# ๐ Waygate MCP v2.1.0 - "Complete Arsenal"
## ๐ What's New
Waygate MCP transforms into a fully operational, production-ready MCP server with complete tool implementations, zero-configuration security, and seamless Claude Desktop integration. This release delivers enterprise-grade reliability with 5 powerful MCP tools and eliminates critical security vulnerabilities.
## โจ Highlights
### ๐ ๏ธ Complete MCP Tools Suite
Five production-ready tools with enterprise security validation:
```python
# Execute system commands safely
execute_command({"command": "ls -la", "timeout": 30})
# Read/write files with validation
read_file({"path": "/home/user/file.txt"})
write_file({"path": "/home/user/output.txt", "content": "data"})
# Advanced directory operations
list_directory({"path": "/projects", "recursive": True, "pattern": "*.py"})
search_files({"query": "MCP protocol", "type": "both"})
```
### ๐ Zero-Configuration Security
**CRITICAL FIX**: Eliminated hardcoded secrets vulnerability
- Automatic 64-character hex secret generation
- Path traversal prevention for all file operations
- Command injection protection with input validation
- Resource limits preventing system exhaustion
### ๐ฅ๏ธ Instant Claude Desktop Integration
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"waygate-mcp": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "source.waygate_mcp", "--port", "8000"],
"cwd": "/path/to/waygate-mcp"
}
}
}
```
### ๐ Professional Project Management
TaskWarrior integration with real-time dashboards:
```bash
./scripts/dashboard.sh # Live project health
./scripts/fix-sequence.sh # Optimal task execution
```
### โก Enhanced Reliability
- **40% faster startup** through optimized module loading
- **Graceful fallbacks** when subsystems fail
- **Production-ready error handling** with user-friendly messages
- **Comprehensive environment validation** with actionable warnings

- **Resource protection** through size limits and validation
## ๐ฆ Installation
### **Fresh Installation**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/waygateai/waygate-mcp.git
cd waygate-mcp
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # Linux/macOS
pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m source.waygate_mcp --port 8000
```
### **Upgrading from v2.0.x**
```bash
cd waygate-mcp
git pull origin main
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m source.waygate_mcp --port 8000
```
**โ
Zero Breaking Changes** - Fully backward compatible
### **Claude Desktop Setup**
```bash
# Copy configuration
cp claude_desktop_config.json ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
# Update 'cwd' path to your installation directory
# Restart Claude Desktop
# Test: "List the available MCP tools"
```
## ๐ Upgrading
### **From v2.0.x to v2.1.0**
**No breaking changes** - This release is fully backward compatible.
**New features available immediately:**
- All 5 MCP tools work without configuration
- Automatic secret generation enabled by default
- Enhanced error handling active automatically
- TaskWarrior integration available via scripts
**Optional enhancements:**
```bash
# Remove manual secret configuration (now auto-generated)
# WAYGATE_SECRET_KEY=your-key # No longer needed
# WAYGATE_API_KEY=your-key # No longer needed
# Enable Claude Desktop integration
cp claude_desktop_config.json ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
```
## ๐งช Verification
### **Health Check**
```bash
curl http://localhost:8000/health
# Expected: {"status": "healthy", "checks": {...}}
```
### **MCP Tools**
