Google Adds Official MCP Support Across Key Cloud Services

🔌 Google announced fully-managed, remote support for Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling agents and standard MCP clients to access a unified, enterprise-ready endpoint for Google and Google Cloud services. The managed MCP servers integrate with services like Google Maps, BigQuery, GCE, and GKE to let agents perform geospatial queries, in-place analytics, and infrastructure operations. Built-in discovery, governance, IAM controls, audit logging, and Google Cloud Model Armor provide security and observability. Developers can expose and govern APIs via Apigee and the Cloud API Registry to create discoverable tools for agentic workflows.

GCE and GKE Security Dashboards Powered by SCC Now

🔒 Google has added integrated security dashboards to GCE and GKE consoles, powered by Security Command Center. The dashboards surface top security findings, vulnerability trends, CVE prioritization, and container/workload misconfigurations informed by Google Threat Intelligence and Mandiant analysis. Teams can remediate misconfigurations, prioritize patches, and monitor threats directly in their compute and cluster consoles. Full vulnerability and threat widgets require upgrading to SCC Premium (30‑day trial available).
