Factorial's API ships quarterly versions, and added an MCP server and SDKs this summer.

◆Current state
Factorial's developer changelog follows dated API versions: 2026-04-01, 2026-07-01 and 2026-10-01 have shipped, and 2027-01-01 release notes are already posted. In July it added an MCP server and official TypeScript and Python SDKs with a skill for AI coding agents. The version entries carry no detail in this feed.
◆Where it's heading
The API is on a predictable quarterly release train with notes published a quarter ahead, which suits integrators planning upgrades. The July MCP server and agent skill show Factorial treating AI assistants and coding agents as API consumers alongside classic integrations.
◆Prediction
The 2027-01-01 API version is the next likely release, around the start of January, given the posted notes and quarterly pattern.
