The MCP project announced governance changes on April 8: Den Delimarsky promoted to Lead Maintainer, Clare Liguori joining as Core Maintainer bringing agent-runtime and developer-tooling expertise. Key enterprise pain points identified: Streamable HTTP sessions fighting load balancers, no standard server-capabilities registry, missing audit trails, and no SSO-integrated auth. The Triggers & Events working group is tackling unsolicited tasks and the agent execution model — critical for production multi-agent deployments.
