1 root 1.2 Revision history for AnyEvent::MCP
2    
3 root 1.57 0.82 (unreleased)
4     - bootstrap remote mcp-fs over a short Perl command, streaming the
5     launcher source over stdin. Avoid rsh command length limits and
6     preserve worker input across exec by using exact sysread.
7 root 1.58 - format mcp-fs sandbox grants, tools, trusted configuration keys
8     and permission action classes as individually searchable POD items.
9 root 1.59 - add a first-permission-dialog walkthrough to Intro.pod, explaining
10     one-time versus persistent grants, rule scopes and exec stdin risks;
11     correct its description of logical workdir IDs.
12 root 1.57
13 root 1.56 0.81 Thu 05 Nov 2026 04:51:59 CET
14 root 1.55 - keep OAuth2 tests working without optional Mail::IMAPTalk,
15     IO::Socket::SSL or Authen::SASL; skip only worker-specific checks.
16     - support optional `mount-try.SUFFIX = ro:/path` or `rw:/path` in
17     mcp-fs configuration. Pass these directly as bubblewrap
18     --ro-bind-try/--bind-try for each invocation, without startup path
19     checks, locally and remotely; required mount.* entries are unchanged.
20     - support one remote host per mcp-fs instance with -h/--host and
21     -e/--rsh; resolve remote workdirs and available tools in a single
22     startup probe, then execute existing workers through a binary-framed
23     remote Perl launcher without installing any MCP modules remotely.
24 root 1.56 - use logical absolute pathnames (without resolving symlinks) as compact
25     workdir IDs across hosts; qualify remote permission scopes independently.
26     Named profiles remain shared between instances. Report cached remote
27     VCS markers and remote umask.
28 root 1.55 - reserve -h for application-specific options; --help remains common.
29     - test remote workers, external GNU utilities, permission isolation,
30     shell argument quoting and startup probing using a mock remote shell
31     and bubblewrap, including unsandboxed/auto behavior. Verify matching
32 root 1.56 workdir IDs for identical logical paths across local and remote
33 root 1.55 instances.
34     - make mock remote-agent tests independent of a local SSH_AUTH_SOCK
35     inherited from the test runner (including CPAN Testers).
36     - document --eager when starting mcp-webbrowser through multibroker;
37     defer possible downstream preferences for --eager and --hidden.
38    
39 root 1.53 0.8 Thu 05 Nov 2026 01:52:48 CET
40 root 1.49 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: due to the added user management, existing
41     url tokens have been invalidated.
42 root 1.54 - limit distribution permission normalization to its staging
43     directory, and supply proper CPAN author and abstract metadata.
44 root 1.52 - give shared command-line switches their own reference in
45     Server::Simple; use individually indexed POD items for executable
46     options and application-specific shared-option behavior.
47 root 1.51 - refresh the introductory guide and mcp-imap/mcp-http manuals
48     with first-use workflows, OAuth2 setup, mailbox/search examples
49     and reverse-TLS troubleshooting; correct stale retry documentation.
50 root 1.50 - extend mcp-imap SEARCH filters with recursive AND/OR/NOT, header,
51     text/body, date, size and flag criteria; use explicitly quoted
52     IMAP arguments and bounded filter complexity.
53     - capture deliberately triggered connection errors in test assertions,
54     avoiding noisy successful test runs.
55 root 1.49 - expose IMAP LSUB to inspect subscribed mailboxes, alongside
56     subscribe/unsubscribe; return the same format as LIST.
57     - remove superseded IMAP OAuth provider and pagination prototypes
58     and their obsolete reference tests.
59 root 1.51 - defer outgoing mail submission research (mcp-smtp or mcp-imap)
60     in TODO.md.
61 root 1.48 - retry reverse connections only for TCP connection refusal and
62     unexpected disconnects; report and stop on other TCP errors or
63     TLS handshake/verification failures.
64     - force scalar context when checking Mail::IMAPTalk results;
65     list context truncated LIST responses and could corrupt SEARCH
66     results. Test with context-sensitive IMAP mocks.
67     - report HTTPS reverse-connection handshake failures rather than
68     silently retrying; send credentials only after verified TLS succeeds.
69     - omit pointless mailbox permission dimension for mcp-imap mailboxes.
70     - clarify expected OAuth redirect error page and account selection.
71     - implement mcp-imap OAuth2 authorization-code login with PKCE,
72     human-pasted headless browser redirect, HTTPS token exchange,
73     refresh-token persistence/rotation and IMAP SASL XOAUTH2.
74     Keep interactive credentials outside MCP tools and argv.
75     - omit unnecessary shell quotes in mcp-imap providers commands.
76     - expand mcp-imap providers with Thunderbird ISPDB domain search,
77     provider-hosted HTTPS autoconfig lookup and ISPDB fallback,
78     password-based IMAP alternatives and provider setup instructions;
79     continue printing optional OAuth configuration without saving it.
80 root 1.47 - add per-downstream --hidden to mcp-multibroker, omitting a
81     server's tools from normal discovery while retaining explicit
82     list-tools, discover-brokers and call-tool access.
83 root 1.46 - number the user management test consecutively as t/27_users.t.
84 root 1.45 - tidy Perl import grouping, internal comments and source layout
85     in the command-line tools and library modules.
86     - stop imposing an IMAP account file mode check; access is governed
87     by ordinary filesystem permissions.
88 root 1.44 - use the permission engine's literal matching convention for exact
89     user identities and test positive permission-scope validation.
90     - reject invalid browser WebSocket credentials via the documented
91     handshake exception interface, producing one specific warning.
92     - apply the same handshake rejection handling to Vim WebSocket
93     connections, including peer and invalid-token/path warnings.
94     - document user-management scopes and URL examples in command help.
95 root 1.43 - add scoped, revocable MCP users with HKDF-derived credentials,
96     an implicit global default user, and atomic user management;
97     list effective user URLs with --print-url[=USER], also accepting
98     --print-urls, without binding the advertised listener port.
99     - associate HTTP credentials with per-request users, bind user
100     identity to persistent permissions and permission continuations,
101     and delegate original users through trusted multibrokers.
102     - select the effective connect_user (default: default) for reverse
103     MCP, private Vim and browser connections, independently of normal
104     authenticated HTTP tool calls.
105 root 1.42 - treat empty directory paths as "." in mcp-fs list, find, grep and
106     VCS cwd, without accepting empty filenames.
107 root 1.41 - support opportunistic HTTP/HTTPS and reverse MCP connections on the
108     same listener, TLS certificate/key CLI options, and dual URL discovery;
109     support verified HTTPS for outgoing reverse connections.
110 root 1.39 - treat idle HTTP disconnects as normal EOF while retaining errors
111     for clients disconnecting during request headers or bodies.
112     - identify failing MCP connections by client name, remote address
113     and connection id, including modern per-request client metadata.
114 root 1.38 - trace local multibroker prompt starts, outcomes and cancellations
115     with elapsed time to diagnose disappearing permission dialogs.
116     - use an 8 MiB default MCP message size across JSONL and HTTP
117     clients and servers, allowing large base64 tool requests through
118     mcp-multibroker; log server transport errors at warn level
119     instead of silently closing connections.
120 root 1.37 - load AnyEvent::Log at compile time so its format_time call is parsed
121     as a function, fixing activity logging on Perl 5.10.
122    
123 root 1.36 0.71 Fri 30 Oct 2026 18:01:51 CET
124 root 1.35 - make multibroker-spawned children ask for permissions through MCP,
125     independently of the multibroker's own permission prompt mode.
126 root 1.36 - log VCS backend and a bounded, JSON-quoted preview of filenames for
127     vcs-diff, vcs-status and vcs-log.
128     - load only core modules in t/00_load.t; optional IMAP dependencies
129     are tested separately when available.
130     - let the fake bubblewrap test use the host temporary directory on
131     systems without /tmp (notably Termux).
132     - suppress Perl startup locale warnings in sandbox workers when
133     the requested C.UTF-8 locale is unavailable.
134     - canonicalize temporary test paths to match mcp-fs on systems with
135     symlinked temp directories; diagnose failing filesystem assertions.
136     - test SSE notification ordering at client delivery rather than
137     server enqueue time, avoiding a network scheduling race.
138     - diagnose failing multibroker HTTP integration tests with preflight
139     responses, RPC results and bounded server startup diagnostics.
140 root 1.35
141 root 1.34 0.7 Fri 30 Oct 2026 14:56:18 CET
142     - WARNING: mcp-imap is unfinished and has not been tested against a real IMAP server.
143     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: rules have changed, old rules will be erased.
144     - declare the same license terms as Perl itself in distribution metadata.
145     - new mcp servers in this release: mcp-http
146     - accept optional dimension default matcher for persistent-rule prompts;
147 root 1.33 - clarify that mcp-fs exec has private /tmp by default; shared-tmp
148     exposes host /tmp and is not needed for ordinary temporary files or IPC.
149 root 1.32 - add mcp-fs vcs-log for Git, SVN, CVS and Mercurial, reusing bounded
150     output and dedicated permission actions; SVN log receives network
151     and SSH-agent grants alongside CVS operations.
152 root 1.31 mcp-webbrowser prefers any JavaScript in the current tab, while the
153     independent origin dimension remains scoped to the current origin.
154 root 1.30 - log mcp-http requests with their method and a sanitized URL preview;
155     identify mcp-http/$VERSION in User-Agent unless overridden by the caller.
156 root 1.31 Allow generic key=value context in the shared mcp_log_request formatter.
157 root 1.29 - silently treat invalid saved permission-rule files as empty, prompting
158     instead of aborting broker startup; subsequent saves replace the old file.
159 root 1.30 - add mcp-http for arbitrary HTTP methods with URL-scoped approvals,
160     caller-managed cookie jars, bounded bodies and text grep/regex/substitution.
161     Disable redirects, retries and proxies; verify HTTPS certificates.
162     - derive browser permission origins from reported URLs, not a new
163     userscript field; keep older browser clients able to execute with
164     origin-scoped permissions.
165     - accept compatible browser-protocol minor versions; return empty
166     operation discovery for 1.0 clients instead of disconnecting them.
167 root 1.29 Direct rule saves no longer perform semantic validation.
168 root 1.28 - replace special-case subject, origin and workdir permission scopes with
169     named dimensions: metadata-driven prompts, generic match.NAME rule keys,
170     and engine-enforced matcher choices. Reject old request and rule fields;
171     no conversion or backward-compatible rule loading.
172 root 1.27 - preserve selected origin scopes when external permission helpers
173     forward persistent decisions through native MCP elicitation.
174 root 1.26 - add origin-scoped MCP permission rules, selectable independently of
175 root 1.30 code/tab scopes; mcp-webbrowser derives browser origins for
176 root 1.26 JavaScript and tab operations, with exact, any-port and any-origin
177     choices. Existing rules without origins continue to match all origins.
178 root 1.25 - use POSIX::uname instead of nonportable hostname -f for the XPCSE
179     browser nickname, consistent with HTTP URL wildcard host selection.
180     - make form helper test run via explicit ./ path, avoid early HTTP
181     timer races, and test filesystem discovery with optional tools absent.
182 root 1.23 - report browser protocol rejections through bounded WebSocket close
183     reasons; show abnormal disconnects in the userscript console and toast.
184     - document browser wire-protocol minor-version compatibility: accept
185     compatible older and newer clients without breaking base functionality.
186     - remove the obsolete private stdio permission-result bridge from
187     mcp-multibroker; use ordinary form elicitation.
188 root 1.22 - add per-tab operation discovery and calls to mcp-webbrowser, with
189     per-tab routing, ordinary MCP permissions and browser protocol 1.1;
190     the userscript initially advertises no extra operations.
191     - make the unsandboxed-warning test tolerate diagnostic output from
192     non-GNU utility probes (FreeBSD and BusyBox).
193     - add mcp-imap with one named password-authenticated account per instance,
194     bounded UID search, MIME reads, explicit mailbox/message mutations,
195     UIDPLUS-only targeted expunge, forked worker and MCP permissions.
196 root 1.21 - propagate XPCSE save response ETags back to Vim session metadata;
197     make stale upload HTTP status an editor error.
198     - require GNU sed in worker tool discovery; report missing-Perl diagnostics in tests.
199 root 1.18 - xpcse: forward Vim's :write! flag through mcp-vim to browser
200     uploads, without changing upload behavior yet.
201 root 1.19 - recommend rather than require WebSocket modules: only mcp-vim and
202     mcp-webbrowser use them; mcp-vim loads them only for browser clients,
203     and tests skip optional WebSocket coverage when unavailable.
204 root 1.18
205 root 1.17 0.65 Fri 23 Oct 2026 22:41:32 CEST
206 root 1.14 - fix mcp-webbrowser userscript title indicator duplicating prefixes on empty titles.
207 root 1.17 - use built scripts in make test PATH, avoiding source shebangs and
208     accidentally installed helpers in rule management tests.
209 root 1.15 - clarify browser execute code wrapper and reject function/symbol return
210     values instead of silently converting them to null.
211 root 1.17 - fix many bugs in the testsuite.
212 root 1.13
213 root 1.12 0.62 Thu 22 Oct 2026 13:32:52 CEST
214 root 1.16 - INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: mcp_getoptions now returns a hash reference instead of
215     a key/value list.
216 root 1.11 - Simple accepts server_name/server_version independently of the local
217     instance name, leaving server_info as an unmodified protocol override.
218     - query multibroker children in parallel for tool and broker discovery,
219     preserving tool order and returning partial results after 15 seconds
220     instead of blocking on an unresponsive child.
221 root 1.8 - accept a missing trailing slash on HTTP MCP endpoint URLs, working
222 root 1.10 around Claude's MCP connector wrongly dropping it from the configured URL,
223 root 1.18 thus corrupting it.
224 root 1.7 - allow omitted ports in reverse extension URLs, defaulting to port 80.
225 root 1.9 - fix MCP client/server version fields serialized as JSON numbers in 0.61.
226 root 1.7
227 root 1.6 0.61 Thu 22 Oct 2026 08:57:42 CEST
228 root 1.5 - resolve bind hostnames via AnyEvent::Socket instead of Socket::getaddrinfo.
229 root 1.4 - honor user-selected file permissions and preserve them across replacements.
230     - fix permission test fixture grants.
231     - fix activity log timestamp formatting on older perl versions.
232     - correct multibroker test tool count (including meta-instructions).
233     - fix perl 5.12 syntax errors in mcp-fs and mcp-vim.
234    
235 root 1.3 0.6 Wed 21 Oct 2026 20:43:20 CEST
236 root 1.2 - 34k LOC of pure llm madness. but seems to work. yay.
237 root 1.1
238     0.0 Sat 03 Oct 2026 07:29:39 CEST
239     - original version, an AnyEvent::HTTP clone.
