New Capabilities That Redefine Real-Time:

Generative AI Coding with MCP Server
PubNub’s new Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server connects large language models (LLMs) like those in AI-powered IDEs (e.g., Cursor, Windsurf) directly to live SDK knowledge. Developers can generate real-time features like chat, presence, or sync with a single prompt, without leaving their editor or searching documentation.

AI-Powered Auto-Moderation
BizOps Workspace offers built-in content filtering that runs in-cluster before messages are delivered to users. This serverless module scans messages for profanity, abuse, and spam in sub-500ms, with no external setup. Developers can apply preset rules or connect third-party tools, all from a no-code interface with no backend work.

Decision Intelligence with PubNub Illuminate & Insights
PubNub’s decisioning tools let teams monitor and optimize live applications with no-code dashboards, real-time anomaly detection, and automation rules. Product and engineering teams can optimize user flows, test changes, and respond to real-time behavior without redeploying.

“We’re closing the gap between ideation and execution,” said Stephen Blum, CTO, PubNub. “With generative coding, real-time decision engines, and in-network moderation, developers can build better apps faster and scale confidently.”
