Releases: smart-mcp-proxy/mcpproxy-go
v0.46.0
This release introduces Profiles v2, enabling users to manage multiple MCP server configurations and switch between them dynamically, plus enhanced security isolation options.
New Features
Profiles v2 (Teams edition)
- Per-profile tool indexes: Each profile now maintains its own Bleve search index for faster, isolated tool discovery
- Profile switching via MCP tool: Agents can now switch profiles programmatically using the new
set_profileMCP tool - Profile management REST API: New
/api/v1/profilesendpoint for profile CRUD operations - Profile pinning per agent token: Pin specific agents to profiles with server-side enforcement to prevent unauthorized profile switching
- Real-time profile updates: Server-Sent Events (SSE) broadcast active profile changes to connected clients
- Web UI profile switcher: New header control for selecting active profiles in the dashboard
Profiles v2 (Personal edition)
- System tray profile switcher: Quick profile switching directly from the macOS/Windows system tray menu
Security & Isolation
- Configurable isolation modes: New
isolation.modeenum setting allows choosing between Docker, Landlock, or no sandboxing - Landlock sandbox (experimental): Proof-of-concept Linux kernel-based sandboxing for MCP servers without Docker dependency
- Per-server initialize timeout: Configure custom MCP protocol initialization timeouts for individual servers to handle slow-starting tools
Bug Fixes
- Fixed index pagination when rebuilding or clearing per-profile indexes that exceed search page limits
Improvements
- Mode-aware server selector automatically filters available servers based on configured isolation mode
- Enhanced observability with proper
user_idandprofilelabel values in metrics (Teams edition)

This release introduces enhanced control over tool approval workflows with per-server auto-approval settings and new CLI commands for managing quarantined tools.
New Features
- Per-Server Auto-Approve Toggle: Configure auto-approval of tool changes independently for each MCP server through the UI (Personal & Teams)
- Trust Baseline & Rug-Pull Detection: New trust-baseline approval mode automatically flags suspicious tool changes that may indicate malicious updates (Personal & Teams)
- CLI Tool Management: Added
tools approveandtools rejectcommands for managing pending quarantined tools from the command line (Personal & Teams) - Batch Tool Approval: Approve or reject multiple pending tools at once from the global Tools page (Personal & Teams)
- Auto-Approve Configuration: New
auto_approve_tool_changesflag replaces the deprecatedskip_quarantinesetting, providing clearer control over tool approval behavior (Personal & Teams)
Improvements
- Tool approval settings are now exposed and persisted through the REST API for programmatic configuration (Teams)
- Pending tools are now prominently displayed in the ServerDetail approval banner for better visibility (Personal & Teams)
Breaking Changes
- The
skip_quarantineconfiguration flag is deprecated in favor ofauto_approve_tool_changes. Existing configurations will be automatically migrated, but you should update your config files to use the new flag name.

This release focuses on security and reliability improvements for upstream Docker-based MCP server execution.
Bug Fixes
-
Fixed Docker binary resolution for user-supplied configurations - Resolved an issue where the direct-exec mode failed to properly resolve the Docker binary path when users provided custom
docker runcommands for upstream MCP servers. This ensures more reliable container execution across different system configurations. -
Enhanced security logging - Upstream secrets (such as API keys and authentication tokens) are now properly redacted from Docker spawn argument debug logs. This prevents sensitive configuration data from being exposed in log files when troubleshooting Docker-based MCP server deployments.
Both fixes apply to Personal and Teams editions when using Docker-based upstream MCP servers.
