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 WildFly?

WildFly's first 41.x patch is a security release, with three IIOP CVEs closed at once

WildFly runs a steady train: a Beta, a .0.Final, then a patch release that consolidates fixes and component upgrades. WildFly 41 arrived in July with OIDC scope and request-object support promoted out of preview. The first patch on that line is dominated by security — three CVEs in the IIOP stack covering unauthenticated class loading, a missing-authentication path on the NameService, and a pre-auth denial of service on the listener — plus a long run of dependency upgrades that resolve further advisories.

5.0

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.

WildFly's first 41.x patch is a security release, with three IIOP CVEs closed at once

◆ Current state

WildFly runs a steady train: a Beta, a .0.Final, then a patch release that consolidates fixes and component upgrades. WildFly 41 arrived in July with OIDC scope and request-object support promoted out of preview. The first patch on that line is dominated by security — three CVEs in the IIOP stack covering unauthenticated class loading, a missing-authentication path on the NameService, and a pre-auth denial of service on the listener — plus a long run of dependency upgrades that resolve further advisories.

◆ Where it's heading

The releases show the split personality of a mature application server: feature work concentrates in the Beta and .0.Final, while the .1 patch exists to move CVE fixes and component versions to users quickly. The recurring theme across 40.x and 41.x is that the ageing edges of the platform — IIOP, the OIDC client, container base images — are where the risk keeps surfacing, and each patch prunes a little more. WildFly 40.0.1 used the same slot to move container images to JDK 25 and drop JDK 17.

◆ Prediction

Expect a 42 Beta to open the next feature cycle while 41.x continues absorbing component upgrades and advisory fixes on the same patch cadence.
