* feat: expose framework primitives via API gateway and MCP
Add registry, store, and broker as both HTTP routes and MCP tools
so AI agents and HTTP clients can inspect and operate the framework.
API gateway (/micro/* namespace):
GET /micro/registry List registered services
GET /micro/registry/{name} Describe a service
GET /micro/store List store keys
GET /micro/store/{key} Read a record
POST /micro/store/{key} Write a record
POST /micro/broker/{topic} Publish a message
MCP gateway (micro_* tool prefix):
micro_registry_list List services
micro_registry_get Describe a service
micro_store_list List keys
micro_store_read Read a record
micro_store_write Write a record
micro_broker_publish Publish a message
Framework tools use a Handler field on the MCP Tool struct for
direct dispatch (no RPC). Service tools continue to use RPC.
Rate limiters and circuit breakers are applied to framework
tools the same as service tools.
* fix: make framework internals opt-in on API and MCP gateways
Framework primitives (registry, broker, store) are now only
exposed when explicitly enabled:
API gateway: micro api --internal
MCP gateway: Options{Internal: true}
Off by default — user services are always exposed, framework
internals require the flag. Banner output only shows framework
routes when enabled.
* fix: always expose framework internals, gate by auth in production
Revert the --internal flag approach. Framework primitives (registry,
broker, store) are now always exposed:
- micro api: /micro/* routes always available (dev tool)
- MCP gateway: micro_* tools always registered. When Auth is
configured (production), they require micro:admin scope.
Without Auth (dev), they're open — same as all other tools.
This follows the existing pattern: micro run/api = dev (open),
micro server = production (auth + scopes). Framework internals
follow the same security model as user services.
Remove the Internal option from MCP Options. Remove --internal
flag from micro api.
Note: scope persistence depends on the store backend. The default
in-memory store does not survive restarts. Use MICRO_STORE=file
for persistent scopes in production.
* fix: correct DefaultStore comment — it's file-backed, not memory
* fix(server): don't recreate deleted admin user on restart
When the default admin account is deleted via the dashboard, set
a marker key (auth/.admin-deleted) in the store. On startup, skip
admin creation if the marker exists. This prevents the default
admin/micro credentials from reappearing after restart when the
user has intentionally removed them.
* fix: improve agent playground first-run UX and fix doc 404s
Agent playground:
- Add setup hint in empty state explaining how to get started
(click Settings, enter API key, type a prompt)
- Hide hint automatically when API key is already configured
- Add all 7 providers to dropdown (was only OpenAI + Anthropic)
- Include CLI fallback suggestion (micro chat)
Docs:
- Fix .md links to .html across all doc pages — Jekyll serves
.html files, not .md. Fixes 404s including the micro run guide.

TLS Security Update - Important Information
What Changed
The TLS configuration in go-micro now includes a security deprecation warning.
Current Behavior (v5.x)
Default: TLS certificate verification is disabled for backward compatibility
- This maintains existing behavior to avoid breaking production deployments
- A deprecation warning is logged once per process startup
Why: Changing the default to secure would be a breaking change that could disrupt:
- Production systems during routine upgrades
- Distributed systems with mixed versions
- Services using self-signed certificates
How to Enable Security (Recommended)
Option 1: Environment Variable
export MICRO_TLS_SECURE=true
Option 2: Use SecureConfig
import (
"go-micro.dev/v5/broker"
mls "go-micro.dev/v5/util/tls"
)
broker := broker.NewHttpBroker(
broker.TLSConfig(mls.SecureConfig()),
)
Migration Timeline
- v5.x (Current): Insecure by default, opt-in security via
MICRO_TLS_SECURE=true - v6.x (Future): Secure by default (breaking change with major version bump)
Why This Approach?
This addresses the concerns raised about:
- Major version requirements: No breaking change in v5, deferred to v6
- Cross-host compatibility: All hosts use same default behavior
- Production safety: Existing deployments continue working during upgrades
- Migration path: Clear opt-in path with documentation
Documentation
See SECURITY_MIGRATION.md for detailed migration guide.
Security Recommendation
For production deployments:
- Test with
MICRO_TLS_SECURE=truein staging - Use proper CA-signed certificates
- Consider service mesh (Istio, Linkerd) for automatic mTLS
- Plan migration before v6 release
