    Figma restricts MCP server access to whitelisted clients●Figma restricts MCP access to whitelisted clients, excluding PiYhnWarMiddle East18321 min ago

    Figma has restricted access to its MCP (Model Context Protocol) server to a whitelist of approved clients, a move that excludes Pi. The policy means third-party AI coding tools outside the approved list can no longer connect directly to Figma's design data via MCP, drawing criticism from developers who relied on open access for AI-assisted workflows.

    A new open-source project called context-mode, written in TypeScript and published on GitHub by developer mksglu, targets context window optimization for AI coding agents. It claims to sandbox tool output for a 98% reduction, persist session memory across sessions, and enforce routing across 17 platforms using MCP and hooks. Developers tracking agent efficiency tools are picking it up as interest in managing context costs grows.

    Montgomery County schools face possible $1.5 million loss to internet funding●MCPS wary of changes to federal internet funding program that may lead to $1.5M lossβœ‰newsTechnologyInternetjust now

    Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland is warning that proposed changes to a federal program funding internet access could cost the district roughly $1.5 million. Officials say the loss could affect connectivity support for students and schools, and they are urging caution as the federal changes move forward. The district is monitoring how the funding shift would be implemented and what it would mean for local budgets.

    Open-source AI coding tool Pi 1.0 officially releasedβ–ΌThe free and open-source AI coding tool 'Pi 1.0' has been officially released, adding MCP support and the ability to switch between multiple AI models.βœ‰newsTechnologySoftware2 min ago

    Pi 1.0, a free and open-source AI coding assistant, has been officially released. The new version adds support for MCP (Model Context Protocol), letting the tool connect with external services, and allows developers to switch between multiple AI models rather than being locked to one provider. The release is being noted by developers interested in flexible, no-cost alternatives to commercial AI coding tools.

    GPTZero founder builds $30 million AI-detection businessβ–Ό'We don't want to be a policeman of the Internet': How a John McPhee student turned GPTZero into a $30 million AI-detection businessβœ‰newsTechnologyInternet4 h ago

    GPTZero, an AI-detection tool created by a former student of writing teacher John McPhee, has grown into a business valued at around $30 million. Its founder says the company does not want to act as a 'policeman of the Internet', positioning the tool as a service for detecting AI-generated text rather than an enforcer of online rules. The story highlights how quickly demand for AI-detection has grown in education and publishing.

    147 exposed MCP servers found online without authentication●A post about publicly exposed MCP servers (147 without authentication). https:// pluto.security/blog/wide-open- hundredsMmastodonTechnologyCybersecurity18 h ago

    Security researchers report hundreds of MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers are publicly reachable on the internet, with 147 requiring no authentication. The exposed instances allegedly offer access to root shells, production data, and citizen records, discoverable via search engines like Shodan. The findings highlight how rapidly deployed AI infrastructure is being left wide open, renewing warnings about securing AI tooling before sensitive data leaks.

    Cloudflare adds paid access for MCP tools●Cloudflare brings paid access to MCP tools β€” who controls the agent’s spending?βœ‰newsTechnologySoftware12 h ago

    Cloudflare has introduced paid access to MCP tools, meaning AI agents using the Model Context Protocol can now be charged for the services and data they call. The move raises the question of who controls and authorises an agent's spending when tools cost money. Discussion is focused on billing, budgets and oversight for autonomous agents.

    Figma has limited access to its Model Context Protocol server to a whitelist of approved clients, excluding Pi. The move, announced by a Figma employee, restricts which AI-powered development tools can connect to Figma's API for design data. Developers are debating whether the tighter controls protect the platform or close off an open ecosystem for AI tooling.
