What is Sanity?

Sanity's MCP server hits v2.33 with safer publishing guards as Studio bug-fix cadence accelerates

Sanity is running two parallel tracks simultaneously: Studio (v6.14.x) is receiving rapid bug-fix releases targeting real-world pain — Portable Text data-loss risks, appearance theming inconsistencies, popover UX regressions. At the same time, the MCP server is iterating weekly from v2.31 to v2.33, adding revision guards for safer publishing, distributed-tracing auth fixes, and token-efficient query responses. The combined picture is a team hardening both the human-facing editor and the AI-tool-facing API interface.

What is Gravity Forms?

Gravity Forms adds Klaviyo integration and an MCP server while maintaining its add-on ecosystem

Gravity Forms is shipping steadily across its add-on ecosystem — maintenance releases for HubSpot, Partial Entries, Flow, and SMTP alongside a new Klaviyo integration. The 3.1.1 core release signals incremental improvement rather than a major capability shift. The most directional move in recent weeks is an MCP server that connects Gravity Forms to AI assistants including Claude and GitHub Copilot, positioning the product as a data entry point in AI-driven workflows.

Sanity's MCP server hits v2.33 with safer publishing guards as Studio bug-fix cadence accelerates

◆ Current state

Sanity is running two parallel tracks simultaneously: Studio (v6.14.x) is receiving rapid bug-fix releases targeting real-world pain — Portable Text data-loss risks, appearance theming inconsistencies, popover UX regressions. At the same time, the MCP server is iterating weekly from v2.31 to v2.33, adding revision guards for safer publishing, distributed-tracing auth fixes, and token-efficient query responses. The combined picture is a team hardening both the human-facing editor and the AI-tool-facing API interface.

◆ Where it's heading

Sanity is building the MCP server into a production-grade write interface for AI agents. The `ifRevisionId` guard in v2.33 — which causes publishing to fail if a draft changed since the caller read it — is the kind of concurrency safety needed before AI agents can reliably edit live content. Studio stability work is catching up after a period of fast feature shipping. Expect MCP tool coverage to broaden and the auth/schema layers to continue hardening for enterprise-scale deployments.

◆ Prediction

The next MCP server release will likely add more write-path safety features — document locking or conflict detection. Studio v6.15 will address remaining edge cases exposed by the MCP surface's broader read/write coverage.

Gravity Forms adds Klaviyo integration and an MCP server while maintaining its add-on ecosystem

◆ Current state

Gravity Forms is shipping steadily across its add-on ecosystem — maintenance releases for HubSpot, Partial Entries, Flow, and SMTP alongside a new Klaviyo integration. The 3.1.1 core release signals incremental improvement rather than a major capability shift. The most directional move in recent weeks is an MCP server that connects Gravity Forms to AI assistants including Claude and GitHub Copilot, positioning the product as a data entry point in AI-driven workflows.

◆ Where it's heading

Gravity Forms is expanding its role from form builder to integration layer within the WordPress ecosystem. Adding Klaviyo, updating HubSpot, and maintaining Salesforce coverage rounds out a CRM and marketing automation surface. The MCP addition is the first signal of an AI-native strategy: rather than building AI features into the product, Gravity Forms is becoming the form data endpoint that AI agents can read and write. This is a defensible niche — data capture is hard to displace.

◆ Prediction

The MCP integration will likely drive follow-on AI workflow connectors; expect integrations with AI-first automation tools or a form-to-AI-pipeline add-on once the MCP adoption pattern shows traction.
