What is GravityView?

GravityKit keeps widening what a Gravity Forms entry can become.

The feed runs on a weekly Launch Log covering the whole GravityKit suite - GravityView, GravityExport, GravityEdit, GravityCalendar, DataTables, Maps, Block MCP - with a dedicated announcement post when something larger lands. Recent substance: Google Sheets export with ongoing sync, unions in Multiple Forms, rich text inline editing, and a long run of Gravity Forms 3.0 and WordPress 7.0 compatibility fixes. Nothing here is a platform shift; the suite is compounding.

What is Speakeasy?

Speakeasy stopped inventorying MCP servers and started adjudicating them.

Speakeasy ships near-daily platform releases with unusually legible notes — each headline states what changed for a user, not a version number. The current one turns the Shadow MCP page into a single review surface where every server carries an approval state and an automatically gathered evidence dossier: publisher, requested scopes, declared capabilities, maintenance signals, and whether internal teams already talk to it. Decisions enforce on record. Around it, the assistant surfaces have been consolidating: one detail panel for configuration and observation, exact session totals, and canonical identities folding a person's work and personal AI accounts together.

GravityView vs Speakeasy: editorial side-by-side

G5.0

GravityKit keeps widening what a Gravity Forms entry can become.

◆ Current state

The feed runs on a weekly Launch Log covering the whole GravityKit suite - GravityView, GravityExport, GravityEdit, GravityCalendar, DataTables, Maps, Block MCP - with a dedicated announcement post when something larger lands. Recent substance: Google Sheets export with ongoing sync, unions in Multiple Forms, rich text inline editing, and a long run of Gravity Forms 3.0 and WordPress 7.0 compatibility fixes. Nothing here is a platform shift; the suite is compounding.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run in parallel. One pushes form entries outward into places people already work - Google Sheets that stay in step with the form, maps, calendars, charts - so Gravity Forms stops being the final destination for its own data. The other keeps the suite current with the platform underneath it, which this quarter meant absorbing Gravity Forms 3.0 and WordPress 7.0 across every plugin at once. The MCP plugins sitting quietly in the Launch Logs are the third thread, still early.

◆ Prediction

Given the pattern of announcing one integration per few weeks and the two-way sync GravityExport just shipped, the next notable release is likely another external destination or a deeper write path back from one - with continued Gravity Forms 3.0 fixes filling the weekly logs in between.

10.0

Speakeasy stopped inventorying MCP servers and started adjudicating them.

◆ Current state

Speakeasy ships near-daily platform releases with unusually legible notes — each headline states what changed for a user, not a version number. The current one turns the Shadow MCP page into a single review surface where every server carries an approval state and an automatically gathered evidence dossier: publisher, requested scopes, declared capabilities, maintenance signals, and whether internal teams already talk to it. Decisions enforce on record. Around it, the assistant surfaces have been consolidating: one detail panel for configuration and observation, exact session totals, and canonical identities folding a person's work and personal AI accounts together.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc runs observe, then intercept, now adjudicate. Earlier releases catalogued spend and inventoried shadow MCP servers; the LiteLLM integration moved enforcement to the proxy so a violating prompt dies before inference; this release supplies the judgment layer, doing the research an approver would otherwise do by hand. The supporting work points the same way — prompt-injection scanning of captured skill manifests, risk policies that pause instead of being deleted, identity resolution that reports a whole person rather than an account. Each is a piece a control plane needs before its verdicts can be trusted.

◆ Prediction

Expect approval state to start gating traffic rather than only recording a decision, and the evidence dossier to extend from MCP servers to the skills and assistants already being captured. The rollout flag on the approval workflow suggests general availability is the next step rather than new capability.
