With this update, you can now build applications alongside an AI agent that actively works on your project, not one that just answers questions about it.\n\nPowered by MCP and integrated with App CLI, Agentic Mode understands your workspace, creates and edits files, runs your app, and interprets errors as they happen. It has deep knowledge of Arduino App Lab, Apps, Bricks, and Sketches.\n\nAlongside Agentic Mode, App Lab 0.10 also introduces Language Server support for code completion and navigation, a streamlined way to connect your board to Arduino Cloud and a restructured Examples library. Here’s a breakdown.\n\n## The big one: Agentic Mode\n\nAgentic Mode and session panel in Arduino App Lab 0.10\n\nOpen Arduino App Lab and you’ll notice a new button at the bottom of the screen “Agentic Mode.” Through its MCP integration with App CLI, it understands your workspace and actively works on your project.\n\nIf you need a reminder, MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI models interact with external tools and systems. Rather than just generating text, an MCP-connected agent can invoke tools, read state, and take actions, in this case, through Arduino App CLI.\n\nIt’s what allows Agentic Mode to go beyond simple conversation and actually operate on your project.\n\nAgentic Mode can create and edit files, run your App, stop it when needed, and interpret errors as they happen. Ask it to build a feature and you can watch it assemble the project step by step, instead of handing you a wall of code to copy and paste. Watch this demo as an example.\n\nAgentic Mode works on a Bring-Your-Own-Key basis: you authenticate with your AI provider of choice, keeping you in control of your API usage and costs. Claude is supported at first, with more providers coming soon.\n\n## Faster code editing with Language Server Support\n\nArduino App Lab 0.10 integrates a Language Server (not available in SBC Mode on UNO Q) that brings IDE-quality features to your Sketches and scripts: autocomplete, auto-formatting, hover documentation, “go to definition”, and “find all references” work across Arduino sketches, Python, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.\n\nThe new Language Server allows Inline code definition\n\n## Connect your board to Arduino Cloud, right from Settings\n\nYou can now register your Arduino® UNO™ Q board with Arduino Cloud directly from the Settings page, no need to leave Arduino App Lab. Once registered, your board is ready for IoT-enabled Apps.\n\nProvision UNO Q for Arduino Cloud directly from the Arduino App Lab’s device settings page.\n\n## A clearer path through Examples\n\nThe Examples catalog has been restructured into three tiers so you always know where to start and where to go next:\n\n1. Inspirations: more than examples, full blown Applications that showcase what the board can really do.\n\n2. Examples: the fundamentals, taught through focused topics like LEDs, matrices, and the Bridge API.\n\n3. Bricks Examples: small, interactive apps that each focus on a single Brick’s functionalities, so you can see one building block in action at a time.\n\n*New inspiration page to show the full potential of Arduino UNO Q*\n\n**Download Arduino App Lab 0.10**\n\nUpdate Arduino [App Lab to 0.10.0](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/#app-lab-section).\n\nFor the full list of changes, see[ the release notes](https://docs.arduino.cc/software/app-lab/release-notes/release-0-10/).\n\n**Resource**\n\n- Purchase the\n[Arduino UNO Q](https://store.arduino.cc/pages/uno-q?utm_source=blog).\n\n*Arduino and UNO are trademarks or registered trademarks of Arduino S.r.l.*", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/arduino-app-lab-0-10-meet-agentic-mode", "canonical_source": "https://blog.arduino.cc/2026/08/12/arduino-app-lab-0-10-meet-agentic-mode/", "published_at": "2026-08-12 11:53:06+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-26 10:44:42.113972+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "developer-tools", "artificial-intelligence"], "entities": ["Arduino", "Arduino App Lab", "MCP", "App CLI", "Claude", "Arduino UNO Q", "Arduino Cloud"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/arduino-app-lab-0-10-meet-agentic-mode", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/arduino-app-lab-0-10-meet-agentic-mode.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/arduino-app-lab-0-10-meet-agentic-mode.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/arduino-app-lab-0-10-meet-agentic-mode.jsonld"}}
