MCP connector authentication for Claude Team and Enterprise plans is now GA. Admins centralize authorization through their identity provider, and users get automatic tool and data access without individual OAuth flows.
The enterprise-managed auth rollout for MCP connectors launches with support from Asana, Atlassian, Canva, Datadog, Figma, Granola, Linear, Notion, Slack, and Supabase. Third-party developers can also add enterprise-managed auth to their own connectors via the Claude directory.
Responding to user frustration about feeling nickel-and-dimed on usage, trq212 explains that Fable's launch brought an unexpected spike in both user count and per-user token consumption, making compute forecasting extremely difficult. Teams worked around the clock to manage risks like data center failures while gradually expanding access.
Prompt injection, one of the most common vectors for attacking agents, is described as a fundamentally solvable problem through a combination of alignment training and mechanistic interpretability. The framing is optimistic but grounded: it took years of research effort to get there.
In response to criticism that Anthropic should set firm low limits rather than offering extensions, trq212 asks whether users would actually prefer starting at 25% capacity with gradual increases rather than the current approach of 50% with extension options.
After a user reports spending $3,000 in a single month just to keep coding (up from a $200 plan that never hit limits), trq212 acknowledges the communication gap, says they aren't seeing broad increases in users hitting limits, and offers to follow up directly.
A user cites frustration with how Anthropic communicated the Fable rollout as the reason they switched to Codex, prompting trq212 to acknowledge that complacency is a real risk and that staying ahead means continuing to ship new things first.
Trq212 responds to user criticism by expressing appreciation for high standards and honest feedback, arguing that Anthropic's competitive advantage has historically been being first to figure out new paradigms like coding agents, skills, and MCP.
Cybersecurity refusals in Fable are a known pain point, and the team is actively working to reduce them. Importantly, the internal team uses the same version of Fable as external users, not a special unblocked build.
Coding is writing code; engineering is everything else on top of that. Strategic parts of engineering, like app maintenance, are already being automated at Anthropic and increasingly by customers, but the full scope of engineering remains a longer-horizon challenge.
