MCP Specification 2026-07-28
Yesterday marked the launch of the latest release of MCP, the protocol championed by Anthropic and a founding member of the Agentic AI Foundation back in December 2025. MCP had been on my radar since the middle of 2025, when I integrated into a proof-of-concept project. When the last version of the spec launched in November 2025 (2025-11-25 spec) I did in-depth research on the new features. And I've been tracking the latest release for many months, particularly because of the potential of Skills over MCP. So it's great to see the launch.
