A Commitment to Maintenance and Security

Released on November 29, 2025, mcp-graphql-forge v0.8.1 is a maintenance release that reflects our commitment to keeping the project secure, up-to-date, and reliable. While this version doesn’t introduce new features, it represents important behind-the-scenes work to ensure the stability and security of your MCP server infrastructure.

What’s New

This release focuses entirely on dependency updates and CI/CD improvements:

Dependency Updates

  • mcp-go library: Updated from v0.38.0 to v0.43.1, bringing six incremental versions of the core MCP protocol library under the hood
  • Go toolchain: Upgraded from 1.25.0 to 1.25.4 for improved language support and runtime improvements

Security & Build Infrastructure

  • Updated GitHub Actions to their latest major versions:
    • actions/checkout: v5 → v6
    • actions/setup-go: v5 → v6
    • actions/attest-build-provenance: v2 → v3
    • github/codeql-action: v3 → v4
    • astral-sh/setup-uv: v6 → v7

These updates ensure that build provenance attestations, code scanning, and workflow security are aligned with GitHub’s latest standards.

Why It Matters

You might wonder why a release with no new features matters. Here’s why:

Security First: Security tooling updates, particularly the CodeQL action upgrade to v4, keep your builds protected against emerging vulnerabilities and ensure our supply chain remains secure.

Stability Through Maintenance: By regularly updating dependencies like mcp-go through six minor versions, we prevent technical debt from accumulating and ensure compatibility with the evolving MCP ecosystem.

Zero Disruption: This release is designed to be completely transparent to users. Your existing YAML configurations, tool definitions, and server setups continue to work exactly as before—no migration or reconfiguration needed.

Getting Started

Upgrading to v0.8.1 is straightforward:

Pre-compiled Binaries

Each release asset includes SHA256 and MD5 checksums for verification.

From Source

If you prefer building from source or installing via Go modules:

go install github.com/UnitVectorY-Labs/mcp-graphql-forge@latest

This will pull the latest v0.8.1 release and compile it with Go 1.25.4.

Looking Ahead

Maintenance releases like v0.8.1 are the foundation of sustainable open source. They ensure that when new features arrive in future releases, they’re built on a secure, up-to-date base. We appreciate your continued use of mcp-graphql-forge and invite you to explore its capabilities for turning GraphQL endpoints into modular MCP servers through simple YAML configuration.
