Updates on the MCP Server Trigger

Support for External JWT

The MCP Server Trigger now supports authentication using External JWT, allowing validation of tokens from external identity providers (such as Auth0, Azure AD, and Okta) through an externalJWT header.

By centralizing authentication in an external IdP, you eliminate the need to manage isolated credentials and ensure a unified audit trail.

Enhanced compatibility with AI agents

We updated the MCP Server Trigger response to align with official MCP protocol specifications. Responses are now encapsulated inside the content field, enabling seamless, plug-and-play integration with AI agents.

This ensures accurate data interpretation and higher reliability for your AI-driven automation workflows.

Parquet connectors update: Improved JSON normalization

We've updated the Parquet File Reader and Stream Parquet File Reader connectors to improve JSON output when reading data using Parquet tools. The improvements focus on transforming raw data into readable formats with new parameters:

• convertDateFields: Enables DATE/TIMESTAMP fields to be converted from epoch/serial numbers to ISO-8601 strings.

• dateFieldPaths: Specifies fields if the schema lacks logical type declarations.

• decodeBase64Fields: Scans the output JSON to decode valid Base64 strings into UTF-8 text, replacing raw binary data with readable content.

Platform Improvements

Experience improvements

We’ve made several improvements to the user experience across the Build, Run, and Monitor pages, including:

• Added visual emphasis to filter dropdowns when a non-default value is selected.

• Introduced a new and improved date selector on the Monitor pages.

• Adjusted the size of input fields on the Executions and Pipeline Logs pages in Monitor.

• Updated the font weight of chart titles on the Metrics page in Monitor.

• Reordered columns in the Executions and Pipeline Logs tables.

Bug fixes

• Error on Azure Blob Storage when using Double Braces: We fixed a bug that caused an error on the Blob Storage connector when using Double Braces expressions.

• Error when reading Parquet files: We fixed a bug that caused an error when reading Parquet files using Parquet File Reader or Stream Parquet File Reader.
