Claude Code v2.1.259: managedMcpServers lets admins push org MCP servers (HTTPS/HTTP/SSE only)
Claude Code v2.1.259 adds managedMcpServers so admins can push MCP servers to every developer machine. Validation allows only HTTPS/HTTP/SSE transports and rejects command/env stdio servers, keeping code-running local MCP on the machine while enabling safer org-wide managed configs.

Anthropic replaces git with in-house Scion: daily merges grew from ~2,500 to 30,000+, and a 7-person team migrated the monorepo in five months
On Oct 13 Anthropic's engineering blog said merges grew from about 2,500 per day in May 2026 to more than 30,000 in September, making human-scale git infrastructure its biggest bottleneck. A seven-person team built Scion, an always-online version control system, plus the Antique code-review tool, and fully migrated the monorepo off git in five months. Scion's footprint is 200x smaller in CPU and memory than the old git mirrors, CI checkouts went from minutes to seconds, and CI gained 25% CPU capacity. Scion is not being open-sourced; Anthropic wants to work with GitHub, GitLab and the OSS community to bring the ideas to git.
