MCP for Microscopes, and Your Agent's Fake ID | 01 Sep 26

Anthropic's Model Hardware Standard puts robot arms and lab instruments behind one standardized driver — we break down what a driver actually is and why standardizing an interface turns N-times-M integrations into N-plus-M. Then NIST's new paper on agent identity, why static API keys are house keys and short-lived scoped credentials are hotel keycards, McKinsey's finding that 32% of orgs have skipped buying software they could build with coding agents, plus quick hits on Claude Code 2.1.252 and Cursor's SCM-free cloud agents. Hosts: Alex & Jules. New episodes daily.
