MCP is moving from a single-user integration protocol to an enterprise-ready, cloud-native platform, with the new MCP 2026-07-28 specification set to replace legacy versions after a 12-month deprecation window. While the update removes several protocol-level risks, Akamai warns that security now depends much more on implementation quality, expanding exposure to issues like workflow hijacking, secrets leakage, XSS, and DoS attacks. #MCP #Akamai #Anthropic
