May 2025 monthly summary for semgrep/mcp focusing on release readiness and restoring external accessibility for MCP-powered servers. Key outcomes include 0.2.1 release readiness with core dependency upgrades (MCP, semgrep, pydantic, ruff), version bumps, lockfile refresh, and refined release notes and changelog. A major bug fix re-enabled external access by updating the Dockerfile to set FASTMCP_HOST to 0.0.0.0 after MCP 1.9.1 changed the default host to 127.0.0.1. Additional improvements included documentation updates (CHANGELOG, contributing guidelines, and formatting) to streamline future releases. Overall impact: accelerated release readiness, improved user accessibility, and a more maintainable release process. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Docker and container networking, environment variable configuration, dependency management and release engineering, changelog/documentation maintenance, and Python tooling (MCP, pydantic, ruff).
