Roadmap

mcpose's roadmap is organized into shipped work, the next major release (v3), and long-term ambitions (v4). Everything below mirrors the Roadmap section of the repository README.

Shipped

These landed in the current 2.x release line:

  • Composable middleware: startProxy(), startHttpProxy(), createProxyServer()
  • Streamable HTTP transport with stateful sessions and SSE reconnect replay
  • Identity resolution: resolveIdentity hook, Identity on ProxyContext
  • mTLS support: tlsOptions on HttpProxyOptions
  • @mcpose/audit: HMAC chain, Merkle proofs, ReplayManifest, sensitivity tiers, audit format v2
  • @mcpose/testing: compliance assertion helpers

Next: v3

v3 targets Q1 2027.

  • @mcpose/policy: RBAC policy engine
  • @mcpose/fintech-identity: OIDC to financial identity profile
  • @mcpose/otel: OpenTelemetry spans adapter (does not exist yet)
  • Persistent EventStore adapters: Redis and Postgres
  • GDPR/CCPA consent middleware with cryptographic erasure
  • Signed delegation JWTs
  • Budget enforcement

Long term: v4

v4 targets Q3 2027.

  • Compliance report generator
  • Runnable compliance playbook
  • Full session replay

v4Q3 2027Compliance tooling, full replay, observability adapters, A2A bridge

Protocol watch

We track adjacent agent interoperability protocols in case they change the integration surface.

  • A2A: agent-to-agent communication between platforms; informs the long-term @mcpose/a2a bridge.
  • ATXP: agent transfer and handoff between platforms; informs the signed delegation JWT design.
  • OpenAI agent protocol: the emerging standard for agent task execution; watched for overlap with MCP tool discovery and sessions.

A note on dates

Roadmap items are plans, not promises. Dates are targets, not deadlines. Priorities may shift as the protocol ecosystem and compliance requirements evolve.
