Q2 2026 MCP metrics show 9,400 published servers across four major registries (+58% QoQ sustained three quarters), with 78% of enterprise AI teams reporting at least one MCP-backed agent in production. Remote MCP servers are up 4x since May. The 6-month forecast projects 14,800–22,000 servers by year-end. However, competing auth standards (MCP-bot-id, MCP-OAuth, MCP-mTLS) are creating procurement friction as enterprises demand standardization.
