Port of Context needed a GTM intelligence agent that could search multiple key terms in real time across data-intensive sources like GitHub and Hacker News. Before committing to an execution path, they wanted to test if their Code Mode solution (built into goose) would result in a more efficient and robust agent. Code Mode delivered…
goose is an open source AI agent runtime hosted at the Agentic AI Foundation. Its last two releases, versions 1.36 and 1.37, dropped in quick succession and together push goose further open. Here's what shipped.
At work, I’m building agents to handle various operational tasks and have found Karpathy’s LLM Wiki design to be an excellent solution for implementing most types of memory for my agents. The LLM wiki is a simple yet powerful collection of interlinked markdown files that are updated as the LLM gains more knowledge.
The Agentic AI Foundation welcomes agentgateway — an open source gateway purpose-built for MCP, Agent-to-Agent, LLM, and API traffic — as its newest hosted project.
Solo.io’s Lin Sun on the infrastructure challenges emerging around AI systems, why existing gateway patterns are being stretched in new ways, and why agentgateway was built as a unified, high-performance operational layer for AI and API traffic.
How do we take the incredible momentum of autonomous AI agents and scale it into reliable, enterprise-grade production? As businesses rush to deploy agentic workloads, the focus is rapidly shifting from just making them work to making them seamless, efficient, and standardized.
Most MCP tools are designed for programmers. Agents are not programmers. Building tools around tasks and intents, then obsessing over description quality, produces dramatically better selection accuracy and fewer failures at runtime.
Getting an AI agent to work is a different problem from getting it to run in production without someone watching it. Datadog built its first hundred agents across SRE, code generation, and security investigation. The hardest parts had nothing to do with model quality.
The next MCP specification release candidate is a big one. The headline change is that MCP is becoming stateless at the protocol layer, but the more useful story is what that does for people building agentic systems in practice.
I'm thrilled to welcome the MLOps Community into the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) as our user community.
When Prime Video's engineering teams started building with agents, they followed a pattern that made obvious sense. Give the agent access to the same tools the engineers have. Stand up MCP servers. Let the agent figure out what to call.
Almost all of MCP's current adoption is happening in cloud environments, on large models with generous compute budgets.Manufacturing floors, medical devices, vehicles, smartphones,are where the next wave of AI deployments is headed.
Nick Cooper, Member of Technical Staff at OpenAI and a contributor to the MCP ecosystem, shared that he'd been thinking about this debate for a year, but stopped short of picking a side: "As for whether or not one is better than the other, it's not a decision between one or the other. You clearly…
The operational scale of MCP is significant: Google Cloud maintains the reliability for its MCP servers supporting AlloyDB, Spanner, Cloud SQL, Bigtable, and Firestore. The team's open source MCP Toolbox for Databases has seen rapid adoption, surpassing 13,000 GitHub stars and managing over 20 million tool calls across 40+ databases in the last month.
As we integrate AI into more workflows, a common question is: how do AI systems find each other and related artifacts? AI Catalog addresses this by providing a shared, trusted discovery layer that gives different kinds of AI artifacts a common place to be found.
Red Hat engineers Wesley Chun and Calum Murray opened with a problem that a lot of MCP server builders have already run into: your code passes every test, the agent still fails, and you have no idea where things went wrong. Their answer is MCP Checker, an open source evaluation framework built specifically for the…
MCP Apps exist because displaying data in chat is wasteful. Take the case of a simple request like “What’s the weather today in New York?” When a user asks for it, the model gets JSON from the tool, converts it to text, and sends it back, token by token. The user reads a wall of…
The Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) is now accepting project proposals. If you're building open source tooling or standards for agentic systems and want it to become part of the shared infrastructure this ecosystem runs on, submit your project for consideration today.
For the better part of a decade, the "Microservice" has been the undisputed unit of value in software engineering. We spent years perfecting the art of the stateless, predictable container, wrapping it in layers of GitOps and CI/CD pipelines to ensure that what we deployed yesterday is exactly what runs tomorrow. But now we are…
Agentic commerce is coming. How do we make sense of the alphabet soup of protocols, standards, pieces, bits and flotsam that is agentic commerce, and how can make a future that is more cohesive and standardized? Here are five lessons I took away.
At the MCP Dev Summit 2026, Pedro Rodrigues, AI Tooling Engineer at Supabase, challenged a growing rift in the developer community. "People keep asking if they should build an MCP server or use Agent Skills," Rodrigues noted. "But that’s the wrong frame. They aren't competitors; they are the two halves of a working agent."
Since last year, we have created several open source projects: agentgateway, kagent, agentregistry, and agentevals. We also donated agentgateway, kagent, and agentregistry to vendor-neutral foundations under the Linux Foundation. These projects were not built for experimentation alone. They were driven by real internal needs as we improved operational efficiency with agentic AI at Solo.io and…
At the MCP Dev Summit, Aaron Wang, a software engineer at Duolingo, shared how the company went from a handful of engineers experimenting with MCP, to 250 weekly active users (about 30% of the company) in under six months. This is how they did it.
Over the past year, I’ve spent a lot of time in the trickiest parts of Model Context Protocol: authorization flows, security, and the messy reality of how clients behave in the wild. MCP is exciting, and for good reason: it gives AI systems a common way to connect to the rest of the software world.…
A deep dive into Alex Hancock's talk at MCP Dev Summit North America 2026 Alex Hancock opened his talk at MCP Dev Summit with a couple of questions for the audience. “How many people in the room have an idea for how MCP or agents could work better?” Nearly every hand went up. “Of those,…
At the MCP Dev Summit NA in New York on April 2–3, the Agentic AI Foundation brought together a roundtable with the MCP Project maintainers: Clare Liguori of AWS, David Soria Parra of Anthropic, Caitie McCaffrey of Microsoft, and Nick Cooper of OpenAI, with Stephen O’Grady of RedMonk moderating. The conversation covered the state of…
New York City · Agentic AI Foundation & Linux Foundation The biggest ideas and sharpest insights from MCP Dev Summit North America: where the builders, contributors, and organizations shaping the future of agentic AI came together in New York City. With 1,200 people at this year’s MCP Dev Summit (double from the previous one), it’s…
I've spent my career helping engineering teams build and ship systems that scale. That perspective shapes how I look at every new wave of technology. Agentic AI is moving fast, and we're at a point where demos won't cut it anymore. Developers are already building with agents in ways that would have felt out of…
We are at a clear inflection point in AI. For the past decade, we’ve watched AI evolve from research to real-world deployment. What’s happening now is different. Agentic AI is moving beyond isolated systems into something much larger: an interconnected ecosystem where autonomous agents collaborate, reason, and act across boundaries. This is the beginning of…
By Sam Partee, Co-founder & Head of AI Research, Arcade.dev, based on his joint talk with Harrison Chase (LangChain) at the Coding Agents: AI Driven Dev Conference — March 3, 2026 Coding agents are the foundation for every agent you'll ever build. The patterns for doing real work in the real world — persistent state,…
