If you are from perfect.io: Do you have a clear roadmap for how new features can be balanced between open-source FastMCP and Cloud offerings?

Sure! There will not be any contention between their roadmaps, in fact FastMCP will continue to evolve somewhat independently of FastMCP Cloud. We'll be announcing our first external maintainer later this week.
Our goal is for FastMCP to be the most full-featured framework for building production-ready MCP servers. FastMCP Cloud is an opinionated way to spin up infrastructure, auth, observability, etc. automatically for those servers. Nonetheless, FastMCP 2.12 (probably releasing this week) will include a completely new auth layer that supports Google, GitHub, WorkOS, and Azure as integrated OAuth providers. It'll also include a new portable deployment configuration that will make it easy to spin up FastMCP servers -- and all their dependencies -- from a declarative JSON file. The objective is to make MCP accessible, whether you want to use our platform or roll your own!
