Materialize recaps 28 weekly releases focused on enabling a 'live context graph' for AI agents — incrementally maintained materialized views that give agents fresh, consistent data for tight feedback loops. Key updates include: an MCP Server for agents to discover and query data products, replacement materialized views for zero-downtime in-place schema changes, a new mz-deploy CLI (built in Rust) for declarative deployments with local compilation and unit testing, a Developer MCP endpoint for coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor, an Apache Iceberg sink for exactly-once delivery to lakehouses, source versioning for zero-downtime upstream schema changes across PostgreSQL/MySQL/SQL Server, SSO/OIDC support for self-managed deployments, and significant performance improvements including 50% p99 latency reductions and 75% faster DDL.
