Can you recommend tools that helped you be more productive when working with io.Connect and in general? Is there an IDE extension, MCP server or app that made your life easier?

I’ve tried playing with Copilot and Codex lately, but haven’t been impressed - I think because of knowledge cutoff and irrelevant context they make too many mistakes.
