What is Speakeasy?

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.

What is WildFly?

WildFly's quarterly train is really a stability ladder, and OIDC keeps climbing it

WildFly is four majors into a metronomic release train — 38 through 41 in about eight months — where each cycle pairs a Beta with a Final roughly two weeks later that restates the same feature list. The substantive work splits cleanly in two: Jakarta EE 11 and MicroProfile spec implementations that land first in WildFly Preview, and an explicit stability ladder (preview to community to default) that individual features climb one release at a time. OIDC is the feature getting the most of that attention, with scope attributes, request/request_uri parameters, and logout each promoted across the last three cycles.

Speakeasy stopped inventorying MCP servers and started adjudicating them.

◆ Current state

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.

◆ Where it's heading

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.

◆ Prediction

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.

WildFly's quarterly train is really a stability ladder, and OIDC keeps climbing it

◆ Current state

WildFly is four majors into a metronomic release train — 38 through 41 in about eight months — where each cycle pairs a Beta with a Final roughly two weeks later that restates the same feature list. The substantive work splits cleanly in two: Jakarta EE 11 and MicroProfile spec implementations that land first in WildFly Preview, and an explicit stability ladder (preview to community to default) that individual features climb one release at a time. OIDC is the feature getting the most of that attention, with scope attributes, request/request_uri parameters, and logout each promoted across the last three cycles.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is consolidation rather than expansion: features already written are being graduated to supported status instead of new subsystems appearing. In parallel the runtime baseline is moving underneath users — 40.0.1 shipped container images for JDK 25 on UBI 10 and flagged it as the last release carrying JDK 17 images. Expect the EE 11 work now sitting in Preview to graduate into standard WildFly on the same ladder OIDC has been walking.

◆ Prediction

WildFly 42 should ship container images on JDK 21 and JDK 25 only, with the remaining Preview-stability EE 11 integrations promoted toward default.
