🔍 Additional Context

Note: This update includes both v0.0.75 and v0.0.76, which were released within 9 minutes of each other on January 22, 2026. Both versions contain the same feature set and improvements, suggesting v0.0.76 was a quick follow-up release.

The MCP Gateway is used as the default sandbox.agent container in MCP Gateway configuration (see pkg/constants/constants.go). The new customSchemas feature provides significant flexibility for defining custom MCP server types beyond the standard stdio and http transports.
