Build a Stateless MCP Server for the 2026-07-28 Specification

Inspired by the MCP 2026-07-28 specification (released July 28, 2026, stewarded by AAIF under the Linux Foundation), this dispatch builds stateless-mcp, a Python FastMCP server on the new stateless core: initialize and Mcp-Session-Id are gone, Mcp-Method/Mcp-Name headers drive routing, results carry ttlMs/cacheScope cache hints, MRTR (SEP-2322) handles elicitation, and the Tasks extension (SEP-2663) powers poll-based tasks/get.

Build a Cloudflare One AI Gateway MCP Server for Agent Traffic

Inspired by Cloudflare's August 5, 2026 Identity-Aware AI Gateway launch — which ties every outbound AI request to a verified Access identity via cf.user_id — plus the August 14, 2026 Cloudflare One MCP traffic detection wave (is_mcp selector, MCP Portal classification), this dispatch builds cloudflare-one-gateway-mcp, a FastMCP TypeScript server that registers agent identities, attaches identity headers, queries per-identity usage, sets model policies, and inspects detected MCP traffic.

Build a Polymarket MCP Server for Prediction-Market Agents with Paper-Trading Validation

SKALE's Agent Pit (Aug 12, 2026) established paper trading as the training ground for prediction-market agents. This MCP server — polymarket-mcp — gives agents the same discipline as a tool surface: read markets, order books, and positions in paper mode by default, then graduate to live orders only behind an explicit mode flag with position caps. Built with FastMCP in TypeScript with inputSchema JSON, mcpServers config, and an API-key security guide.

Build a Chainlink MCP Server for Agentic Onchain Data & Cross-Chain Transactions

Chainlink for Agents (Aug 14, 2026) made verified data feeds and CCIP cross-chain settlement first-class resources for autonomous AI agents. This MCP server — chainlink-mcp — exposes those resources as governed tools: read price feeds, check token balances, inspect cross-chain transfer status, and submit CCIP transfers behind an explicit approval gate. Built with FastMCP in TypeScript with full inputSchema JSON definitions, an mcpServers config, and an OAuth 2.0 / API-key security guide.

Build a PR & Media Monitoring MCP Server for Agentic Communications Teams

Inspired by Featured's July 2026 MCP server for PR agencies, this dispatch builds pr-media-mcp, a FastMCP TypeScript server that lets agents monitor press mentions, track journalist and outlet sentiment, manage pitch outreach queues, and draft response drafts. Read tools are always available; write tools — send pitch, update contact — are gated behind OAuth 2.0 scopes plus a human approval gate, and every action lands in an append-only audit trail.

Build an Insurance Agency Operations MCP Server for Quoting & CRM Workflows

Inspired by SUPERAGENT 3.0 (August 11, 2026), the AI business partner for insurance agencies, this dispatch builds agency-ops-mcp, a FastMCP TypeScript server exposing read-only quote data, policy and CRM lookup, and compliance status to agents. Write tools for quote generation and policy updates are gated behind OAuth scopes plus a human approval gate, and every action is written to an append-only audit trail.

Build a Read-Write Boundary MCP Server for Agentic Office Workflows

Inspired by Microsoft's June 30, 2026 read-write agent shift, this dispatch builds rw-boundary-mcp, a FastMCP TypeScript server wrapping office/document APIs. Read tools are always available; write tools require a scope token plus an approval gate, and every mutation is logged to an append-only audit trail.

Build a MongoDB Atlas MCP Server for Agentic Data Access & Vector Search

MongoDB launched the Atlas Managed MCP Server on August 14, 2026, making live operational data a first-class resource for AI coding agents. This guide builds atlas-mcp, a FastMCP TypeScript gateway that exposes read-only tools for querying Atlas collections and Atlas Vector Search, with inputSchema JSON contracts, result caps, field allowlists, and OAuth 2.0 / API-key security — the governed pattern teams need before agents touch production data.

Build a GitHub Actions Security MCP Server for Agent-Safe CI/CD

After Google deleted three ADK workflows (Aug 4, 2026) over an agent-to-agent privilege boundary failure in CI/CD, agent-safe pipelines are the security story of the summer. This guide builds gh-actions-sec, a FastMCP TypeScript server that gives agents read-only visibility into GitHub Actions posture: workflow permissions, secret exposure, action allowlists, and run logs — so a CI/CD agent can audit and harden pipelines without ever holding write credentials.

Build an SEC EDGAR MCP Server for Agentic Disclosure Monitoring

Financial teams in 2026 run agentic AI for continuous disclosure monitoring, and SEC EDGAR is the data source - keyless but governed by a 10 requests/second cap and a mandatory descriptive User-Agent. This guide builds edgar-mcp, a TypeScript MCP server wrapping EDGAR's full-text search, submissions, XBRL company facts, and RSS filing feeds with inputSchema contracts, caching, rate-limit compliance, and an agentic 8-K alert workflow.
