# Release Notes v0.2.0 ## 🎉 Major Features ### SSE Transport Now Officially Supported - Full implementation of Server-Sent Events (SSE) transport for network access - Built using the MCP SDK transport layer for improved reliability - HTTP/HTTPS server integration for secure connections - Configurable port settings (default: 3232) ### HTTPS/TLS Support - Added secure TLS/SSL support for production deployments - New CLI flags: `--https`, `--cert`, and `--key` - Certificate validation for enhanced security - Meets MCP specification requirements for secure remote access ### Improved Documentation - Added comprehensive Quick Start guide with build tools setup - Enhanced installation instructions for Windows users - Clear prerequisites including VC++ workload requirements - Better guidance for Python and Node.js installation ## 🚀 Enhancements ### Infrastructure Improvements - Optimized build process with npm ci and caching - Standardized default port (3232) across entire codebase - Removed unused dependencies (express, jimp, mcp-control) - Improved GitHub Actions with better error handling ### Testing Framework - Added end-to-end testing suite for integration testing - Better test coverage for SSE transport features - Enhanced CI/CD pipeline reliability ### Developer Experience - Simplified SSE implementation using SDK transport - Better error handling for client connections - Buffer management improvements - Platform-specific path fixes ## 🔧 CLI Updates New command line options: ```bash # Run with SSE transport mcp-control --sse # Run with HTTPS/TLS mcp-control --sse --https --cert /path/to/cert.pem --key /path/to/key.pem # Custom port mcp-control --sse --port 3000 ``` ## 📦 Dependency Updates - Updated `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` to latest version - Bumped TypeScript ESLint packages to v8.32.0+ - Updated `zod` to v3.24.4 - Various dev dependency updates for security ## 📚 Documentation - Added SSE transport documentation - Updated README with release badges - Improved branch structure documentation - Added build tools setup instructions - Enhanced security guidelines ## 🐛 Bug Fixes - Fixed TypeScript errors related to HTTP server usage - Resolved client error handling in SSE transport - Corrected platform-specific path issues - Fixed npm ci error handling in build scripts ## ⚠️ Breaking Changes - SSE is now the recommended transport method - HTTPS is required for production deployments per MCP spec - Some internal API changes for transport handling ## 🔐 Security - Added proper TLS certificate validation - Implemented security options for HTTPS connections - Updated dependencies to address known vulnerabilities ## 📈 Migration Guide To upgrade from v0.1.x to v0.2.0: 1. Update your Claude client configuration to use SSE transport: ```json { "mcpServers": { "MCPControl": { "command": "mcp-control", "args": ["--transport", "sse"] } } } ``` 2. For production deployments, use HTTPS: ```bash mcp-control --sse --https --cert cert.pem --key key.pem ``` 3. Ensure you have the latest build tools installed as per the Quick Start guide ## 👥 Contributors Special thanks to all contributors who made this release possible, including: - @Cheffromspace for SSE transport and HTTPS implementation - @lwsinclair for adding the MseeP.ai security badge - All the community members who reported issues and provided feedback ## 🔮 What's Next - Multi-monitor support improvements - Enhanced click accuracy at different resolutions - Additional transport options - Performance optimizations --- Thank you for using MCPControl! We're excited to bring you these improvements and look forward to your feedback.
