Released on May 23, 2026, v0.1.1 is a maintenance and stability update for mcp-rest-forge, designed to improve the developer experience and ensure the server remains robust as the MCP ecosystem evolves.

What’s new

This release focuses on refinement and reliability rather than new feature sets. The most notable addition is the new --version command-line flag. Users can now quickly verify their current installation, Go runtime, and system architecture with a single command:

mcp-rest-forge --version

Under the hood, we’ve performed a significant sweep of dependencies, most importantly bumping the core mcp-go library to v0.54.0 and updating the Go runtime to v1.26.3. We’ve also overhauled our CI/CD pipelines and GitHub Actions to ensure that builds are more consistent and releases are more reliable.

Why it matters

While this is a maintenance release, these changes provide essential foundations for users. The --version flag removes guesswork during troubleshooting, while the dependency updates ensure that mcp-rest-forge leverages the latest stability and performance improvements from the Model Context Protocol implementation. By strengthening our build infrastructure, we are ensuring that the tool remains a dependable bridge between your REST APIs and LLM agents.

Upgrade and Installation

Upgrading to v0.1.1 is seamless, as this release is a drop-in replacement for v0.1.0. All your existing YAML configurations and environment variables remain fully compatible.

You can get the latest version by downloading the pre-compiled binaries from the GitHub Releases page or by using the Go toolchain:

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