So, uh... Kinda neat, Sonos now has a MCP server dsc.ai/sonos-mcp

Sometimes folks forget that MCP as a protocol is never actually "done" - we're constantly iterating on changes and releasing new revisions. For a protocol with this scope and adoption, I am actually pleasantly surprised how quickly we can move. dsc.ai/mcp-seoul-ke...

Got the chance to travel to beautiful Seoul 🇰🇷 to keynote the MCP Dev Summit. Wild to think that MCP is less than two years old 🤯 Full video: dsc.ai/mcp-seoul-ke...

By the way, we just GA-d Enterprise Managed Auth (EMA) for MCP in Claude. No more auth prompts - just smooth SSO sailing for supported connectors.

Don't mind me, just reverse-engineering my way to playable Hunters in Halo: Campaign Evolved.

Well that's neat 😏 You can hook into some debugging modes in the game.

This is pretty amazing. Free cam in Halo: Campaign Evolved CAN, in fact, be unlocked.

OMG, so I discovered secret machinima controls in Halo: Campaign Evolved, and by proxy learned that all this time I was playing as a half-body ghost?

The new MCP spec is now officially in flight 🛫 2026-07-28 is here, with a fully stateless protocol dsc.ai/new-mcp

Brand new MCP SDKs just dropped for those of you who are brave enough to be on beta branches to test the new spec ✨ dsc.ai/sdk-betas

Den @den.dev · 21/06/2026
I'm not kidding, Enterprise Managed Auth is probably the one thing that I am most excited about in the auth space this year. One SSO auth into Claude and you're logged into a bunch of other MCP servers automatically. Magic. You can sign your org up 👉 dsc.ai/emaw

Unreal. Our today's MCP announcement is top of HN right now.

I am getting tired of overpermissioned tokens floating around, so the new MCP spec will be better for those that like step-up auth.

MCP is gonna be stateless starting the next protocol version ✨

This reminds me of this iconic discussion. Sure, you can do all this with SSH. Just find a way to pass credentials and SSO state there, teach all clients to manage keys and sessions, implement a custom token revocation system, sprinkle some way to proxy machine state to LLM client, sandbox it, etc.

We kind of went all-in with MCP Apps in Claude ✨ dsc.ai/5qcESt

I am honestly in constant awe seeing the creative ways people use MCP for other creative tasks. We just launched Claude for Creative Work with a bunch of really cool MCP servers that I am excited for you to go try - and tell us how we can make this experience better! Announcement: dsc.ai/Kb5T7a

Tiny personal news - I am now one of the Lead Maintainers for Model Context Protocol 👋 More work ahead, so if you have any feedback about the protocol, its docs, SDKs, or anything at all - let me know!

Ran into @aparker.io and that led to me now being a proud owner of this gem.

Here's the best way for me to explain how fast the MCP SDK for Python is growing.

Den @den.dev · 27/03/2026
To this day, I am still fascinated by just how much the MCP TypeScript SDK is downloaded DAILY.

Den @den.dev · 26/03/2026
One thing I'm really proud of with MCP is that we actually document the security stuff that can go wrong instead of pretending it doesn't exist. if you're building with MCP auth, the guide we have on the public docs is genuinely worth a read: dsc.ai/sbp

Den @den.dev · 24/03/2026
MCP context management is a solved problem. I mean, look at the work that we deployed for the Claude platform (it's used across Claude, Cowork, and Claude Code) and the impact it had. 👉 dsc.ai/tst

Den @den.dev · 24/03/2026
Ya know what makes your Monday? Claude Code now supports CIMD for MCP OAuth ✨ If your MCP server uses Client ID Metadata Documents, Claude Code discovers and handles it automatically. No funky registration dance or manual client setup! In case you're not yet using Claude Code: dsc.ai/clc
272
Den @den.dev · 22/03/2026
If you're building MCP clients, CIMD is worth diving into (Bluesky uses it too). Your client hosts a JSON doc at an HTTPS URL, that URL becomes the client ID. It eliminates the need for registration endpoints and the DCR dance. DCR is now the fallback, not the default. Full spec: dsc.ai/mcpauth

Den @den.dev · 21/03/2026
One more about MCP (I'm on a roll today)! MCP tool annotations are hints, not guarantees. A server can claim readOnlyHint: true and delete your files anyway. So what are they good for? ✅ Confirmation prompts 🔍 Reasoning about tool combinations 🏢 Feeding policy engines More details 👉 dsc.ai/mcpta

Bet you didn't know MCP supports extensions 🧩 🧱 Additive layers on top of core 🖥️ MCP Apps already GA - fun interactive UIs in the chat window 🔐 Auth extensions add Client Credentials + Enterprise-Managed Auth on top of core OAuth 🗳️ Extensions are how future spec changes get proven out dsc.ai/mcpe

The 2026 MCP roadmap is here! 🚇 Transport scalability - horizontal scaling + .well-known discovery 🤝 Agent comms - Tasks lifecycle fixes 🏛️ Governance - contributor ladder + WG delegation 🏢 Enterprise readiness - auth, audit, gateways Transport stuff is likely most interesting. dsc.ai/mcpr26

Claude can now dynamically generate graphic (and, most importantly, interactive) experiences based on your prompts. This is an amazing boost to those who want to learn concepts beyond text (hello, fellow visual learners)!

Fun little experiment I am bootstrapping with MCP Apps and Claude - a custom Three.js-based MCP brick builder. This is just the first couple of steps, but I'd love to get this to the point where I can give Claude an image and it reconstructs it as a LEGO MOC. Tinkering 👉 github.com/dend/brick-m...

Den @den.dev · 23/02/2026
If you're using Claude, you will now be able to plug in any of our connectors in the Connector Directory, regardless of whether you're on a paid plan or not. As a side-note, I love this change because these capabilities are underpinned by MCP and we're making it more accessible to everyone.

Our team wants to make getting started with MCP Apps as easy as possible, so we put every resource imaginable in our GitHub repo. All here ⮡ github.com/modelcontext... If you're building with MCP Apps, I would love to hear your feedback - how can we make this a smoother process?

Another problem - we're coordinating a lot of the MCP work over @discord.com - but that gets out of hand quickly because the server is quite chatty. Solution? I built an MCP server for it (Discord doesn't have their own) that can be easily hosted on @cloudflare.social. github.com/dend/guildbr...

This past weekend, I was building some projects on Ubuntu. I wanted to record some GIFs for demos, but couldn't find a good tool. A few hours later, I had one built just for me, based on the exact experience I wanted that runs well on Wayland and is 100% Rust-based: github.com/dend/heartkelp

Starting today, you can have your MCP servers return interactive components ✨ That's right, you can now put full-blown UI experiences inside your chat - supported in @anthropic.com Claude and @vscode.dev (more clients soon) 🚀 Blog post: blog.modelcontextprotocol.io/posts/2026-0...
