+# Server Cards: Roadmap Priorities
+
+The Server Card working group's proposed priorities for the core-maintainer
+roadmap. Maintainers are consolidating the roadmap around an upcoming spec
+release. These are the three themes, in priority order, we want carried into that
+roadmap.
+
+## 1. Unlock MCP Discovery
+
+The next step is to graduate the Server Card to an official MCP extension as
+Server Cards are still experimental. [SEP-2127] is in review, and the
+Extensions Track ([SEP-2133]) also requires a merged SDK reference implementation.
+Getting to an accepted, adoptable extension is the top priority. This will
+unlock MCP as a part of a discoverable web of agents.
+
+## 2. Describe what a server does
+
+A card today says _where_ to connect but not _what_ the server can do. That
+blocks consumers from using Server Cards for richer discovery and informing
+end users of what to expect. `server/discover` and list endpoints are
+frequently gated by auth, so an enriched server card would help significantly.
+Primitives were deliberately removed from the card ([PR #19]); this track
+revisits adding them back for static discovery.
+
+## 3. Authentication
+
+Cards need to express real-world auth well enough that a client can actually
+connect. Auth is per-remote and varies across endpoints, and reviewers have
+raised scenarios the current shape doesn't cover ([#13], core-spec
+[PR #2742][pr2742]).
