During August 2025, work focused on enhancing the semgrep/mcp repository by updating the Docker build process to require the SEMGREP_API_TOKEN environment variable for including the semgrep-proprietary binary in distributions. This approach leveraged Docker and secret management to gate proprietary components, ensuring compliance with licensing and improving distribution security. The implementation involved updating build documentation in Markdown to clarify the new token-based provisioning process for users. By introducing secret-based gating, the changes reduced the risk of unauthorized binary distribution and provided clearer deployment guidance for customers needing the proprietary component, reflecting a targeted and security-conscious engineering contribution.
