4.0.1 and 4.0.2 both landed August 11 cleaning up 4.0.0 fallout: 4.0.1 stopped forcing responseMode: "sse" on the HTTP handler because every response was riding an unreleased SSE stream, and 4.0.2 added a 60s AbortSignal.timeout() after stalled backend calls were inheriting undici's ~300s default (GitHub). They justified 60s with production data, these are vector queries with p99.9 around 3.2s. Companion [redacted] fixed silent anonymous fallback when stored OAuth tokens expired, which is the worst class of auth bug, the kind that degrades instead of failing.

upstash/context7 (60,590 stars) shipped @upstash/[redacted] on August 7 on the 2026-07-28 protocol revision. HTTP serving is now stateless for both modern and legacy clients, and Redis-backed sessions are gone, which is a real operational simplification for anyone self-hosting...
Enterprise-managed MCP allowlists shipped August 6 across the Copilot app, Copilot CLI and VS Code, configured with allowedMcpServers and deniedMcpServers in copilot/managed-settings.json inside the org's .github-private repo. Match by serverUrl with wildcards for remote HTTP/...
Three separate Anthropic changes over about two weeks point the same direction, and none of them announced themselves as a strategy. Claude Code 2.1.238 added claude self-hosted-runner --defer-shutdown-max-min, which keeps serving attached sessions on SIGTERM, parks whatever's...
Three things happened this month that only make sense together. Agent Plugins 1.0 shipped co-signed by six competitors: AWS, Anysphere, Microsoft, OpenAI, Vercel and Google (GitHub Changelog). It makes skills-plus-MCP bundles portable across clients. OpenAI's August 11 Codex c...

A Rust local HTTP proxy that translates Anthropic API calls into Cursor agent CLI invocations, reading your Cursor auth token from the macOS keychain and spawning Claude Code with proxy env vars set. MIT, 37 stars, 2 commits. It disclaims affiliation with both Anthropic and An...
