What is Sanity?

Sanity's MCP server now advertises itself to agents through a server card and llms.txt.

Sanity shipped three MCP server releases in two days. 2.44.0 makes the server discoverable through a /.well-known server card, an HTML or markdown landing page, robots.txt and llms.txt, and cuts CPU per request. 2.43.0 adds an undeploy_schema tool and deprecates workspaceName for schema selection. 2.42.2 fixes validation against deployed schemas and refuses patches that would change a document's _type.

What is Svelte?

SvelteKit 3 reached its Release Candidate with the migration tooling already in the box.

Svelte 5 core is in steady quality-of-life mode — 5.57 added SvelteMap.getOrInsert and getOrInsertComputed, a has check on createContext, select defaultValue, and exported render-output types. All the directional work sits in SvelteKit 3, which reached a Release Candidate this month after roughly twenty-five @next prereleases. The sv CLI has been reworked around the upgrade: a task-based sveltekit-3 migration bumps dependencies and rewrites $lib to #lib, and newly created projects already default to #lib.

Sanity's MCP server now advertises itself to agents through a server card and llms.txt.

◆ Current state

Sanity shipped three MCP server releases in two days. 2.44.0 makes the server discoverable through a /.well-known server card, an HTML or markdown landing page, robots.txt and llms.txt, and cuts CPU per request. 2.43.0 adds an undeploy_schema tool and deprecates workspaceName for schema selection. 2.42.2 fixes validation against deployed schemas and refuses patches that would change a document's _type.

◆ Where it's heading

The MCP server is becoming the main way agents read and write Sanity content, and the work has shifted from adding tools to making it safe and findable: guarded patches, accurate safety annotations, full schema lifecycle and discovery metadata. Studio and Manage continue alongside it with speed work and admin features for larger organizations.

◆ Prediction

Expect workspaceName to be removed after the migration period, and more guardrails on write tools such as patch_documents.

SvelteKit 3 reached its Release Candidate with the migration tooling already in the box.

◆ Current state

Svelte 5 core is in steady quality-of-life mode — 5.57 added SvelteMap.getOrInsert and getOrInsertComputed, a has check on createContext, select defaultValue, and exported render-output types. All the directional work sits in SvelteKit 3, which reached a Release Candidate this month after roughly twenty-five @next prereleases. The sv CLI has been reworked around the upgrade: a task-based sveltekit-3 migration bumps dependencies and rewrites $lib to #lib, and newly created projects already default to #lib.

◆ Where it's heading

Kit 3 is arriving as a consolidation rather than a rewrite, and the breaking changes stay narrow and mechanical — defineParams moving to @sveltejs/kit/params, cross-page form actions matching native form behavior, adapter Vite plugins split into pre and post groups. The team is running both lines at once: Kit 3 docs live on next.svelte.dev while 2.x still takes patch releases, which is what a low-risk major looks like in practice. Tooling for agent-assisted upgrades is being folded into the same effort, with the mcp add-on replaced by a broader ai-tools add-on covering MCP servers, skills, and sub-agents per client, and sv migrate now emitting a list of leftover changes for a developer or agent to resolve.

◆ Prediction

Expect SvelteKit 3.0 stable within the next digest or two, with remaining @next churn confined to adapter and routing internals.
