MCP Dev Summit North America

With the recent specification update, MCP moved away from using DCR as the default in favor of Client ID Metadata Documents (CIMD). It's a new approach to client registration already adopted by such projects like Bluesky, and now making its way to the MCP ecosystem. CIMD is significantly easier to use than DCR while providing the same security guarantees and a much more flexible approach to client governance. In this session, you will learn about the transition from DCR to CIMD, how you should design your MCP servers (and MCP clients) around this new requirement, and what the future holds for broader CIMD adoption.
