| Clear signals in this update: November 25 release, with RC on Nov 11—important that they’ve built in a 14-day validation window. Working Groups & Interest Groups formalized, governance distributed. MCP Registry now live as discovery backbone. Async ops (SEP-1391) broaden use cases beyond quick tasks. Statelessness & scalability addressed by Transport WG. Server identity via .well-known makes discovery more intuitive. Most popular protocol extensions being codified. Tiering system for SDKs adds transparency on compliance & support. Curious tension: MCP is positioning as both a protocol and an ecosystem backbone. Worth questioning whether tiered SDK support accelerates adoption or risks fragmentation. Emergence suggests MCP is moving from “experimental” into “production AI plumbing.” If async, registry, & identity land cleanly, integration patterns could stabilize quickly. |
