Major Features:
- Unified gateway architecture (micro run + micro server use same code)
- MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration as library package
- AI-accessible microservices with 3 lines of code
Gateway Unification:
- Created reusable gateway module (cmd/micro/server/gateway.go)
- Updated micro run to use unified gateway (removed duplicate code)
- Conditional authentication (disabled in dev, required in prod)
- Reduced code duplication, simplified maintenance
MCP Integration:
- New library package: gateway/mcp
- Automatic service discovery → MCP tools
- HTTP/SSE transport support (stdio coming soon)
- Works for both library users and CLI users
- CLI flags: --mcp-address for micro run and micro server
Documentation:
- ADR-010: Unified Gateway Architecture
- CLI & Gateway Guide for users
- MCP Gateway README and examples
- Blog post: Making Your Microservices AI-Native with MCP
Breaking Changes: None (fully backward compatible)

micro run now starts an HTTP gateway alongside your services:
- Web dashboard at http://localhost:8080
- API proxy at /api/{service}/{method}
- Health checks at /health
- Service listing at /services
The experience is now:
$ micro new helloworld
$ cd helloworld
$ micro run
Open http://localhost:8080 to see and call your services.
New flags:
--address :3000 # Custom gateway port
--no-gateway # Disable gateway (services only)
Updated documentation to make this the central experience.
