The AI Agent node fix preserves Anthropic thinking blocks with empty text across tool calls (#38302), a shape that otherwise breaks multi-turn extended-thinking conversations (GitHub). Core changes: executing MCP toolkit members on workers, enforcing the execution timeout for stuck jobs in queue mode (#36258), bounding the wait for the workflow publication lock, allowing a fallback model alongside the primary on AI nodes, merging system messages for strict providers, and consolidating secret redaction in @n8n/utils. The queue-mode timeout and publication-lock bound are the ones to read if you run n8n at scale.

MCPConfig(stateless=True) serves /mcp with no session tracking, so any replica answers any request. The cost is server-initiated notifications and SSE resumability, which is why it's off by default. MCPTools(protocol_mode=...) picks the protocol era to negotiate, defaulting to...

Three separate Anthropic changes over about two weeks point the same direction, and none of them announced themselves as a strategy. Claude Code 2.1.238 added claude self-hosted-runner --defer-shutdown-max-min, which keeps serving attached sessions on SIGTERM, parks whatever's...
Anthropic invented a file convention. It's now shipping GA inside a competitor's product. Nobody wrote a spec, nobody held a standards meeting, it just happened. On July 29, GitHub made agent skills and MCP server support generally available in Copilot code review for all Pro,...
