What is Workato?

Workato gives MCP proxies per-user OAuth and opens a UK data center with its agent stack.

Workato runs an agent layer (Genies, Agent Studio, AIRO, hosted MCP servers) on top of its enterprise automation platform. Since September's tool-level MCP RBAC GA and SOAP/XML work, it added OAuth to proxy MCP servers so each end user reaches upstream servers under their own identity, made a UK data center GA with Agent Studio and Enterprise MCP at launch, and shortened API Platform OAuth2 credentials from 64 to 50 characters.

What is Z-Wave JS UI?

Z-Wave JS UI 11.26 picks up zwave-js 15.32 and finishes the move to Node 24.

Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. 11.26.0 bumps zwave-js to 15.32.1 and moves the TypeScript base config to Node 24, completing the move that started with the Node 24 Docker image in 11.25.0. 11.25.2 had fixed self-signed certificates Node 24 rejected.

DEVOPS
5.0

Workato gives MCP proxies per-user OAuth and opens a UK data center with its agent stack.

◆ Current state

Workato runs an agent layer (Genies, Agent Studio, AIRO, hosted MCP servers) on top of its enterprise automation platform. Since September's tool-level MCP RBAC GA and SOAP/XML work, it added OAuth to proxy MCP servers so each end user reaches upstream servers under their own identity, made a UK data center GA with Agent Studio and Enterprise MCP at launch, and shortened API Platform OAuth2 credentials from 64 to 50 characters.

◆ Where it's heading

The agent platform is being made deployable for regulated enterprises: per-user identity on MCP calls, per-tool access control and regional data residency for the full AI stack. The connector catalog keeps tilting toward agent infrastructure such as search, scraping and vector stores.

◆ Prediction

Expect the AI stack to reach more regional data centers and per-user identity to extend from MCP proxies to other agent tooling; the entries do not show a timeline for either.

Z5.0

Z-Wave JS UI 11.26 picks up zwave-js 15.32 and finishes the move to Node 24.

◆ Current state

Z-Wave JS UI mostly tracks the zwave-js driver. 11.26.0 bumps zwave-js to 15.32.1 and moves the TypeScript base config to Node 24, completing the move that started with the Node 24 Docker image in 11.25.0. 11.25.2 had fixed self-signed certificates Node 24 rejected.

◆ Where it's heading

Releases follow upstream zwave-js versions, with occasional UI feature releases like 11.25.0 in between. Device support changes arrive through the driver rather than the UI.

◆ Prediction

Expect further zwave-js patch bumps; a UI-level feature release is less predictable from this feed.
