Prefect

fastmcp 4.2.0a1 is out: skill issue. serve skills over mcp alongside your tools. point fastmcp at your skills folder; clients can discover and download them. uv add --upgrade 'fastmcp==4.2.0a1' --prerelease=allow

skills travel through mounts and proxies, too. clients can discover skills across servers and save them locally. enable skill discovery on a proxy with skills=True.

It’s almost time for dbt Summit 2026, and we’ve got Prefect, Dagster, and FastMCP people all in one booth. Find us for demos, conversations about orchestrating dbt, data assets, MCP, and a****** workflows. + some customizable swag Link in comments for more. *The a-word is agentic, obviously.

fastmcp v4 is now generally available it supports the 07-28 MCP spec and comes with lots of QoL and only a few breaking changes its still fast, and its still MCP

"I'm something of an admin myself." On the latest episode of FastMCP Pod, Jeremiah Lowin walks through MCP authentication / authorization and how FastMCP actually checks you out. Full episode in the comments below ⤵️

C is for Context. And that's not good enough for most people. "Context" gets confusing fast. Context window, context engineering, model context, server context... one word doing a dozen jobs. So we gave it a whole episode. @jlowin.dev and Radhika pull the meanings apart, one at a time. Link Below.

The DAG is dead. Long live the DAG. Same name, new job. The old workflow graph cared about how work got done. @jlowin.dev take at PyData London: graph the outcome. Stop auditing the loop and audit what falls out of it. Full keynote talk from PyData London below ⤵️

Running MCP with no gateway? Crazy. Running across the Grand Canyon and back? Somehow less crazy?! Fokke Dekker and Zach Angell talk Prefect Horizon, our enterprise MCP gateway, on Prefect's annual morning run before all-hands. Get a secure MCP server URL, free. Link Below →

We're in a new season of the FastMCP Pod and we're calling it Summer School. Everyone says "MCP gateway." Almost no one means the same thing by it. So we're going back to class. Jeremiah Lowin @jlowin.dev and Radhika Gulati get into what it actually is. Full Class recording in the comments ⤵️

We are taking the wheel... of your dbt DAG. In the demo below, see how the new Prefect dbt Orchestrator reads your project and runs it model-by-model. Demo and resources in the 🧵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH9l...

Day two of three. See the full launch week: www.prefect.io/launch

Friends don't let friends re-run unchanged SQL. It’s Day 2 of launch week and today we're launching the Prefect dbt Orchestrator. Every model, seed, test, and snapshot runs as a Prefect task. Caching, per-node retries, and the same alerting your other Prefect work uses.

4. dbt inherits Prefect’s orchestration primitives The same caching, retries, alerting, and visibility you use for Prefect flows now apply to dbt workloads.

2. The DAG keeps moving when a model fails A staging model fails. Prefect retries that node without restarting the entire build. Other branches keep running.

Does running a Python function on Kubernetes just by adding @kubernetes on top of it sound too good to be true? Not to worry, we have a demo. Infrastructure Decorator resources in the 🧵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xyv8...

Three days of shipping starts today with Infrastructure Decorators. See the launch schedule: www.prefect.io/launch
