MCP Server | PowerShell Universal Enable a model context protocol server.

#PowerShell Universal 5.7 nightly has an **experimental plugin** for a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to allow you to hook agents like @github.com CoPilot directly into your PowerShell scripts. docs.powershelluniversal.com/platform/plu...

I wouldn't be surprised if we have a lot of gnarly linq code like that, but our code base is so large in RDM I have no idea how we could pinpoint something like that

Microsoft to Finally Improve and then Open Source the Windows App SDK The Windows App SDK is the most recent evolution of the native Windows app development platform. But it's been largely ignored by Microsoft.

Why "Windows App" instead of "Remote Desktop" is dumb: reading a title like "Microsoft to Finally Improve and then Open Source the Windows App SDK" makes you think Microsoft would offer an open source SDK to their RDP client, when it's just an SDK for Windows apps. www.thurrott.com/dev/324106/m...

I'm looking for a cross-platform alternative to System.Drawing that is easy to import from PowerShell. It's the old problem of nuget packages being easily available to C# projects, but not so much to PowerShell projects unless you build a C# project locally, or publish a PowerShell wrapper module

I'm using Hyper-V VMs and WSL2 for my daily workflows on Windows. It has its pros and cons, let's just say the Hyper-V core is great but the *local* management interface GUI needs some love. I use the PowerShell management interface a lot with collections of scripts

Nice improvement done today thanks to Claude: I gave it sample input and output images for my blog post banners, with very explicit specifications on colors, positions, sizes, etc., and it managed to create a PowerShell script to generate visually identical banner images! No more manual edits 👇

Why is the PowerShell Ubuntu repository only for x64 and not arm64? It's so annoying to download and extract the .tar.gz from GitHub Releases instead of just installing the .deb package which exists for x64. I'm not sure what's the hold on this, it's been like this for years already

Interesting, have you thought about making it an MCP inspector? It's using JSON-RPC

Have you used ProcMon to see if there isn't some weird permission issue?

As for customer support, I can't believe I'm saying this: where's the paid premium support for cases like this? Free support is fine, but when your business gets deindexed by mistake, there's certainly a will to pay to escalate the issue.

General guidelines to ensure your content gets indexed is useless when the Bing Webmaster Tools keep telling you everything is fine when it's not. It could at least tell if you're being deindexed, inviting you to contact customer support if you think it happened by mistake, etc.

To make matters worse, we could successfully submit our sitemaps for indexing. Everything in Bing Webmaster Tools was reporting success *except* that big red scary warning about being unable to fetch our sitemaps. That and the data showing our Bing impressions flatlining like a heart attack

Before we figured out we had been deindexed, we had a whole bunch of people pulling their hair trying to figure out if we had somehow broke the domain validation in a way that prevented Bing Webmaster Tools from pulling the data. It didn't help that we had a big red warning that sitemaps didn't work

That's much worse in the sense that you're left wondering *why* you got deindexed in the first place. In our case at least we could correlate the deindexation with a specific incident. Even then, I wish the Bing Webmaster Tools would provide better insight instead of pointing to the guideline docs

New from Bing -> Keeping Content Discoverable with Sitemaps in AI Powered Search

"While no tool can guarantee when or how your content will appear in AI-generated results, combining sitemaps and IndexNow gives your content the best chance to be discovered, crawled, and indexed efficiently."

Got any idea what was the trigger that made it happen for you?

I've sorted out how to ship a #PowerShell Universal app as a module, which allowed me to put the app on a secondary test instance, and it *just friggin works*

Tons of docs so people don't stub their toes. By the end of the weekend, y'all can play too!
