mcp-server-azure-devops VS void

We use an outdated on-premise version of Azure DevOps (nee. Team Foundation Server) for our sorry excuse of task management. We also use some horrible plugin for time tracking so our bosses can be sure we're keeping the seat warm for the correct amount of time.

I forked [this existing MCP server for azure devops](https://github.com/Tiberriver256/mcp-server-azure-devops) but I had to make a lot of changes to have it work on our env and I also added some tools for working with that shitty time tracking plugin.

Void is basically the same thing, but open source and better. It's easy to use with any provider API key, even LM Studio for local models. You can use it with free models available from OpenRouter to try it out, but the quality of output is just as dependent on the model as any other solution.

Currently editing in Cursor, using agents heavily as I'm a solo dev with limited time. Been exploring running models locally and looking into Zed & Void (https://voideditor.com/). Anyone have opinions on these? Downloading both to try but wondering if the free plan on Zed is doable for full time software engineering, mostly working on next.js sites & native mobile apps in Swift/Kotlin

We're building Void, an open source alternative - https://github.com/voideditor/void

It comes with a similar feature set to Cursor and Windsurf (Agent mode, inline edits, autocomplete, tool-use) but you can bring any model and connect directly to any provider. It's BYOK right now, and Gemini has a good free usage tier.

We've been working on this for some time, and someone put us on HN a couple days ago! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43927926

The competition in AI editors is a bit silly at this moment. Everyone and his dog are "building" an AI assisted editor now by duct taping Ollama onto VSCode. I don't like my data being sent to untrusted parties, so I cannot evaluate most of these. On top of that, the things keep evolving as well, and editors that I dismissed a few months ago, are now all of a sudden turning into amazing productivity boosters, thanks to developments in both models as well as in editor tricks.

My money is on Cursor [1], which does not stop to amaze me, and seems to get a lot of traction. The integration is very clever, and it is scary how it figures out what I intend to do. Then again, I'm probably doing mundane tasks most of the time. For the few bright moments in my day I tend to use ChatGPT, because most of my real problems are in application domains, not in code.

I am not a firm believer in forking large open source projects, because it will take a lot of effort to keep up with future diversions. This makes me a bit wary of projects such as Cursor and Void [2]. Somebody needs deep pockets to sustainably surpass the popularity of VSCode. To point out just one problem with forking: VSCode works fine in Ubuntu, but Cursor does not work out of the box in Ubuntu. Having to disable the sandbox is a show-stopper for most.

In that respect, the extensions might be a safer bet, and I think Sourcegraph's Cody and Continue are making the largest waves there. Hard to tell with so many waves.
