<Release version="v0.32.0" date="May 29, 2025" published="2025-05-29T15:22:49.000Z" url="https://github.com/apollographql/rover/releases/tag/v0.32.0">
## 🚀 Features
- **Use the Streamable HTTP transport for MCP - @pubmodmatt PR #2607**

  `rover dev --mcp` will now use the Streamable HTTP transport instead of SSE. Specify the `--mcp-port` and/or `--mcp-address` options to `rover dev --mcp` to override the default values. The `--mcp-sse-port` and `--mcp-sse-address` options still work, but will configure the port and address for Streamable HTTP. Users should migrate to the new option names.
