2026 has seen the biggest update to the MCP spec, the addition of extensions, and the emergence of Agent Skills as an alternative approach. As the year comes to an end, let's take a look back at everything MCP has been through this year, and look ahead to 2027.
We'll see how going stateless has affected the project and ecosystem, cover the latest in authorization and identity, and consider how the ever-changing agent landscape needs to be served by the protocol.
By the end, we'll have a picture not just of where MCP has been, but of the problems it still needs to solve and what the protocol might become in 2027.
