Model Context Protocol
3 Tools · 6 Intel
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source standard, introduced by Anthropic in November 2024, that defines a common interface for connecting large-language-model applications to external data sources and tools. The `modelcontextprotocol` GitHub organization hosts the protocol specification, SDKs for over a dozen languages, a server registry, and reference server implementations. The project is now stewarded under the Linux Foundation with contributions from a broad developer community.

Release notes for the MCP TypeScript SDK 1.30.0, covering zod issue prioritisation and formatting, OIDC trusted publishing in CI, a new end-to-end test suite and a stdio buffer limit.
MCP TypeScript SDK 2.4.0 adds Skills over MCP (loadSkills, SkillsClient), an opt-in scope parameter for OAuth refresh with Microsoft Entra ID, and stricter validation that can break existing tools. Upgrade notes list the behavior changes.
The MCP TypeScript SDK client 2.4.0 adds an opt-in scopeForRefresh hook for authorization servers that reject scopeless refreshes, such as Entra ID. It also ships a SkillsClient for the new Skills extension (SEP-2640) with integrity verification.
The MCP TypeScript server SDK 2.4.0 adds the Skills extension (SEP-2640): SkillsExtension serves skills/list and skills/get, loads skills from a folder, and validates them. ServerEvent also gains optional params so gateways can forward notifications.
The MCP servers v2.1.0 release patches eight vulnerabilities across the filesystem, everything, and fetch servers, including symlink-swap writes escaping allowed directories and path checks that differ from the paths actually used. Windows is only partly fixed.
The MCP reference servers hit 2.0.0. The TypeScript servers migrate to TS SDK v2 and support the modern-era spec while still serving legacy-era clients. The Python fetch, git and time servers ship on a date-versioned release.
