- 08-04 Anthropic: A four-month silence, then told to resubmit from scratch
Developer Josh Symonds documented a dated timeline of his MCP connector submission to Anthropic's directory: filed 2026-03-22, told as late as 06-15 it was "in the review queue," then informed on 07-30 the queue had been discarded and he would need to resubmit — against OpenAI approving the same connector for its own directory in 29 days. It is a single account, not an Anthropic-confirmed pattern, but it is the first concrete stranded-integrator story since the MCP spec went stateless.
