--- scope: org organization: clerk release_count: 182 last_release: 2026-10-13 generated: 2026-04-16 updated: 2026-10-16 canonical: https://releases.sh/clerk/overview.md --- Recently shipped an MCP server that manages your Clerk account and moved Expo native components into their own package. **The MCP server now acts on your account.** Beyond snippets and quickstarts, an agent can create applications, configure authentication, manage users, and set up production instances. It connects through your MCP client's sign-in flow and is limited to what you approve and what your workspace Role allows. **Expo native components require a new package.** `AuthView`, `UserButton`, and `UserProfileView` now depend on `@clerk/expo-native-components`; install it and rebuild before shipping an over-the-air update, since a missing package throws at runtime rather than at build. Import from `@clerk/expo/native-components` — `@clerk/expo/native` is deprecated. Apps that skip it no longer bundle the Clerk iOS and Android SDKs or require iOS 17. Native components also respect `proxyUrl` passed to ``, which needs a new app binary. **Enterprise SSO setup keeps moving into the product.** - Self-serve Directory Sync maps IdP groups to organization roles in ``, read-only without `org:sys_memberships:manage`. - An Organization can hold several SAML or OIDC connections; `organization_already_has_sso_connection` is gone. - SAML connections trust up to five signing certificates, so a key rotation no longer rejects sign-ins on either side of the switch. - Allowlisted users get a **Can't use SSO?** link and an email-code session when their IdP is unreachable. - Client ID Metadata Documents are GA: MCP and other public OAuth clients use an HTTPS URL as `client_id`, with no pre-issued credentials. Off by default behind **Publish CIMD support**.
