WorkOS MCP Night: The Holiday Special
Blog post from WorkOS
On December 10, 2025, MCP Night, The Holiday Special transformed the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco into a pivotal event for the AI ecosystem, marking the public unveiling of the Agentic AI Foundation, which now serves as the new home for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) under the Linux Foundation with backing from major companies such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Block, Microsoft, and Google. The event highlighted MCP's evolution from a project by Anthropic into a vendor-neutral, community-governed standard, with new protocol updates simplifying authentication and enabling asynchronous operations for more efficient workflows. Notable demonstrations featured companies like Supabase, Datadog, and Cloudflare, showcasing advancements such as natural language to SQL conversion and code generation, which proved to be more efficient than traditional tool calling. The Agentic AI Foundation, launching with 50 participating companies, promises to drive MCP's adoption as an industry standard, with its vendor-neutral governance removing barriers to enterprise adoption and fostering innovation in AI agent workflows.
