ContextForge Roadmap

This page summarizes the major themes under active development. For detailed tracking, see the linked GitHub epics and issues. Dates are targets, not commitments; minor releases ship roughly every two weeks. For what has already shipped, see the Release History.

MCP Protocol Features (Q3 2026)

First-class support for MCP 2025-11-25 and 2026-07-28 protocol capabilities:

  • MCP Apps — interactive UI elements (charts, forms, media) served as MCP resources and rendered securely in the agent client. Implementation supports both stateful and stateless MCP, with CSP, sandboxing, and permissions policy enforcement. Tracked in #2527 (Governed Extension Framework).
  • MCP Tasks — asynchronous, long-running operations with polling, mid-flight input, and durable handles, delivered as the official io.modelcontextprotocol/tasks extension. Tracked in #5677 and #5683.
  • Elicitation, Pagination, Completion, and Cancellation — tracked in #5558, with protocol-compliance verification in #5557.
  • Trusted Token Security Pattern — authorize from properly signed tokens without local user storage. Tracked in #5885.

ContextForge 2.0 (late Q3 2026)

  • MCP 2026-07-28 (stateless) protocol, integrated with RBAC/ABAC role control, plugins, and the control plane — preview available now, GA targeted for late September. Tracked in #5677 and #5679.
  • New user experience — a redesigned look and feel covering all core functions, replacing the HTMX frontend with a modern React application. Tracked in #4093.
  • Streamlined authentication, authorization, and access control.

Coming Q4 2026

  • Agent-to-Agent (A2A) v1.0.0 support — the open standard for agent interoperability, integrated with RBAC/ABAC, the plugin framework, and the control plane. Tracked in #5936.
  • LLM Gateway Proxies — provider-agnostic adapter for external LLM gateways (e.g. LiteLLM, Portkey, and a ContextForge-native lightweight option), with new providers added through configuration. Tracked in #3131.
  • UX Playground — a chat interface to exercise and experiment with your current ContextForge configuration. (#4927)
  • ContextForge TUI and Skills — a terminal UI with Skills available in both TUI and CLI modalities from the same binary. Tracked in #5731.
