# User Rev Content
1 root 1.2 Revision history for AnyEvent::MCP
2    
3 root 1.64 0.83 (unreleased)
4 root 1.65 - reuse the latest saved per-dimension scope as the next permission
5     rule editor's default where offered, otherwise keep the original
6     conservative choice; native, YAD and terminal forms agree.
7     - handle the common token-only HTTP endpoint in warning logs:
8     redact known tokens without misclassifying unrelated paths.
9     - include bounded, JSON-escaped request paths in rejected HTTP request
10     warnings; omit queries and redact configured and attempted URL tokens.
11 root 1.64 - show captured helper status, stderr and stdout when the permission
12     UI test fails, and report remote file-patch results and file content
13     when the mock remote filesystem test fails (CPAN Testers diagnostics).
14    
15 root 1.63 0.82 Fri 06 Nov 2026 15:53:46 CET
16     - add a first-permission-dialog walkthrough to Intro.pod, explaining
17     one-time versus persistent grants, rule scopes and exec stdin risks;
18     correct its description of logical workdir IDs.
19 root 1.62 - add common repeatable -s/--set KEY=VALUE process-local overrides
20     for trusted instance configuration, after program/instance defaults.
21     - key remote mcp-fs host permissions by --host alone, independent of
22     --rsh; add independent local/remote host scopes (this host by
23     default, or all hosts), retaining old unscoped saved rules.
24     Workdir scopes remain plain paths, independent of host.
25     - omit single-choice permission scope selectors from native, YAD and
26     terminal rule dialogs, automatically retaining the sole match in
27     saved rules without broadening their applicability.
28 root 1.60 - log rejected HTTP requests (status 400 and above) with method,
29     status and peer information, without leaking URL tokens; demote
30 root 1.61 ordinary connection/TLS errors to trace.
31 root 1.62 - do not warn on routine GET / requests; keep the normal 404
32     response without exposing a server-identification page.
33     - preserve mcp-vim subprocess stderr when its JSONL initialization
34     fails, instead of hiding the failure behind EOF and SIGPIPE.
35 root 1.57 - bootstrap remote mcp-fs over a short Perl command, streaming the
36     launcher source over stdin. Avoid rsh command length limits and
37     preserve worker input across exec by using exact sysread.
38 root 1.58 - format mcp-fs sandbox grants, tools, trusted configuration keys
39     and permission action classes as individually searchable POD items.
40 root 1.62 - give the mock remote filesystem test its running Perl interpreter
41     explicitly, rather than assuming it is in a fixed Unix PATH.
42     - avoid locale-dependent TCP error strings in reverse-connection tests,
43     and skip mcp-imap provider CLI tests when optional fork modules
44     are unavailable while retaining standalone provider parser tests.
45 root 1.57
46 root 1.56 0.81 Thu 05 Nov 2026 04:51:59 CET
47 root 1.55 - keep OAuth2 tests working without optional Mail::IMAPTalk,
48     IO::Socket::SSL or Authen::SASL; skip only worker-specific checks.
49     - support optional `mount-try.SUFFIX = ro:/path` or `rw:/path` in
50     mcp-fs configuration. Pass these directly as bubblewrap
51     --ro-bind-try/--bind-try for each invocation, without startup path
52     checks, locally and remotely; required mount.* entries are unchanged.
53     - support one remote host per mcp-fs instance with -h/--host and
54     -e/--rsh; resolve remote workdirs and available tools in a single
55     startup probe, then execute existing workers through a binary-framed
56     remote Perl launcher without installing any MCP modules remotely.
57 root 1.56 - use logical absolute pathnames (without resolving symlinks) as compact
58     workdir IDs across hosts; qualify remote permission scopes independently.
59     Named profiles remain shared between instances. Report cached remote
60     VCS markers and remote umask.
61 root 1.55 - reserve -h for application-specific options; --help remains common.
62     - test remote workers, external GNU utilities, permission isolation,
63     shell argument quoting and startup probing using a mock remote shell
64     and bubblewrap, including unsandboxed/auto behavior. Verify matching
65 root 1.56 workdir IDs for identical logical paths across local and remote
66 root 1.55 instances.
67     - make mock remote-agent tests independent of a local SSH_AUTH_SOCK
68     inherited from the test runner (including CPAN Testers).
69     - document --eager when starting mcp-webbrowser through multibroker;
70     defer possible downstream preferences for --eager and --hidden.
71    
72 root 1.53 0.8 Thu 05 Nov 2026 01:52:48 CET
73 root 1.49 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: due to the added user management, existing
74     url tokens have been invalidated.
75 root 1.54 - limit distribution permission normalization to its staging
76     directory, and supply proper CPAN author and abstract metadata.
77 root 1.52 - give shared command-line switches their own reference in
78     Server::Simple; use individually indexed POD items for executable
79     options and application-specific shared-option behavior.
80 root 1.51 - refresh the introductory guide and mcp-imap/mcp-http manuals
81     with first-use workflows, OAuth2 setup, mailbox/search examples
82     and reverse-TLS troubleshooting; correct stale retry documentation.
83 root 1.50 - extend mcp-imap SEARCH filters with recursive AND/OR/NOT, header,
84     text/body, date, size and flag criteria; use explicitly quoted
85     IMAP arguments and bounded filter complexity.
86     - capture deliberately triggered connection errors in test assertions,
87     avoiding noisy successful test runs.
88 root 1.49 - expose IMAP LSUB to inspect subscribed mailboxes, alongside
89     subscribe/unsubscribe; return the same format as LIST.
90     - remove superseded IMAP OAuth provider and pagination prototypes
91     and their obsolete reference tests.
92 root 1.51 - defer outgoing mail submission research (mcp-smtp or mcp-imap)
93     in TODO.md.
94 root 1.48 - retry reverse connections only for TCP connection refusal and
95     unexpected disconnects; report and stop on other TCP errors or
96     TLS handshake/verification failures.
97     - force scalar context when checking Mail::IMAPTalk results;
98     list context truncated LIST responses and could corrupt SEARCH
99     results. Test with context-sensitive IMAP mocks.
100     - report HTTPS reverse-connection handshake failures rather than
101     silently retrying; send credentials only after verified TLS succeeds.
102     - omit pointless mailbox permission dimension for mcp-imap mailboxes.
103     - clarify expected OAuth redirect error page and account selection.
104     - implement mcp-imap OAuth2 authorization-code login with PKCE,
105     human-pasted headless browser redirect, HTTPS token exchange,
106     refresh-token persistence/rotation and IMAP SASL XOAUTH2.
107     Keep interactive credentials outside MCP tools and argv.
108     - omit unnecessary shell quotes in mcp-imap providers commands.
109     - expand mcp-imap providers with Thunderbird ISPDB domain search,
110     provider-hosted HTTPS autoconfig lookup and ISPDB fallback,
111     password-based IMAP alternatives and provider setup instructions;
112     continue printing optional OAuth configuration without saving it.
113 root 1.47 - add per-downstream --hidden to mcp-multibroker, omitting a
114     server's tools from normal discovery while retaining explicit
115     list-tools, discover-brokers and call-tool access.
116 root 1.46 - number the user management test consecutively as t/27_users.t.
117 root 1.45 - tidy Perl import grouping, internal comments and source layout
118     in the command-line tools and library modules.
119     - stop imposing an IMAP account file mode check; access is governed
120     by ordinary filesystem permissions.
121 root 1.44 - use the permission engine's literal matching convention for exact
122     user identities and test positive permission-scope validation.
123     - reject invalid browser WebSocket credentials via the documented
124     handshake exception interface, producing one specific warning.
125     - apply the same handshake rejection handling to Vim WebSocket
126     connections, including peer and invalid-token/path warnings.
127     - document user-management scopes and URL examples in command help.
128 root 1.43 - add scoped, revocable MCP users with HKDF-derived credentials,
129     an implicit global default user, and atomic user management;
130     list effective user URLs with --print-url[=USER], also accepting
131     --print-urls, without binding the advertised listener port.
132     - associate HTTP credentials with per-request users, bind user
133     identity to persistent permissions and permission continuations,
134     and delegate original users through trusted multibrokers.
135     - select the effective connect_user (default: default) for reverse
136     MCP, private Vim and browser connections, independently of normal
137     authenticated HTTP tool calls.
138 root 1.42 - treat empty directory paths as "." in mcp-fs list, find, grep and
139     VCS cwd, without accepting empty filenames.
140 root 1.41 - support opportunistic HTTP/HTTPS and reverse MCP connections on the
141     same listener, TLS certificate/key CLI options, and dual URL discovery;
142     support verified HTTPS for outgoing reverse connections.
143 root 1.39 - treat idle HTTP disconnects as normal EOF while retaining errors
144     for clients disconnecting during request headers or bodies.
145     - identify failing MCP connections by client name, remote address
146     and connection id, including modern per-request client metadata.
147 root 1.38 - trace local multibroker prompt starts, outcomes and cancellations
148     with elapsed time to diagnose disappearing permission dialogs.
149     - use an 8 MiB default MCP message size across JSONL and HTTP
150     clients and servers, allowing large base64 tool requests through
151     mcp-multibroker; log server transport errors at warn level
152     instead of silently closing connections.
153 root 1.37 - load AnyEvent::Log at compile time so its format_time call is parsed
154     as a function, fixing activity logging on Perl 5.10.
155    
156 root 1.36 0.71 Fri 30 Oct 2026 18:01:51 CET
157 root 1.35 - make multibroker-spawned children ask for permissions through MCP,
158     independently of the multibroker's own permission prompt mode.
159 root 1.36 - log VCS backend and a bounded, JSON-quoted preview of filenames for
160     vcs-diff, vcs-status and vcs-log.
161     - load only core modules in t/00_load.t; optional IMAP dependencies
162     are tested separately when available.
163     - let the fake bubblewrap test use the host temporary directory on
164     systems without /tmp (notably Termux).
165     - suppress Perl startup locale warnings in sandbox workers when
166     the requested C.UTF-8 locale is unavailable.
167     - canonicalize temporary test paths to match mcp-fs on systems with
168     symlinked temp directories; diagnose failing filesystem assertions.
169     - test SSE notification ordering at client delivery rather than
170     server enqueue time, avoiding a network scheduling race.
171     - diagnose failing multibroker HTTP integration tests with preflight
172     responses, RPC results and bounded server startup diagnostics.
173 root 1.35
174 root 1.34 0.7 Fri 30 Oct 2026 14:56:18 CET
175     - WARNING: mcp-imap is unfinished and has not been tested against a real IMAP server.
176     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: rules have changed, old rules will be erased.
177     - declare the same license terms as Perl itself in distribution metadata.
178     - new mcp servers in this release: mcp-http
179     - accept optional dimension default matcher for persistent-rule prompts;
180 root 1.33 - clarify that mcp-fs exec has private /tmp by default; shared-tmp
181     exposes host /tmp and is not needed for ordinary temporary files or IPC.
182 root 1.32 - add mcp-fs vcs-log for Git, SVN, CVS and Mercurial, reusing bounded
183     output and dedicated permission actions; SVN log receives network
184     and SSH-agent grants alongside CVS operations.
185 root 1.31 mcp-webbrowser prefers any JavaScript in the current tab, while the
186     independent origin dimension remains scoped to the current origin.
187 root 1.30 - log mcp-http requests with their method and a sanitized URL preview;
188     identify mcp-http/$VERSION in User-Agent unless overridden by the caller.
189 root 1.31 Allow generic key=value context in the shared mcp_log_request formatter.
190 root 1.29 - silently treat invalid saved permission-rule files as empty, prompting
191     instead of aborting broker startup; subsequent saves replace the old file.
192 root 1.30 - add mcp-http for arbitrary HTTP methods with URL-scoped approvals,
193     caller-managed cookie jars, bounded bodies and text grep/regex/substitution.
194     Disable redirects, retries and proxies; verify HTTPS certificates.
195     - derive browser permission origins from reported URLs, not a new
196     userscript field; keep older browser clients able to execute with
197     origin-scoped permissions.
198     - accept compatible browser-protocol minor versions; return empty
199     operation discovery for 1.0 clients instead of disconnecting them.
200 root 1.29 Direct rule saves no longer perform semantic validation.
201 root 1.28 - replace special-case subject, origin and workdir permission scopes with
202     named dimensions: metadata-driven prompts, generic match.NAME rule keys,
203     and engine-enforced matcher choices. Reject old request and rule fields;
204     no conversion or backward-compatible rule loading.
205 root 1.27 - preserve selected origin scopes when external permission helpers
206     forward persistent decisions through native MCP elicitation.
207 root 1.26 - add origin-scoped MCP permission rules, selectable independently of
208 root 1.30 code/tab scopes; mcp-webbrowser derives browser origins for
209 root 1.26 JavaScript and tab operations, with exact, any-port and any-origin
210     choices. Existing rules without origins continue to match all origins.
211 root 1.25 - use POSIX::uname instead of nonportable hostname -f for the XPCSE
212     browser nickname, consistent with HTTP URL wildcard host selection.
213     - make form helper test run via explicit ./ path, avoid early HTTP
214     timer races, and test filesystem discovery with optional tools absent.
215 root 1.23 - report browser protocol rejections through bounded WebSocket close
216     reasons; show abnormal disconnects in the userscript console and toast.
217     - document browser wire-protocol minor-version compatibility: accept
218     compatible older and newer clients without breaking base functionality.
219     - remove the obsolete private stdio permission-result bridge from
220     mcp-multibroker; use ordinary form elicitation.
221 root 1.22 - add per-tab operation discovery and calls to mcp-webbrowser, with
222     per-tab routing, ordinary MCP permissions and browser protocol 1.1;
223     the userscript initially advertises no extra operations.
224     - make the unsandboxed-warning test tolerate diagnostic output from
225     non-GNU utility probes (FreeBSD and BusyBox).
226     - add mcp-imap with one named password-authenticated account per instance,
227     bounded UID search, MIME reads, explicit mailbox/message mutations,
228     UIDPLUS-only targeted expunge, forked worker and MCP permissions.
229 root 1.21 - propagate XPCSE save response ETags back to Vim session metadata;
230     make stale upload HTTP status an editor error.
231     - require GNU sed in worker tool discovery; report missing-Perl diagnostics in tests.
232 root 1.18 - xpcse: forward Vim's :write! flag through mcp-vim to browser
233     uploads, without changing upload behavior yet.
234 root 1.19 - recommend rather than require WebSocket modules: only mcp-vim and
235     mcp-webbrowser use them; mcp-vim loads them only for browser clients,
236     and tests skip optional WebSocket coverage when unavailable.
237 root 1.18
238 root 1.17 0.65 Fri 23 Oct 2026 22:41:32 CEST
239 root 1.14 - fix mcp-webbrowser userscript title indicator duplicating prefixes on empty titles.
240 root 1.17 - use built scripts in make test PATH, avoiding source shebangs and
241     accidentally installed helpers in rule management tests.
242 root 1.15 - clarify browser execute code wrapper and reject function/symbol return
243     values instead of silently converting them to null.
244 root 1.17 - fix many bugs in the testsuite.
245 root 1.13
246 root 1.12 0.62 Thu 22 Oct 2026 13:32:52 CEST
247 root 1.16 - INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: mcp_getoptions now returns a hash reference instead of
248     a key/value list.
249 root 1.11 - Simple accepts server_name/server_version independently of the local
250     instance name, leaving server_info as an unmodified protocol override.
251     - query multibroker children in parallel for tool and broker discovery,
252     preserving tool order and returning partial results after 15 seconds
253     instead of blocking on an unresponsive child.
254 root 1.8 - accept a missing trailing slash on HTTP MCP endpoint URLs, working
255 root 1.10 around Claude's MCP connector wrongly dropping it from the configured URL,
256 root 1.18 thus corrupting it.
257 root 1.7 - allow omitted ports in reverse extension URLs, defaulting to port 80.
258 root 1.9 - fix MCP client/server version fields serialized as JSON numbers in 0.61.
259 root 1.7
260 root 1.6 0.61 Thu 22 Oct 2026 08:57:42 CEST
261 root 1.5 - resolve bind hostnames via AnyEvent::Socket instead of Socket::getaddrinfo.
262 root 1.4 - honor user-selected file permissions and preserve them across replacements.
263     - fix permission test fixture grants.
264     - fix activity log timestamp formatting on older perl versions.
265     - correct multibroker test tool count (including meta-instructions).
266     - fix perl 5.12 syntax errors in mcp-fs and mcp-vim.
267    
268 root 1.3 0.6 Wed 21 Oct 2026 20:43:20 CEST
269 root 1.2 - 34k LOC of pure llm madness. but seems to work. yay.
270 root 1.1
271     0.0 Sat 03 Oct 2026 07:29:39 CEST
272     - original version, an AnyEvent::HTTP clone.
