Relax version 2.2.0, for Coldbox, is now available and includes a number of bug fixes and improvements. Relax, aptly subtitled "RESTful tools for lazy experts", is a Coldbox module, which makes it easy for developers to conduct modeling, documentation and testing for their RESTful APIs. The easiest way to get started with Relax is by installing it via CommandBox from the root of your ColdBox application:


box install relax

Once Relax is installed, an example API is available to help you get started. Additional documentation is also available. To upgrade your existing installation of Relax, simply run:


box update relax

Happy coding!

🚀 ColdBox CLI 8.11: The Era of AI Skills Comes to Every ColdBox & BoxLang App

ColdBox CLI 8.11 is here, and it's one of the most significant releases we've shipped for AI-assisted development. This release wires the CLI directly into our brand new public skills directory at skills.boxlang.io, brings our AI tooling in line with industry-wide agent conventions, and introduces a wave of quality-of-life improvements that make AI integration feel less like setup and more like infrastructure.

🛰️ Introducing cbMCP — Your ColdBox App, Live to Every AI Agent

Today we're releasing cbMCP, the official ColdBox MCP Server — a BoxLang-only module that turns your running ColdBox application into a fully-compliant Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Plug in any MCP-capable AI client — Claude Desktop, VS Code Copilot, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode — and your AI assistant gets live, read-only introspection across the entire ColdBox platform: routing, handlers, modules, WireBox, CacheBox, LogBox, schedulers, interceptors, and async executors. 🎯
