# User Rev Content
1 root 1.2 Revision history for AnyEvent::MCP
2    
3 root 1.64 0.83 (unreleased)
4 root 1.69 - allow shell-friendly instance names (ASCII alphanumerics, underscore,
5     hyphen, dot, @ and +), with separate strict managed-user names.
6     - fold small state-file locking and atomic replacement helper into
7     MCP.pm instead of a separate AnyEvent::MCP::File module.
8     - make --ask a shared common option, with per-option exclusion;
9     add --ask none to deny unresolved permissions and decline
10     downstream elicitation without prompting.
11 root 1.71 - document mcp-imap login keys individually in --help and manpage;
12     support tls connect/starttls/none (including explicit unencrypted IMAP)
13     and reset default ports on TLS mode changes.
14     - report LOGINDISABLED with no supported SASL mechanism cleanly on
15     IMAP password login, without obscure Authen::SASL warnings.
16 root 1.70 - add mcp_permissions to Simple: default permission engine, explicit
17     object or explicit undef; apply --ask and automatic rule overrides
18     centrally without dropping application-supplied automatic rules.
19 root 1.68 - give mcp-fs writable private /tmp and /var/tmp (mode 1777) even
20     with world-read; only shared-tmp or world-write exposes host
21     temporary directories. Make world-write formally imply shared-tmp
22     for permission checks; document the private/host lifetime distinction.
23     - add read-only mcp-imap previews for 25 UIDs, with bounded partial
24     MIME decoding, HTML link preservation and grouped IMAP FETCH calls.
25     - allow mcp-imap messages to fetch selected UIDs without SEARCH.
26     - actually truncate bounded IMAP part/raw responses to max_bytes,
27     not just flag them as truncated.
28 root 1.67 - use a 15-second HTTP read-inactivity timeout by default, suspended
29     while processing complete requests; respect explicit handle rtimeout.
30     - load MIME::Base64 in the HTTP server itself for encoded modern
31     Mcp-Name headers, without depending on the HTTP client loading it.
32 root 1.66 - log ordinary HTTP 404 responses at trace rather than warn,
33     including GET /; keep other HTTP rejection warnings.
34 root 1.65 - reuse the latest saved per-dimension scope as the next permission
35     rule editor's default where offered, otherwise keep the original
36     conservative choice; native, YAD and terminal forms agree.
37     - handle the common token-only HTTP endpoint in warning logs:
38     redact known tokens without misclassifying unrelated paths.
39     - include bounded, JSON-escaped request paths in rejected HTTP request
40     warnings; omit queries and redact configured and attempted URL tokens.
41 root 1.64 - show captured helper status, stderr and stdout when the permission
42     UI test fails, and report remote file-patch results and file content
43     when the mock remote filesystem test fails (CPAN Testers diagnostics).
44    
45 root 1.63 0.82 Fri 06 Nov 2026 15:53:46 CET
46     - add a first-permission-dialog walkthrough to Intro.pod, explaining
47     one-time versus persistent grants, rule scopes and exec stdin risks;
48     correct its description of logical workdir IDs.
49 root 1.62 - add common repeatable -s/--set KEY=VALUE process-local overrides
50     for trusted instance configuration, after program/instance defaults.
51     - key remote mcp-fs host permissions by --host alone, independent of
52     --rsh; add independent local/remote host scopes (this host by
53     default, or all hosts), retaining old unscoped saved rules.
54     Workdir scopes remain plain paths, independent of host.
55     - omit single-choice permission scope selectors from native, YAD and
56     terminal rule dialogs, automatically retaining the sole match in
57     saved rules without broadening their applicability.
58 root 1.60 - log rejected HTTP requests (status 400 and above) with method,
59     status and peer information, without leaking URL tokens; demote
60 root 1.61 ordinary connection/TLS errors to trace.
61 root 1.62 - do not warn on routine GET / requests; keep the normal 404
62     response without exposing a server-identification page.
63     - preserve mcp-vim subprocess stderr when its JSONL initialization
64     fails, instead of hiding the failure behind EOF and SIGPIPE.
65 root 1.57 - bootstrap remote mcp-fs over a short Perl command, streaming the
66     launcher source over stdin. Avoid rsh command length limits and
67     preserve worker input across exec by using exact sysread.
68 root 1.58 - format mcp-fs sandbox grants, tools, trusted configuration keys
69     and permission action classes as individually searchable POD items.
70 root 1.62 - give the mock remote filesystem test its running Perl interpreter
71     explicitly, rather than assuming it is in a fixed Unix PATH.
72     - avoid locale-dependent TCP error strings in reverse-connection tests,
73     and skip mcp-imap provider CLI tests when optional fork modules
74     are unavailable while retaining standalone provider parser tests.
75 root 1.57
76 root 1.56 0.81 Thu 05 Nov 2026 04:51:59 CET
77 root 1.55 - keep OAuth2 tests working without optional Mail::IMAPTalk,
78     IO::Socket::SSL or Authen::SASL; skip only worker-specific checks.
79     - support optional `mount-try.SUFFIX = ro:/path` or `rw:/path` in
80     mcp-fs configuration. Pass these directly as bubblewrap
81     --ro-bind-try/--bind-try for each invocation, without startup path
82     checks, locally and remotely; required mount.* entries are unchanged.
83     - support one remote host per mcp-fs instance with -h/--host and
84     -e/--rsh; resolve remote workdirs and available tools in a single
85     startup probe, then execute existing workers through a binary-framed
86     remote Perl launcher without installing any MCP modules remotely.
87 root 1.56 - use logical absolute pathnames (without resolving symlinks) as compact
88     workdir IDs across hosts; qualify remote permission scopes independently.
89     Named profiles remain shared between instances. Report cached remote
90     VCS markers and remote umask.
91 root 1.55 - reserve -h for application-specific options; --help remains common.
92     - test remote workers, external GNU utilities, permission isolation,
93     shell argument quoting and startup probing using a mock remote shell
94     and bubblewrap, including unsandboxed/auto behavior. Verify matching
95 root 1.56 workdir IDs for identical logical paths across local and remote
96 root 1.55 instances.
97     - make mock remote-agent tests independent of a local SSH_AUTH_SOCK
98     inherited from the test runner (including CPAN Testers).
99     - document --eager when starting mcp-webbrowser through multibroker;
100     defer possible downstream preferences for --eager and --hidden.
101    
102 root 1.53 0.8 Thu 05 Nov 2026 01:52:48 CET
103 root 1.49 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: due to the added user management, existing
104     url tokens have been invalidated.
105 root 1.54 - limit distribution permission normalization to its staging
106     directory, and supply proper CPAN author and abstract metadata.
107 root 1.52 - give shared command-line switches their own reference in
108     Server::Simple; use individually indexed POD items for executable
109     options and application-specific shared-option behavior.
110 root 1.51 - refresh the introductory guide and mcp-imap/mcp-http manuals
111     with first-use workflows, OAuth2 setup, mailbox/search examples
112     and reverse-TLS troubleshooting; correct stale retry documentation.
113 root 1.50 - extend mcp-imap SEARCH filters with recursive AND/OR/NOT, header,
114     text/body, date, size and flag criteria; use explicitly quoted
115     IMAP arguments and bounded filter complexity.
116     - capture deliberately triggered connection errors in test assertions,
117     avoiding noisy successful test runs.
118 root 1.49 - expose IMAP LSUB to inspect subscribed mailboxes, alongside
119     subscribe/unsubscribe; return the same format as LIST.
120     - remove superseded IMAP OAuth provider and pagination prototypes
121     and their obsolete reference tests.
122 root 1.51 - defer outgoing mail submission research (mcp-smtp or mcp-imap)
123     in TODO.md.
124 root 1.48 - retry reverse connections only for TCP connection refusal and
125     unexpected disconnects; report and stop on other TCP errors or
126     TLS handshake/verification failures.
127     - force scalar context when checking Mail::IMAPTalk results;
128     list context truncated LIST responses and could corrupt SEARCH
129     results. Test with context-sensitive IMAP mocks.
130     - report HTTPS reverse-connection handshake failures rather than
131     silently retrying; send credentials only after verified TLS succeeds.
132     - omit pointless mailbox permission dimension for mcp-imap mailboxes.
133     - clarify expected OAuth redirect error page and account selection.
134     - implement mcp-imap OAuth2 authorization-code login with PKCE,
135     human-pasted headless browser redirect, HTTPS token exchange,
136     refresh-token persistence/rotation and IMAP SASL XOAUTH2.
137     Keep interactive credentials outside MCP tools and argv.
138     - omit unnecessary shell quotes in mcp-imap providers commands.
139     - expand mcp-imap providers with Thunderbird ISPDB domain search,
140     provider-hosted HTTPS autoconfig lookup and ISPDB fallback,
141     password-based IMAP alternatives and provider setup instructions;
142     continue printing optional OAuth configuration without saving it.
143 root 1.47 - add per-downstream --hidden to mcp-multibroker, omitting a
144     server's tools from normal discovery while retaining explicit
145     list-tools, discover-brokers and call-tool access.
146 root 1.46 - number the user management test consecutively as t/27_users.t.
147 root 1.45 - tidy Perl import grouping, internal comments and source layout
148     in the command-line tools and library modules.
149     - stop imposing an IMAP account file mode check; access is governed
150     by ordinary filesystem permissions.
151 root 1.44 - use the permission engine's literal matching convention for exact
152     user identities and test positive permission-scope validation.
153     - reject invalid browser WebSocket credentials via the documented
154     handshake exception interface, producing one specific warning.
155     - apply the same handshake rejection handling to Vim WebSocket
156     connections, including peer and invalid-token/path warnings.
157     - document user-management scopes and URL examples in command help.
158 root 1.43 - add scoped, revocable MCP users with HKDF-derived credentials,
159     an implicit global default user, and atomic user management;
160     list effective user URLs with --print-url[=USER], also accepting
161     --print-urls, without binding the advertised listener port.
162     - associate HTTP credentials with per-request users, bind user
163     identity to persistent permissions and permission continuations,
164     and delegate original users through trusted multibrokers.
165     - select the effective connect_user (default: default) for reverse
166     MCP, private Vim and browser connections, independently of normal
167     authenticated HTTP tool calls.
168 root 1.42 - treat empty directory paths as "." in mcp-fs list, find, grep and
169     VCS cwd, without accepting empty filenames.
170 root 1.41 - support opportunistic HTTP/HTTPS and reverse MCP connections on the
171     same listener, TLS certificate/key CLI options, and dual URL discovery;
172     support verified HTTPS for outgoing reverse connections.
173 root 1.39 - treat idle HTTP disconnects as normal EOF while retaining errors
174     for clients disconnecting during request headers or bodies.
175     - identify failing MCP connections by client name, remote address
176     and connection id, including modern per-request client metadata.
177 root 1.38 - trace local multibroker prompt starts, outcomes and cancellations
178     with elapsed time to diagnose disappearing permission dialogs.
179     - use an 8 MiB default MCP message size across JSONL and HTTP
180     clients and servers, allowing large base64 tool requests through
181     mcp-multibroker; log server transport errors at warn level
182     instead of silently closing connections.
183 root 1.37 - load AnyEvent::Log at compile time so its format_time call is parsed
184     as a function, fixing activity logging on Perl 5.10.
185    
186 root 1.36 0.71 Fri 30 Oct 2026 18:01:51 CET
187 root 1.35 - make multibroker-spawned children ask for permissions through MCP,
188     independently of the multibroker's own permission prompt mode.
189 root 1.36 - log VCS backend and a bounded, JSON-quoted preview of filenames for
190     vcs-diff, vcs-status and vcs-log.
191     - load only core modules in t/00_load.t; optional IMAP dependencies
192     are tested separately when available.
193     - let the fake bubblewrap test use the host temporary directory on
194     systems without /tmp (notably Termux).
195     - suppress Perl startup locale warnings in sandbox workers when
196     the requested C.UTF-8 locale is unavailable.
197     - canonicalize temporary test paths to match mcp-fs on systems with
198     symlinked temp directories; diagnose failing filesystem assertions.
199     - test SSE notification ordering at client delivery rather than
200     server enqueue time, avoiding a network scheduling race.
201     - diagnose failing multibroker HTTP integration tests with preflight
202     responses, RPC results and bounded server startup diagnostics.
203 root 1.35
204 root 1.34 0.7 Fri 30 Oct 2026 14:56:18 CET
205     - WARNING: mcp-imap is unfinished and has not been tested against a real IMAP server.
206     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: rules have changed, old rules will be erased.
207     - declare the same license terms as Perl itself in distribution metadata.
208     - new mcp servers in this release: mcp-http
209     - accept optional dimension default matcher for persistent-rule prompts;
210 root 1.33 - clarify that mcp-fs exec has private /tmp by default; shared-tmp
211     exposes host /tmp and is not needed for ordinary temporary files or IPC.
212 root 1.32 - add mcp-fs vcs-log for Git, SVN, CVS and Mercurial, reusing bounded
213     output and dedicated permission actions; SVN log receives network
214     and SSH-agent grants alongside CVS operations.
215 root 1.31 mcp-webbrowser prefers any JavaScript in the current tab, while the
216     independent origin dimension remains scoped to the current origin.
217 root 1.30 - log mcp-http requests with their method and a sanitized URL preview;
218     identify mcp-http/$VERSION in User-Agent unless overridden by the caller.
219 root 1.31 Allow generic key=value context in the shared mcp_log_request formatter.
220 root 1.29 - silently treat invalid saved permission-rule files as empty, prompting
221     instead of aborting broker startup; subsequent saves replace the old file.
222 root 1.30 - add mcp-http for arbitrary HTTP methods with URL-scoped approvals,
223     caller-managed cookie jars, bounded bodies and text grep/regex/substitution.
224     Disable redirects, retries and proxies; verify HTTPS certificates.
225     - derive browser permission origins from reported URLs, not a new
226     userscript field; keep older browser clients able to execute with
227     origin-scoped permissions.
228     - accept compatible browser-protocol minor versions; return empty
229     operation discovery for 1.0 clients instead of disconnecting them.
230 root 1.29 Direct rule saves no longer perform semantic validation.
231 root 1.28 - replace special-case subject, origin and workdir permission scopes with
232     named dimensions: metadata-driven prompts, generic match.NAME rule keys,
233     and engine-enforced matcher choices. Reject old request and rule fields;
234     no conversion or backward-compatible rule loading.
235 root 1.27 - preserve selected origin scopes when external permission helpers
236     forward persistent decisions through native MCP elicitation.
237 root 1.26 - add origin-scoped MCP permission rules, selectable independently of
238 root 1.30 code/tab scopes; mcp-webbrowser derives browser origins for
239 root 1.26 JavaScript and tab operations, with exact, any-port and any-origin
240     choices. Existing rules without origins continue to match all origins.
241 root 1.25 - use POSIX::uname instead of nonportable hostname -f for the XPCSE
242     browser nickname, consistent with HTTP URL wildcard host selection.
243     - make form helper test run via explicit ./ path, avoid early HTTP
244     timer races, and test filesystem discovery with optional tools absent.
245 root 1.23 - report browser protocol rejections through bounded WebSocket close
246     reasons; show abnormal disconnects in the userscript console and toast.
247     - document browser wire-protocol minor-version compatibility: accept
248     compatible older and newer clients without breaking base functionality.
249     - remove the obsolete private stdio permission-result bridge from
250     mcp-multibroker; use ordinary form elicitation.
251 root 1.22 - add per-tab operation discovery and calls to mcp-webbrowser, with
252     per-tab routing, ordinary MCP permissions and browser protocol 1.1;
253     the userscript initially advertises no extra operations.
254     - make the unsandboxed-warning test tolerate diagnostic output from
255     non-GNU utility probes (FreeBSD and BusyBox).
256     - add mcp-imap with one named password-authenticated account per instance,
257     bounded UID search, MIME reads, explicit mailbox/message mutations,
258     UIDPLUS-only targeted expunge, forked worker and MCP permissions.
259 root 1.21 - propagate XPCSE save response ETags back to Vim session metadata;
260     make stale upload HTTP status an editor error.
261     - require GNU sed in worker tool discovery; report missing-Perl diagnostics in tests.
262 root 1.18 - xpcse: forward Vim's :write! flag through mcp-vim to browser
263     uploads, without changing upload behavior yet.
264 root 1.19 - recommend rather than require WebSocket modules: only mcp-vim and
265     mcp-webbrowser use them; mcp-vim loads them only for browser clients,
266     and tests skip optional WebSocket coverage when unavailable.
267 root 1.18
268 root 1.17 0.65 Fri 23 Oct 2026 22:41:32 CEST
269 root 1.14 - fix mcp-webbrowser userscript title indicator duplicating prefixes on empty titles.
270 root 1.17 - use built scripts in make test PATH, avoiding source shebangs and
271     accidentally installed helpers in rule management tests.
272 root 1.15 - clarify browser execute code wrapper and reject function/symbol return
273     values instead of silently converting them to null.
274 root 1.17 - fix many bugs in the testsuite.
275 root 1.13
276 root 1.12 0.62 Thu 22 Oct 2026 13:32:52 CEST
277 root 1.16 - INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: mcp_getoptions now returns a hash reference instead of
278     a key/value list.
279 root 1.11 - Simple accepts server_name/server_version independently of the local
280     instance name, leaving server_info as an unmodified protocol override.
281     - query multibroker children in parallel for tool and broker discovery,
282     preserving tool order and returning partial results after 15 seconds
283     instead of blocking on an unresponsive child.
284 root 1.8 - accept a missing trailing slash on HTTP MCP endpoint URLs, working
285 root 1.10 around Claude's MCP connector wrongly dropping it from the configured URL,
286 root 1.18 thus corrupting it.
287 root 1.7 - allow omitted ports in reverse extension URLs, defaulting to port 80.
288 root 1.9 - fix MCP client/server version fields serialized as JSON numbers in 0.61.
289 root 1.7
290 root 1.6 0.61 Thu 22 Oct 2026 08:57:42 CEST
291 root 1.5 - resolve bind hostnames via AnyEvent::Socket instead of Socket::getaddrinfo.
292 root 1.4 - honor user-selected file permissions and preserve them across replacements.
293     - fix permission test fixture grants.
294     - fix activity log timestamp formatting on older perl versions.
295     - correct multibroker test tool count (including meta-instructions).
296     - fix perl 5.12 syntax errors in mcp-fs and mcp-vim.
297    
298 root 1.3 0.6 Wed 21 Oct 2026 20:43:20 CEST
299 root 1.2 - 34k LOC of pure llm madness. but seems to work. yay.
300 root 1.1
301     0.0 Sat 03 Oct 2026 07:29:39 CEST
302     - original version, an AnyEvent::HTTP clone.
