Speakeasy stopped inventorying MCP servers and started adjudicating them.
Speakeasy ships near-daily platform releases with unusually legible notes — each headline states what changed for a user, not a version number. The current one turns the Shadow MCP page into a single review surface where every server carries an approval state and an automatically gathered evidence dossier: publisher, requested scopes, declared capabilities, maintenance signals, and whether internal teams already talk to it. Decisions enforce on record. Around it, the assistant surfaces have been consolidating: one detail panel for configuration and observation, exact session totals, and canonical identities folding a person's work and personal AI accounts together.
A self-hosted DNS server that grew an enterprise identity layer.
Technitium shipped its v15 line in April 2026 and has been iterating on it steadily since, with four point releases in under three months. The defining change was Single Sign-On via OpenID Connect, and nearly every release after it has gone back to sand down that same surface — SSO scopes, SSO implementation fixes, new Settings options. Release notes are thin pointers to a CHANGELOG file, so the granular detail lives outside the feed.

The arc runs observe, then intercept, now adjudicate. Earlier releases catalogued spend and inventoried shadow MCP servers; the LiteLLM integration moved enforcement to the proxy so a violating prompt dies before inference; this release supplies the judgment layer, doing the research an approver would otherwise do by hand. The supporting work points the same way — prompt-injection scanning of captured skill manifests, risk policies that pause instead of being deleted, identity resolution that reports a whole person rather than an account. Each is a piece a control plane needs before its verdicts can be trusted.
Expect approval state to start gating traffic rather than only recording a decision, and the evidence dossier to extend from MCP servers to the skills and assistants already being captured. The rollout flag on the approval workflow suggests general availability is the next step rather than new capability.

The work is consolidating around administration and access control rather than DNS resolution itself. A self-hosted DNS server adding OIDC and scope configuration is positioning for multi-admin and organizational deployments, not the single-operator homelab it started in. The steady cadence of small Settings additions suggests configuration surface is being expanded on user request rather than to a fixed roadmap.
Expect continued hardening of the SSO path and more granular Settings options in the v15.x line. The entries don't indicate what a v16 would contain.
