Google Cloud has put its CLI behind a managed remote MCP server in public preview, letting Gemini Enterprise and other agents call gcloud and BigQuery commands without installing local binaries. The 30 September announcement emphasises caller-scoped IAM, isolated execution and audit logging. Teams should still govern which commands agents can run and verify preview limitations before production use.
Claude opens a submission portal for third-party plugins
Anthropic has opened a developer portal for submitting plugins to the Claude directory. Paid-plan developers can submit an MCP connector or a bundle of connectors and skills, see validation and safety feedback, then publish after approval. Usage and discovery analytics are included. The change creates a clearer route to distribution, while review and enterprise permission controls remain important.

GlideOS now exposes its app-building tools through an MCP server, allowing Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT and other compatible agents to create or edit Glide apps today. Connections inherit the user's organisation and plan access, while permissions and separate provider billing shape how teams control automated work.
