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