Today I learned that @OpenAIDevs MCP client https://t.co/nhRPF6KVEf lists private_key_jwt for the token endpoint auth while the CIMD endpoint is actually public (auth=none). So your MCP OAuth must be able to skip private_key_jwt, if unsupported. MCP Related

Pretty cool to see your WordPress site as a connector in the Claude mobile app. It is a streamable-http MCP server by Agent Pilot plugin combined with OAuth Pilot for seamless auth. Also works with the official MCP-adapter feature plugin. MCP Anthropic Related

With Agent Pilot you can create and manage agent skills in WordPress (just like blog posts) and publish them as standard Agent Plugins. Now with OAuth Pilot you get one-click authentication for all the MCP clients (Claude, ChatGPT, etc). No more application passwords! MCP Anthropic Related

Co-founder and CEO of 37signals, makers of Basecamp and HEY; co-author of Rework, Remote and It Does Not Have to Be Crazy at Work.
Goodbye per-seat pricing. Per-user pricing has always rubbed me the wrong way. And in this agentic age, it feels downright antique. For the vast majority of the time Basecamp has been on offer, we never charged per-user. A few years ago we experimented with one pay-per-user plan, and that experiment just came to an end. And it couldn’t come at a better time. With the Basecamp CLI (and soon MCP, too), you can bring your agents to Basecamp as users too. Charging you for individual agents feels just as wrong as charging you for individual people. So today we have brand new pricing plans with NO… basecamp.com

Co-founder and CEO of Linear; previously principal designer at Airbnb, where he led the Design Language System, and founding designer at Coinbase.
Thanks @jasonlk! Lot to do still but: 1) @linear is used by pretty much by all major labs/ai companies out there 2) our MCP traffic grows 50% MoM 3) we have the most agent integrations and active usage than any platform like this (3rd party, in-house agents) 4) our AI revenue (loops, coding sessions) has grown about 500% per quarter 5) we are closing several public companies/enterprises each quarter to help them coordinate their agent work Quoting @HarryStebbings The Bull Case for Linear Being a $100BN Company: "Linear is the clear winner. They have built an agentic product first that allows us to build 100x more software, and that means 100x more features than ever before. Humans cannot keep up with it, and humans still have to work with agents. If every h… MCP Related

Co-founder and CEO of Stripe and co-founder of the Arc Institute. Keeps a personal site of reading lists, open questions and notes on scientific progress and how research is funded.
Between wallets for agents with @link (and @privy), MPP, Tempo, MCP, Stripe CLI, Agentic Commerce Suite, sandboxes, OpenRouter, Metronome/metered billing, Radar and distillation/token fraud, it turns out that "the economic infrastructure for AI" implicates a lot. Pretty much every layer of the Stripe stack is changing, and it’s a very good time to join if you want to build high-scale software that facilitates the practical deployment of this new intelligence.

Friendly tip for anyone vibe-coding a side project: instrument it. All of it — traces, metrics, logs, profiles. Send it to @grafana, hook up their MCP, and let the agent debug with real data instead of guessing. MCP Related

It's becoming normal practice to plug your coding agent into tools like Slack and helpdesk software to find customer insights. Turns out it's super inefficient, because you're just fetching and smashing raw strings into your context repeatedly. So we released a new MCP server that solves that. MCP Related

Swedish programmer with degrees in engineering and psychology, author of Your Code as a Crime Scene and founder of CodeScene.
I still meet people convinced that AI coding tools will soon reach a point where code quality, design, and even architecture are "solved". So I ran a small ad-hoc experiment. I’ve been working on a CLI tool and let agents plan and implement a first functionally correct version. I provided strict instructions around testing strategy, workflows, and implementation constraints. But I deliberately removed the @codescene MCP and the safeguards I normally rely on. Unsurprisingly, the resulting code suffered from a ton of problems. It would have been a shaky foundation to continue building on. How s… MCP Related

Their words
I think the main beauty is, is that models are really good at calling Unix commands. So if you just add another CLI, that's just another Unix command in the end. And MCP is… That has to be added in training. That's not a very natural thing for the model. It requires a very specific syntax. And the biggest thing, it's not composable.

Their words
The US will lead for some time on breakthroughs on disruptive technologies, the zero to one technologies that ultimately change the world. But innovation is a process. It goes from invention to production and commercialization and diffusion, diffusing technology throughout all parts of the economy. And on those two stages, I think that China has a unique advantage, even if it still can’t do the zero to one breakthroughs, because in the end, how much this technology is adopted by the countries and by the various parts of the economy is fundamentally crucial to how much productivity will be unleashed.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
