mcp-graphql-forge v0.11.0: Moving to the Official MCP SDK
Released on August 2, 2026, mcp-graphql-forge v0.11.0 is a modernization release focused on stability and standardization. The primary highlight of this version is the migration to the official Model Context Protocol (MCP) Go SDK, ensuring that the server remains aligned with the evolving MCP specification and provides a more robust foundation for AI agent interactions.
What’s new
The core of this release is a significant internal transition. We have replaced the community-maintained mark3labs/mcp-go implementation with the official modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk.
Key updates include:
- Official SDK Integration: The server now leverages the official MCP Go SDK for all core operations.
- Standardized Tool Schemas: Tool input definitions have been migrated to use formal JSON Schemas. This improves how MCP clients, such as Claude Desktop, discover and validate tool arguments, leading to more reliable agent behavior.
- Refreshed Transports: Both the standard I/O (Stdio) and HTTP transport layers have been updated to use official SDK implementations, improving communication reliability.
- Language Update: The project has been updated to Go v1.26.5 to take advantage of the latest language improvements.
Why it matters
While much of the work in v0.11.0 happened under the hood, the impact on the user experience is meaningful. By moving to the official SDK, mcp-graphql-forge gains better long-term stability and guaranteed compatibility with the MCP specification.
For users, this means that the curated GraphQL tools you define in your configuration files will be more consistently recognized and utilized by AI agents. The move to standardized JSON Schemas reduces the friction between the server and the client, making the “forge” of tools more precise and predictable.
