Released on June 22, 2026, mcp-rest-forge v0.1.2 is a dedicated maintenance release. While it doesn’t introduce new functional features, it focuses on strengthening the project’s foundation by updating core dependencies and modernizing the internal codebase to ensure long-term stability and reliability for users.

What’s new

This update primarily targets the underlying infrastructure of the server:

  • Dependency Upgrades: We’ve bumped the core mcp-go library to v0.55.0, ensuring that the server leverages the latest stable advancements in the Go MCP framework.
  • Toolchain Update: The project now requires Go v1.26.4, bringing in the latest runtime improvements and security patches from the Go team.
  • Internal Modernization: The codebase has been updated to use modern Go idioms, including the adoption of any and optimized map operations, which improve overall code maintainability and efficiency.
  • CI/CD Enhancements: Updated GitHub Action workflows to the latest versions to ensure a more robust and secure build and test pipeline.

Why it matters

Maintenance releases are critical for the health of any open-source project. By keeping dependencies current and upgrading the runtime environment, we reduce the risk of security vulnerabilities and ensure that mcp-rest-forge remains compatible with the evolving ecosystem of AI agents and MCP servers. These internal refinements provide a smoother, more stable experience, allowing you to focus on defining your REST API tools without worrying about the underlying plumbing.

Getting started with v0.1.2

Updating to the latest version is straightforward. If you use pre-compiled binaries, simply replace your current executable with the v0.1.2 version. For those installing from source, you can upgrade by running:

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

This release is fully backward compatible with all v0.1.1 configurations, so your existing YAML definitions will continue to work seamlessly.
