AWS published a technical breakdown of an MCP bridge that connects cloud-hosted AI agents on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore to MCP servers running on a user's local machine. The architecture, used internally in a finance assistant with over 41,000 conversations in its first year, tunnels MCP JSON-RPC messages through WebSocket and browser native messaging.

Cline's SDK v0.0.67 pulls reasoning effort and budget controls from the models.dev catalog to match each provider's actual capabilities, while fixing a bug that forced redundant re-compaction calls on every turn. The release also adds session forking for editing earlier prompts and makes MCP server timeouts configurable.

AWS has released AgentCore, a new platform for hosting and running voice-based AI agents, integrated with Amazon Nova 2 Sonic for real-time speech capabilities. The platform uses the open Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect agents to backend systems and deploys each conversation in isolated microVMs.

Apple has released an MCP server for Safari Technology Preview 247 that allows AI coding agents to directly inspect and debug websites.
