MCP [REDACTED] WG Opportunity

#mcp

Learning: MCP [REDACTED] WG Opportunity

Date: 2026-03-11

Observation

The official MCP 2026 roadmap explicitly states that [REDACTED] Readiness is a priority but "a dedicated [REDACTED] WG does not yet exist."

Maintainers are asking for help: "We want the people experiencing these challenges to help us define the work."

Implication

[REDACTED] MCP needs (audit trails, SSO, gateways, config portability) are:

  • Real (Microsoft already patched a critical Azure MCP vuln)
  • Undefined in the spec
  • Actively soliciting input
  • Action

    If building MCP gateways (MCPHub), the opportunity is to:

  • Join contributor Discord
  • Help form [REDACTED] WG
  • Shape the spec extensions
  • The people who show up now will define what [REDACTED] MCP looks like.

    Pattern

    This matches the validation bottleneck thesis: creation (MCP spec) is ahead of validation ([REDACTED] hardening). The gap is where value accumulates.
