Big shoutout to Celery for being our Tool of the Week, chosen by @Dan: 🎉 "As a framework for task queues, Celery enables us to design and build tasks, publish them to a cluster for execution, and receive responses efficiently. By using it, we were easily able to compose very complex task workflows at scale. In microservice-based architectures, worker queues like Celery are a really important part of effective horizontal scaling. At Permit.io, we use Celery as part of our architecture to handle resource-intensive tasks and workflows". Dan also created an amazing monitoring tool—Celery Insights—which allows us to view all connected workers, monitor their activities, and understand task workflows clearly and intuitively. "In my previous role, I worked with a Celery cluster, handling tens of thousands of tasks every day. Bringing it into Permit.io made perfect sense—I think it’s a very useful tool for scaling and workflow management. Highly recommended for anyone in need of quality task execution and workflow orchestration!" https://github.com/danyi1212/celery-insights

Hey <!everyone>! We're going live in an hour!🚨 Authorization with Open Policy Agent (OPA) Join us live with Tyler Schade (Engineering Lead @ GEICO) https://www.youtube.com/live/1Ts2LdtzsGk

Are you a consultant looking for more customers (or know one)? Do you have experience with Permit.io , OPAL, OPA, IAM, and/or cloud-native technologies and running them on K8s (or other container orchestration) ? We have several Permit and OPAL customers who are looking for additional support on their permissions journey. Please DM me.

<!everyone> Okay… weird one today. Someone published a “mirror” of our product at Permit.sh. It’s not ours, but it’s clearly been made to look like us. The design, the copy, even the bugs – spot on. We didn’t put it there. At least, not that we remember. If you decide to visit, proceed with caution. And curiosity. If you find anything, drop it here. But don’t trust everything you see.

<!everyone> April Fools! 🎭😅 Some teams go for harmless jokes on April 1st. We at Permit.io? We believe in quality over quantity, which means pulling off a high-stakes, heart-stopping prank instead. This year, we convinced our CEO that a rogue clone of Permit.io had been flagged in a security audit. Complete with a matching domain (permit.sh); it had all the markings of a serious breach—except, of course, it wasn’t real. What makes this even better? Our customers helped us pull it off. In Permit.io, we build, we secure, and sometimes… we prank each other for good fun. 😜

mcp = FastMCP("My MCP Server")

# Add <http://Permit.io|Permit.io> authorization middleware
mcp.add_middleware(PermitMcpMiddleware(
    permit_pdp_url="<http://localhost:7766>",
