Grav vs Sanity
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Grav and Sanity — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Grav vs Sanity: at a glance
What is Grav?
Grav backports a Clockwork profiler security fix from 2.1.7 to its 1.7 line.
Grav's only entry in the feed is 1.7.53.6, a patch to the legacy 1.7 branch. It backports a Grav 2.1.7 security fix so Clockwork profiler data requires a configured debugger.token, even for requests arriving from localhost through a same-server reverse proxy. It also keeps accented letters intact in title-derived slugs on PHP 7.3 to 8.1 with single-byte locales.
What is Sanity?
Sanity's MCP server now advertises itself to agents through a server card and llms.txt.
Sanity shipped three MCP server releases in two days. 2.44.0 makes the server discoverable through a /.well-known server card, an HTML or markdown landing page, robots.txt and llms.txt, and cuts CPU per request. 2.43.0 adds an undeploy_schema tool and deprecates workspaceName for schema selection. 2.42.2 fixes validation against deployed schemas and refuses patches that would change a document's _type.
Grav vs Sanity: editorial side-by-side
Grav
2.5DEVOPS
Grav backports a Clockwork profiler security fix from 2.1.7 to its 1.7 line.
◆ Current state
Grav's only entry in the feed is 1.7.53.6, a patch to the legacy 1.7 branch. It backports a Grav 2.1.7 security fix so Clockwork profiler data requires a configured debugger.token, even for requests arriving from localhost through a same-server reverse proxy. It also keeps accented letters intact in title-derived slugs on PHP 7.3 to 8.1 with single-byte locales.
◆ Where it's heading
The fix originates on Grav 2.x and is carried back to 1.7, so the project is maintaining two lines, with 1.7 receiving security and compatibility patches for older PHP versions. With a single entry, the cadence on either branch isn't visible yet.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 1.7.53.x patches that mirror security fixes from the 2.x line. The entries don't show how long 1.7 support continues.
Sanity
5.0DEVOPS
Sanity's MCP server now advertises itself to agents through a server card and llms.txt.
◆ Current state
Sanity shipped three MCP server releases in two days. 2.44.0 makes the server discoverable through a /.well-known server card, an HTML or markdown landing page, robots.txt and llms.txt, and cuts CPU per request. 2.43.0 adds an undeploy_schema tool and deprecates workspaceName for schema selection. 2.42.2 fixes validation against deployed schemas and refuses patches that would change a document's _type.
◆ Where it's heading
The MCP server is becoming the main way agents read and write Sanity content, and the work has shifted from adding tools to making it safe and findable: guarded patches, accurate safety annotations, full schema lifecycle and discovery metadata. Studio and Manage continue alongside it with speed work and admin features for larger organizations.
◆ Prediction
Expect workspaceName to be removed after the migration period, and more guardrails on write tools such as patch_documents.
