Moreover, we will present a curated list of articles, blog posts, and notes talking about CVM and how it is changing the way we interact with MCP servers.

Finally, we will bring the most interesting news from the internet regarding the MCP ecosystem, AI agents, and more!

Let’s start!

§News from ContextVM 📰

A list of updates, releases and new cool features.

Never too big: We recently merged CEP-22, a new proposal that allows CVM to publish a message to a realy even if its payload exceedes the size limits of a relay.

This change was also included in the latest release of the TypeScript SDK, with v0.8.0 being published soon after the new specification was formalized. CVMI was also updated in v0.2.8, bumping the SDK release to the latest one.

Relatr v0.2.x family: Relatr has just undergone a major refactoring, which aimed to redesign the way the plugin system works. Plugins are one of the foundational parts that make Relatr what it is now, strongly impacting its core algorithm. Thus, the goal was to build the system such that anyone would be able to create, share, install, and distribute plugins directly through Nostr.

§What’s Next for ContextVM? ⏭️

Let’s take a look at the features currently being implemented!

CEP-15: This enhancement proposal implements a standard for defining and discovering common tool schema. This aims to enable interoperability between multiple servers, standardizing tool interfaces that clients can recognize and use consistently. It leverages MCP’s _meta field, RFC 8785 for deterministic hashing, and CEP-6 announcements for discovery, creating a marketplace where users can choose between multiple providers implementing the same standard tool interface.

Two new CEPs are currently being worked on by our students from SoB program:

CEP-23: This enhancement proposal aims to standardize the way in which MCP servers publish a persistent public profile and how they manage a public communication channel for updates and announcements.

CEP-24: This enhancement proposal aims to standardize how users attach comments and reviews to server announcements. This would allow to create a Nostr-native review and discussion layer around servers.
