The WG's proposed priorities for the core-maintainer roadmap, per the Jul 27 meeting. Three tracks, in priority order: 1. **Graduate the Server Card as an official MCP extension** — gated on merging an SDK reference impl (Python [python-sdk#2951], Go [go-sdk#1024], TS [typescript-sdk#2527]), landing best practices ([#40]/[#36]), and keeping the GitHub showcase ([#34]) in sync. 2. **Describe what a server does, not just where to reach it** — the primitives / static-capability work ([#30]), framed around the problem: a card lists URLs but no operations for consumers that never connect. 3. **Authentication** — express real-world per-remote auth ([#13]); land a limited shape first, expand as a fast-follow. Kept deliberately short as a strawman for public comment. Docs-only; `format:check` passes.

# Server Cards: Roadmap Priorities
|
|
|
|
The Server Card working group's proposed priorities for the core-maintainer
|
|
roadmap. Maintainers are consolidating the roadmap around an upcoming spec
|
|
release. These are the three themes, in priority order, we want carried into that
|
|
roadmap.
|
|
|
|
## 1. Unlock MCP Discovery
|
|
|
|
The next step is to graduate the Server Card to an official MCP extension as
|
|
Server Cards are still experimental. [SEP-2127] is in review, and the
|
|
Extensions Track ([SEP-2133]) also requires a merged SDK reference implementation.
|
|
Getting to an accepted, adoptable extension is the top priority. This will
|
|
unlock MCP as a part of a discoverable web of agents.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Describe what a server does
|
|
|
|
A card today says _where_ to connect but not _what_ the server can do. That
|
|
blocks consumers from using Server Cards for richer discovery and informing
|
|
end users of what to expect. `server/discover` and list endpoints are
|
|
frequently gated by auth, so an enriched server card would help significantly.
|
|
Primitives were deliberately removed from the card ([PR #19]); this track
|
|
revisits adding them back for static discovery.
|
|
|
|
## 3. Authentication
|
|
|
|
Cards need to express real-world auth well enough that a client can actually
|
|
connect. Auth is per-remote and varies across endpoints, and reviewers have
|
|
raised scenarios the current shape doesn't cover ([#13], core-spec
|
|
[PR #2742][pr2742]).
