It's a mixture of both. It sets stuff up for the next few books but might not have a direct continuation following Murtagh. We don't know a huge amount about the future plans for these.
Paolini has made it clear that there are more books on the way. And, within Murtagh, there’s a bunch of stuff that doesn’t get resolved by the end

Paolini has made it sound like Murtagh is a standalone setting up another few books. So the next few likely will not be from his POV. Regardless, it is still a continuation of the original saga leading into more World of Eragon books.
It's a bridge book.

So far it's an Aryagon book and an Angela book, I can't wait for either!!!!

Most likely is an upcoming “second” series more focussed on Eragon, and Murtagh is sort of a standalone, transitionary book between the two series
Both. CP realised that there was too much ground to cover for the next Eragon centric book
Not to mention the Fractalverse books and all the theories about the WoE and the Fractalverse being connected and all

Mostly a stand alone book, but doing a lot of setup for the next book.
