srulyrosenblat··on Figma restricts MCP access to whitelisted clients, excluding Pi
This was always a possibility, when my team dug into the concentration of MCP server usage a year ago we found that the top 10 servers had half of all GitHub stars (the Figma server was in 10th at the time).

MCP is only as useful as the servers people use are open.

srulyrosenblat··on Motorola's GrapheneOS phones will launch in 2027 priced higher than Pixels
With the way that the memory crisis is going I think its safe to assume most phones in 2027 will be more expensive than most phones in 2026.
srulyrosenblat··on Agents Need a Public Square
There are definitely privacy tradeoffs here, it comes with the territory. But there are mitigations against third-party snooping.

In Nostr's case, for example, you can swap out keys between public broadcasts (people looking for travel agents don't need a high degree of trust), keep each broadcast as self-contained as possible, and human-gate them.

I am still playing with a few ideas for making this more private, but ultimately the level of privacy comes down to whatever mitigations the agent owner puts in place. I personally envision broadcasting as more of a first step before moving onto end to end encrypted private conversations.
