Roadmap
Where MAK4I is today, and where it's headed
The current focus is Developer Preview & Validation: a working reference implementation is running, and the near-term priorities are external testing, developer experience, and independent integrations. The specification keeps evolving alongside it. The phases below are not strictly sequential, and nothing is marked shipped until it actually works.
- 0Complete
Phase 0
Foundation
Public repository, protocol design, problem statement and vision — published and iterating with community feedback.
- 1Ongoing
Phase 1
Protocol Specification
The MAK4I specification continues to evolve: portable context structures, lifecycle behavior, provenance, versioning and interoperability requirements, refined alongside the reference implementation and community RFCs.
- 2Working in MVP
Phase 2
Reference Implementation
A working reference implementation (MVP) covers the core protocol workflow end to end — create, retrieve, search, supersede, version history and provenance, with CLI and MCP access. A hosted Developer Preview of it is running. Hardening and expansion continue.
- 3Planned
Phase 3
Reusable Artifacts
Expand support across artifact categories and validate reuse workflows with developers and early design partners.
- 4Planned
Phase 4
Hosted Registry
A hosted registry for discovering, versioning and sharing artifacts across organizations, with governance and access controls.
- 5Working in MVP
Phase 5
MCP Integration
Initial MCP integration is working in the reference implementation today — MAK4I can be accessed through MCP. Native registry-level MCP and broader interoperability work remain ahead.
