Google opened early access to a Home MCP server so MCP-capable agents (Claude, Hermes, OpenClaw, ChatGPT, Antigravity) can control Google Home/Nest devices and read event history. U.S. Premium Advanced subscribers set it up via a Google Cloud project plus agent OAuth; broader rollout timing is TBD.
Stanford’s Paper2Agent (Nature, Sept 16) converts a paper and its codebase into an MCP server so agents like Claude Code can reproduce analyses and run methods on new data in plain language. It’s MIT licensed, with demo servers for AlphaGenome and Scanpy on Hugging Face…
TradingView’s Sept 16 public beta MCP at https://mcp.tradingview.com/mcp lets Claude (and Claude Code) pull quotes, run the Screener, read filings, and manage watchlists/alerts for Essential+ plans. Beta data is delayed and rate limited; no API keys required for scripted analysis…
OpenRouter listed stealth/union alpha on Sept 16 as a free preview multimodal model aimed at coding and agentic workflows, with a 262K context window and image input. The third party provider stays anonymous for now; prompts may be retained but are not used for training…
Arcee closed a Series B led by Vista Equity, Cambium, and Emergence that values the open weight model startup above $1 billion (Fortune put the round at least $150M). It says its 2025 lineup, including 400B parameter Trinity Large, cost about $20M to train; funds go to next gen Trinity, DOE science models, and open model deploy tools…
Mustafa Suleyman told Reuters that Anthropic’s training of Claude on consciousness and model welfare could make advanced systems harder to shut down or control. He urged keeping such speculation out of training docs, arguing Claude’s first person reflections come from the training regime, not evidence of an inner life…
