Google Open Source

In 2025, Google worked on AI agent standards like A2A, upstreamed security fixes with CodeMender, & supported 1.2k+ GSoC contributors. Check out our 2025 Open Source Retrospective! What tools shaped your year?

Open source runs on a small pool of maintainers—etcd & ingress-nginx showed what happens when it shrinks. @CloudNativeFdn's Merge Forward brings underrepresented groups into cloud native through 8 monthly community groups to build a more resilient supply chain. Link below ⬇️

modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk v1.7.0 is out! Maintained in collaboration with Google, the Go SDK now supports the latest MCP (stateless) protocol (2026-07-28): • Stateless execution • server/discover RPC • MRTR & OAuth session support Release notes 👇

Read the full technical timeline: huggingface.co/blog/agent-int…

Transparent post-mortems strengthen collective defense. Hugging Face's technical breakdown of an agent intrusion highlights a major win for open source: proprietary API models refused to parse exploit logs, locally hosted open-weights models (GLM-5.2) solved the forensic puzzle.

@emceeMCtwo We'll pass this along to the people working on this internally. Open source should allow for constant improvement.

@GoogleOSS Unfortunately all the instructions for all the tools are still loaded into context at the beginning of the session with `tools/list` 😥 unlike the progressive disclosure of the frontmatter in SKILL.md

The new Model Context Protocol spec (2026-07-28) is live! We’re honored to have co-led the Transport WG to introduce a stateless protocol core to MCP. Learning from scaling Google Cloud’s database MCP tools, this update brings greater reliability to everyone. Details below 🧵👇

Excited to keep building alongside the community and the Agentic AI Foundation to advance open standards for AI tools. 📖 Spec Announcement: aaif.io/blog/mcp-gradu… 🎙️ Transport WG Deep Dive: aaif.io/blog/stateless…

@beingsystems Agreed. It is very exciting to see AT Proto & ActivityPub in action along with other similar projects.

@GoogleOSS The real threshold is not decentralized servers. It is portable power: identity, relationships, history, and the right to choose an algorithm. A social protocol matters when users can leave without disappearing.

The open social web relies on community infrastructure to thrive. 🌐 We're reading up on the future of federated networks and the AT protocol. Which decentralized platform are you finding the most valuable right now? goo.gle/twios-16

Google contributors share how they're helping advance Apache Iceberg by improving the technologies behind modern data lakehouses. They highlight how collaboration through The Apache Way continues to strengthen the broader open source ecosystem. Read more: buff.ly/Jg7g1Ul
