# MCP Moves to the Linux Foundation. Its Governance Infrastructure Hasn't Caught Up.

*May 20, 2026*

[Read on the website](<https://current.tinyfish.ai/issue/30/market-pulse/article/16979/mcp-moves-to-the-linux-foundation-its-governance>)

Eighteen months from Anthropic side project to Linux Foundation stewardship. MCP now sits under the Agentic AI Foundation, co-founded by Anthropic, Block, and OpenAI, with platinum backing from AWS, Google, and Microsoft. The adoption numbers are real: 97 million monthly SDK downloads, over 10,000 published servers, Pinterest reporting 7,000 engineering hours saved per month.

The 2026 roadmap names enterprise readiness as a top priority. But a dedicated Enterprise Working Group doesn't exist yet. The roadmap explicitly asks practitioners to come build one. Audit trails, SSO-integrated auth, gateway behavior, configuration portability: all pre-RFC, meaning no specifications, no implementations. Governance is scaling slower than the protocol it's supposed to govern. A familiar pattern in this ecosystem, playing out again at the foundation layer.
