Enhanced Model Context Protocol Implementation for Firebird Databases

We are excited to announce the release of MCP Firebird v2.0.4, a significant update to our Model Context Protocol implementation for Firebird databases. This stable release brings several important improvements and new features that enhance both functionality and user experience.

MCP Firebird provides a robust interface between Firebird databases and AI models, enabling seamless integration with tools like Claude Desktop and other MCP-compatible clients.

Key Features and Improvements

Server-Sent Events (SSE) Support

The new version introduces full support for Server-Sent Events (SSE) as a transport mechanism, allowing real-time data streaming between your Firebird database and client applications. This feature enables more responsive applications with live updates without requiring constant polling.

Robust Command-Line Parameter Handling

We’ve significantly enhanced the command-line interface with improved parameter handling, ensuring seamless compatibility with both NPX parameters and environment variables. This makes MCP Firebird more flexible and easier to configure in various environments.
