The MuCap collaboration has measured the capture rate of the muon on the proton and reported its first value for the weak pseudoscalar coupling: gp 7.3{+-}1.1. To achieve 5% uncertainty on gp, many hardware upgrades were implemented for the subsequent 2006-2007 running periods. These improvements are described and the outlook for MuCap and the followup experiment, MuSun, is discussed.
