  Companies like PlanetScale and Oracle are providing curated libraries of Skills that allow AI coding assistants, such as Claude Code or Cursor, to interact directly with databases. Skills, Skills, Skills...the latest buzzword in this era of AI induced coding practices. This time they come for the Database to enable agents to perform complex tasks like automated schema optimization, security audits and CSV data ingestion with higher precision and lower token consumption. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/18846-agentic-skills-for-the-database-.html

  Introducing an implementation of the Model Context Protocol within Kali Linux to create AI-driven cybersecurity workflows. MCP just about dominates the current tech news. MCP servers and clients are released for every possible tool and application. Now it's time for pentesters to rejoice as a server has been released that automates the most tedious pentesting tasks with the availability of MCP Kali Server (MKS),  a lightweight API bridge that connects MCP clients (such as Claude Desktop or 5ire) to an API server which allows executing commands on a Linux terminal. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/18776-automating-kali-linux-with-the-model-context-protocol.html

  pgEdge has launched a hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects its database platform directly to AI development tools like Claude and Cursor. So what can you do with it? https://www.i-programmer.info/news/84-database/18724-pgedge-mcp-server-for-postgres.html

  PlanetScale has launched a hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects its database platform directly to AI development tools like Claude and Cursor. So what can you do with it? https://www.i-programmer.info/news/84-database/18693-the-planetscale-mcp-server-announced.html

  Agentic AI and MPC are coming on strong in the database market. After the likes of Postgres and Oracle, now it's MongoDB's turn to incorporate MCP. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/18540-mongodb-now-does-mcp.html

  A new course, thanks to Andrew Ng and his partnership with Box, that shows how you can leverage MCP servers to offload otherwise laborious and custom-made work. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/150-training-a-education/18489-build-ai-apps-with-mcp-servers-with-deeplearningai.html

  The official release of Vaadin MCP server is a reality. What does it make different? Yes I'm a fan of Vaadin. I've used it in a couple of projects and productivity was sky high. For those not initiated to the framework, Vaadin allows you to write Java code for the front-end and back-end; no Javascript required, which is an unlikely dream for full stack engineers that nevertheless turned to reality. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/80-java/18481-vaadin-now-does-mcp.html

  Google brings the power of Chrome DevTools to AI coding assistants with its Chrome DevTools Model Context Protocol server, now in public preview.  https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/18416-chrome-devtools-to-benefit-from-mcp.html

  Google's open source MCP server that allows AI agents to interact with SQL databases. The difference betweenm it and other MCP to SQL servers is that it takes out complexities such as connection pooling, authentication and observability so that the developer can solely focus on implementing the logic of his Agents https://www.i-programmer.info/news/89-net/18364-googles-mcp-toolbox-for-databases.html

  GitHub has just announced the GitHub MCP Registry, a new home base for discovering and building with MCP servers. Truth is that since MCP came in the limelight, there's been tons of MCP servers for any task imaginable coming out daily. That means that many good servers go undiscovered, others are simply not discoverable and others are just not worth it. Github understood those developer pain points and has thus founded the official MCP registry for hosting a curated collection of MCP servers, making it easy to discover and plug into them. Some of the first curated partners appearing on the registry include Figma, Postman, HashiCorp, and Dynatrace. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/18333-find-your-next-mcp-server-with-githubs-mcp-registry.html

  Oracle adds MCP support to two of its flagship tools, SQLcl and  SQL Developer for VS Code, in an attempt to simplify user interaction with the database. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/84-database/18289-oracle-database-adds-mcp-tooling-support.html

  Strands is a new Python SDK from Amazon that aims to shorten the time required for developing agentic AI applications. If MCP wasn't enough, now there's Agents everywhere! Agentic AI promises to go beyond simple MCP cases and enable task completions with complex coordinated workflows. As such, SDKs have started to appear to help build such agents. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/18265-aws-open-sources-strands-agents-.html

  This is the general availability of the Java's interface to Google's Agent Development Kit, the toolkit for building smart AI agents. Google Agent Development Kit or ADK for short, is a flexible and modular framework for developing and deploying AI agents that promises an easier and more streamlined workflow for developers. While it integrates seamlessly with Google's products and especially Gemini, it's model and deployment agnostic thus it can be integrated to other agentic frameworks as well. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/80-java/18258-java-agent-development-kit-goes-ga.html

  MCP has changed the way you interact with your tools overnight. Now it targets your documentation. Wouldn't be great to have the latest and updated code samples and documentation of your favorite framework and libraries ready at your fingertips? Plus, be able to talk to it in natural language? https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/18248-with-mcp-docs-servers-youll-never-run-out-of-fresh-documentation-.html

  MCP has taken the industry by storm just one year after its appearance. And now we have an MCP Summit, run by the trend setters themselves! https://www.i-programmer.info/news/99-professional/18170-mcp-developers-summit-the-talks.html

  This course, provided by Microsoft, is based on a Github repository full of invaluable information that introduces MCP, Model Context Protocol, to beginners https://www.i-programmer.info/news/105-artificial-intelligence/18137-mcp-for-beginners-course.html

 Understand a Github repository by using three different MCP solutions. Github Chat MCP, Git MCP and the official Github MCP Server. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/18080-three-tools-to-run-mcp-on-your-github-repositories.html

  Model Context Protocol is now taking control over Windbg and Ghidra to automate the tedious tasks that reverse engineers have to go through in their day-to-day work. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/90-tools/18066-mcp-for-debugging-and-reverse-engineering-.html

  Now you can make MCP clients and servers with C# thanks to the release of the official SDK. Do note however that it is currently in preview and that breaking changes can be introduced without prior notice. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/89-net/18024-official-c-sdk-for-model-context-protocol-announced.html
