Overview

• The MCP team launched a public preview of an official registry that offers an open catalog and API for discovering and installing MCP servers.
• The registry emphasizes federated discovery and mirroring by public marketplaces or private sub-registries, with a reference implementation and schema available on GitHub.
• Preview caveats include no durability guarantees and potential breaking changes, prompting guidance for defensive client integrations during this phase.
• The Linux Foundation accepted Solo.io’s Agentgateway, positioned as an AI‑native proxy and data plane that enforces authN/Z, rate limits, inspection, and emits telemetry via OpenTelemetry.
• A new DEV Community report details MintMCP’s gateway in private beta, which introduces a Virtual MCP to aggregate multiple servers, logs all MCP calls for real‑time observability, and applies deterministic policy controls as a proxy.
