FastMCP 4 is stable and generally available, with support for the new MCP 2026-07-28 protocol: stateless requests, interactive tools, background tasks, extensions, and more. Old clients keep working.
Auth is the part of MCP people complain about most. We work through the difference between authentication and authorization, why local servers never needed either, and how MCP's auth story went from miserable to workable.
One viral tweet sent agent land scrambling to learn graph theory. We go back to school on what a directed agentic graph is, why loops fall short, and how graphs let you trade control for autonomy on purpose.

An agentic security questionnaire workflow on Prefect Cloud with full observability, a self-improving knowledge base, and human review built in.
Prefect's approach to durable execution decouples results from workflow identity, enabling cross-workflow caching and exactly-once semantics through composable primitives.
At Prefect, we trigger dbt the moment Fivetran syncs finish—no cron, no waiting. Here's how to wire it up with Fivetran webhooks and Prefect events.
From PowerPoint to Python: How FastMCP replaces traditional knowledge work tools with composable, version-controlled workflows for data engineers.
How we migrated from a CMS to agent-native content operations: 25M tokens, 290 commits, and a category change in how fast we can ship.
Regulated industry engineers: Learn how Prefect's patented, two-component hybrid architecture isolates your code and data to meet strict FedRAMP, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS compliance. Discover the three deployment options (Hybrid, PrivateLink, Customer-Managed) that solve for every requirement—without compromising control.
