    We are actively working on this - the support is rolling out across the ecosystem: https://claude.com/blog/bringing-mcp-2026-07-28-to-claude

    This protocol change doesn't require you to do anything to existing running MCP code - only if you want to take advantage of new capabilities!

    Hey folks - one of the Lead Maintainers for MCP. Happy that we got this release out the door today, this is an exciting change for those that wanted to roll out remove MCP servers …

    Depending on the setup, you just have to be really careful to avoid confused deputy scenarios. I wrote about it: https://den.dev/blog/mcp-confused-deputy-api-management/

    Was great collaborating with you and your team on this!

    There's theoretically nothing really stopping this integration from working in the consumer space - you just need to establish a trust relationship (e.g., if I am logged in with Gi…

    We are in touch with the Microsoft Entra ID folks to see how we can better integrate EMA in their stack!

    It is available! The feature is available in Claude, with Okta being the first IdP to support it (hopefully more coming soon) and with a bunch of MCP partners launching with us tod…

    You don't actually need to ask me for that - a lot of the data is very public, and we've been on a roll announcing MCP partnerships, and developer adoption keeps going up. There is…

    Hey - one of the lead maintainers of the MCP project here. There are a lot of scenarios where this simply won't scale (both from a usability and security standpoint). Cookies were …

    The standard itself is not MCP-specific. As long as the client and the server adopt ID-JAG, they're golden. RFC draft: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-oauth-identity-a.…

    FWIW, we never vibe-coded the spec to begin with, but yes - auth is a continuous learning process, and we're lucky to collaborate with some really talented folks both inside and ou…

    Love more adoption of EMA and, of course, better infra for MCP developers. Thanks for such a quick turnaround on this feature work!

    We're always looking at making it a smoother experience - it's a top pain point for developers and IT admins alike. If you have feedback - feel free to send it my way!

    What's interesting about this standard is that it's not really MCP-specific. It can work just as nicely for any other workload - it just requires the authorization server/IdP to su…

    Hey folks - I am one of the folks at Anthropic that helped deliver this in partnership with Okta and a handful of MCP partners. We're very excited about this taking shape in Claude…

    More of the latter than the former. The protocol itself is constrained to a set of well-defined primitives, but clients can do a bunch of pre-processing before invoking any of them…

    One of the MCP Core Maintainers here, so take this with a boulder of salt if you're skeptical of my biases. The debate around "MCP vs. CLI" is somewhat pointless to me personally. …
