Sanity vs Technitium DNS Server
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Sanity and Technitium DNS Server — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Sanity vs Technitium DNS Server: at a glance
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 Technitium DNS Server?
A self-hosted DNS server that grew an enterprise identity layer.
Technitium shipped its v15 line in April 2026 and has been iterating on it steadily since, with four point releases in under three months. The defining change was Single Sign-On via OpenID Connect, and nearly every release after it has gone back to sand down that same surface — SSO scopes, SSO implementation fixes, new Settings options. Release notes are thin pointers to a CHANGELOG file, so the granular detail lives outside the feed.

Sanity
5.0DEVOPS
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.
Technitium DNS Server
2.5DEVOPS
A self-hosted DNS server that grew an enterprise identity layer.
◆ Current state
Technitium shipped its v15 line in April 2026 and has been iterating on it steadily since, with four point releases in under three months. The defining change was Single Sign-On via OpenID Connect, and nearly every release after it has gone back to sand down that same surface — SSO scopes, SSO implementation fixes, new Settings options. Release notes are thin pointers to a CHANGELOG file, so the granular detail lives outside the feed.
◆ Where it's heading
The work is consolidating around administration and access control rather than DNS resolution itself. A self-hosted DNS server adding OIDC and scope configuration is positioning for multi-admin and organizational deployments, not the single-operator homelab it started in. The steady cadence of small Settings additions suggests configuration surface is being expanded on user request rather than to a fixed roadmap.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued hardening of the SSO path and more granular Settings options in the v15.x line. The entries don't indicate what a v16 would contain.
