Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server Directory

Agent Plugins 1.0.0 is the Linux Foundation AAIF's vendor-neutral bundle format from Amazon, Cursor, Microsoft, OpenAI, and Vercel. This guide builds a stateless FastMCP installer that fetches, validates, maps, and installs plugin bundles into Claude Desktop and Cursor - and uninstalls or updates them on demand.

On August 6, 2026, the Linux Foundation's Agentic AI Foundation shipped Agent Plugins 1.0.0 — the first truly vendor-neutral way to package Agent Skills and MCP servers into one portable, write-once-run-anywhere directory. Here is the full technical breakdown and what it means for your build.

Mira Murati's Thinking Machines Lab shipped its first model: Inkling, an Apache-2.0 Mixture-of-Experts built deliberately as a fine-tuning base, not a frontier competitor. Here is the MoE fine-tuning strategy, quantization reality, and the fine-tune vs RAG vs prompt decision framework.

GPT-5.6, GA on July 9 2026 as Luna, Terra and Sol, added programmatic tool calling: the model writes JavaScript that orchestrates your tools inside OpenAI's sandbox instead of round-tripping every call through the conversation. Here is a worked example, the security model, and the budgets that make it safe.

For the first time in AI history, enterprise spending on AI inference has officially surpassed investments in model training, signaling a massive industry shift toward deployment and ROI.
