InfoQ: AGNTCon + MCPCon 2026: Agentic AI Foundation Adds Four Projects as MCP Turns to Security
At AGNTCon + MCPCon 2026 in San Jose, the Agentic AI Foundation added four projects, bringing its total to ten in its first year. Speakers focused on MCP security and identity, including stateless servers, tool annotations, and agents carrying their own identity. Many figures were stage claims without published data, and some security extensions are still drafts.
What changes for platform teams
Platform teams running MCP servers should annotate every tool, keep tool schemas small, and plan for agents that authenticate with their own identity rather than a borrowed user token. The security and identity extensions discussed are still drafts, so no settled controls can be relied on yet.
