GateRook 0.9.0 was released on 8 November 2026. It adds browser sign-in for VS Code, in-app MCP server discovery, and optional component downloads on first use.
What changed
- VS Code with OAuth. Connect VS Code to a GateRook endpoint through its MCP installation flow, then authorize access in the browser. VS Code manages its own configuration and server trust.
- MCP server discovery. Browse featured servers and search the Official MCP Registry from the MCP servers page. Review the suggested configuration before connecting.
- Optional component downloads. Java support for plugins and Cloudflare Tunnel download when first needed, with integrity checks and local caching. Built-in connectors do not require these downloads. First use requires internet access; cached components remain available offline.
- Clearer Overview. Updated connection cards, responsive layouts, detected-app filtering and endpoint creation make access paths easier to follow.
- Weekly database backups. The default interval for automatic database backups is now weekly.
- Windows client setup. GateRook detects the Microsoft Copilot app and explains its setup limitations. Claude Desktop extension files open through Claude, and Disconnect controls stay on one line.
Try VS Code with a read-only call
Follow VS Code → GateRook → your first read-only call → Activity. The walkthrough uses a development PostgreSQL connection and a constant-only query, so you can verify the route without reading business data.
