summary

Explains why MCP exists: a protocol for model agency that Anthropic open‑sources (November launch) so LLMs can call real tools. Covers concrete work shipped at Anthropic: remote MCP support, fixing OAuth pitfalls, adding streamable HTTP, and iterating the draft RFS. Demos the operational pieces — an MCP gateway pattern with URL routing, OAuth 2.1 auth, websockets and DynamoDB session tables — and new spec features like sampling and elicitation, the registry API, and where to build high‑quality servers, observability, and security.
