On October 22, 2026, mcp-rest-forge v0.2.4 was released. This update is a security-focused rebuild with no functional changes to the server itself. Binaries are built with Go 1.27.3 to distrust compromised eMudhra intermediate CAs, addressing GO-2026-6809 / CVE-2026-111943. The release also updates the TOON output dependency to the latest upstream version. For users, this means a safer deployment with no configuration or migration work required.

What’s new

  • Security rebuild with Go 1.27.3. The release artifacts are rebuilt to apply the Go toolchain fix that distrusts compromised eMudhra intermediate CAs. The release notes confirm no functional code changes to mcp-rest-forge.
  • TOON output library updated. The production dependency github.com/toon-format/toon-go is bumped through 0.1.0 to 1.0.1. This is used when output: "toon" is selected and delivers upstream improvements without changing configuration or API.
  • No breaking changes. forge.yaml and per-tool YAML files remain compatible, and there are no new options or removals in this version.

Why it matters

The primary value of v0.2.4 is security hardening. Using a Go toolchain that distrusts the compromised CAs reduces trust risks for deployments that fetch dependencies or validate TLS chains at build time. Because the server logic is unchanged, you get this protection with zero operational impact.

The TOON dependency update keeps the Token-Oriented Object Notation output path current with upstream fixes. Users who rely on output: "toon" benefit from those improvements automatically, without adjusting tool definitions.

Upgrading

Upgrade is straightforward. Download the v0.2.4 binaries from the GitHub releases page for your platform and replace your existing mcp-rest-forge binary. No configuration changes, migration steps, or restarts beyond the normal binary swap are required. Existing forge.yaml and tool files continue to work as before.

If you are running v0.2.3, updating to v0.2.4 is recommended to receive the security-hardened build.
