Red Carpet 2026 Vol. 1 Update: MCP SDK Now Shipping, New EDI SDK, and More!
RED CARPET SUBSCRIPTION UPDATE VOL. 1 2026
The latest update to our signature Red Carpet Subscription is now available! MCP SDK has entered full release and includes robust support for HTTP transport. This update also introduces EDI SDK, NFS client and server components, the full release of our NFC components, new n8n nodes for enterprise workflow automation, and npm distribution for our JavaScript editions:
MCP SDK Now Shipping

MCP SDK streamlines development of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that connect LLMs to your data, code, and context. MCP SDK is now fully released and includes comprehensive support for HTTP transport in addition to the existing stdio-based communication.

HTTP support enables more flexible deployment of MCP servers, as LLM clients can connect over the network in distributed environments. Our Connecting to Claude guide shows how simple MCP integration over HTTP can be.

EDI SDK [Beta]

EDI SDK is a new toolkit that simplifies EDI development through EDI Objects: transaction-specific, strongly-typed classes generated from EDI schemas. These classes provide an object-oriented interface for creating, translating, parsing, and validating X12 and EDIFACT documents. By exposing segments, loops, and elements as named properties, EDI Objects eliminate the need for developers to track document position or work directly with low-level EDI data structures.

The getting started guides for X12 and EDIFACT walk through the simple steps for generating document-specific EDI Objects and using them to add EDI processing to your applications.

IPWorks NFS [Beta]

IPWorks NFS is a component library for building fully customizable NFS clients and servers. The toolkit enables developers to implement NFS file operations, authentication, and data transfer through a simple component API.

IPWorks NFS includes full support for NFS 4.0, with support for 4.1 and 4.2 coming soon. Our getting started guides provide more information on how to begin developing NFS clients and NFS servers.

IPWorks NFC Now Shipping

IPWorks NFC is now fully released. The toolkit provides a unified API for adding Near-Field Communication (NFC) capabilities to Android and iOS applications, including reading and writing NDEF records and accessing tag metadata.

To learn more about adding NFC support to your apps, please see our Getting Started Guides for Android and iOS.

n8n Node Library [Beta]

This release introduces new enterprise n8n nodes that extend the native capabilities of the n8n workflow automation platform. The n8n Node Library makes it easier to ensure your n8n solution meets security and compliance requirements by providing OpenPGP encryption and decryption, end-to-end file security, email signing and encryption, and more.

Our getting started guide provides the simple steps necessary to add these nodes to your n8n environment.

JavaScript Editions

The JavaScript editions of our products are now published as official npm packages. Developers can install them using standard Node.js package management workflows, eliminating the need for manual ZIP downloads or custom installation steps.

This enables faster onboarding, consistent dependency management, and predictable upgrades through your existing package manager.

Additional Updates

Additional updates and enhancements in this release include:

  • All .NET Editions have been updated with support for Visual Studio 2026 and .NET 10.
  • All Delphi and C++ Builder Editions have been updated with support for RAD Studio 13.
  • Secure PDF and SecureBlackbox now support right-to-left languages and extended Arabic shaping in signature widgets.
  • Performance improvements in Secure PDF when processing large documents.
  • SecureBlackbox now supports post-quantum (PQC) signature algorithms in all TLS and SSH components.
  • Improvements to certificate chain validation logic including expanded time zone support, revocation completeness checks, and more.
