The MCP server you host yourself has no tags at all. It took Streamable HTTP and session hardening on 20 and 21 July and file downloads from 28 to 30 September, so pinning means pinning a commit hash. It has 29 tests, and the only workflow publishes the Docker image without running them. The README calls the SSE endpoints deprecated with no date.

The `@useparagon/connect` SDK was last released on 23 September, per the listing's 30 September check, and the research run found no tagged release or dated changelog entry in the last 90 days. The MCP server you host yourself has no tags at all. It took Streamable HTTP and session hardening on 20 and 21 July and file downloads from 28 to 30 September, so pinning means pinning a commit hash. It has 29 tests, and the only workflow publishes the Docker image without running them. The README calls the SSE endpoints deprecated with no date. As of the 30 September commit it defaults to development mode, which trusts `?user=`, and the published image doesn't override that. Two, because the code moves while the record stands still."
