Coder while protecting investments and operational continuity with [External Workspaces](https://coder.com/docs/admin/templates/managing-templates/external-workspaces) in early access.
- Bring specialized hardware and legacy systems within Coder’s governance framework.

### Coder Tasks Improvements

- Partial CLI and API support to enable automation and integrations within [Coder Tasks](https://coder.com/docs/ai-coder/tasks), our interface for running & managing coding agents.
- UI polish and papercut fixes, including build/agent logs during startup, telemetry integration, and filters to surface Tasks that need user input.

### Prebuilt Workspace Improvements

- Observe time savings from using [Prebuilt Workspaces](https://coder.com/docs/admin/templates/extending-templates/prebuilt-workspaces) with metrics exported from Coder via Prometheus and Grafana.
- Automatic preset detection when users manually select settings that match a preset, reducing build times without requiring preset selection.
