Revision history for AnyEvent::MCP

0.83  (unreleased)
        - include mailbox, destination, operation, batch size, paging position
          and bounded SEARCH criteria in mcp-imap request logs, without
          logging message bodies or UID lists.
        - keep remote filesystem tests valid with long CPAN tester Perl paths:
          the mock rsh checks the short loader overhead without imposing
          an artificial 256-byte limit on the executable pathname.
        - shorten mcp-fs remote bootstrap: embed the launcher byte length with
          sprintf and append source directly via sysread without extra argv.
        - raise sort_create/sort_page UID page maximum from 100 to 1000,
          keeping the default at 100 and leaving message fetching and MOVE
          batches capped at 100.
        - enable multibroker-managed idle exit in mcp-http and mcp-ask-user
          after 300 seconds, and mcp-imap after 3600 seconds (mcp-fs already
          supported 300 seconds). Retain ask-user continuations; disposable
          IMAP SORT snapshots are lost on idle exit. Retry declined idle
          shutdown after the interval.
        - add worker-local immutable UID SORT (SUBJECT DATE) snapshots for
          subject-grouped classification: sort_create returns the first 100
          UIDs, sort_page pages without re-sorting, sort_discard frees the
          snapshot; one snapshot per worker, invalidated on restart.
        - expose read-only UID THREAD ORDEREDSUBJECT through mcp-imap:
          group by base subject with optional SEARCH filter and UID range,
          retaining the complete nested server order without pagination.
        - keep mcp-imap connections alive with an idle NOOP (250 seconds by
          default, configurable via --keepalive, 0 disables); stop pinging
          on failure, and reconnect on the next tool call without retrying
          interrupted operations.
        - allow shell-friendly instance names (ASCII alphanumerics, underscore,
          hyphen, dot, @ and +), with separate strict managed-user names.
        - fold small state-file locking and atomic replacement helper into
          MCP.pm instead of a separate AnyEvent::MCP::File module.
        - make --ask a shared common option, with per-option exclusion;
          add --ask none to deny unresolved permissions and decline
          downstream elicitation without prompting.
        - document mcp-imap login keys individually in --help and manpage;
          support tls connect/starttls/none (including explicit unencrypted IMAP)
          and reset default ports on TLS mode changes.
        - report LOGINDISABLED with no supported SASL mechanism cleanly on
          IMAP password login, without obscure Authen::SASL warnings.
        - add mcp_permissions to Simple: default permission engine, explicit
          object or explicit undef; apply --ask and automatic rule overrides
          centrally without dropping application-supplied automatic rules.
        - give mcp-fs writable private /tmp and /var/tmp (mode 1777) even
          with world-read; only shared-tmp or world-write exposes host
          temporary directories. Make world-write formally imply shared-tmp
          for permission checks; document the private/host lifetime distinction.
        - add read-only mcp-imap previews for 25 UIDs, with bounded partial
          MIME decoding, HTML link preservation and grouped IMAP FETCH calls.
        - allow mcp-imap messages to fetch selected UIDs without SEARCH.
        - actually truncate bounded IMAP part/raw responses to max_bytes,
          not just flag them as truncated.
        - use a 15-second HTTP read-inactivity timeout by default, suspended
          while processing complete requests; respect explicit handle rtimeout.
        - load MIME::Base64 in the HTTP server itself for encoded modern
          Mcp-Name headers, without depending on the HTTP client loading it.
        - log ordinary HTTP 404 responses at trace rather than warn,
          including GET /; keep other HTTP rejection warnings.
        - return 404 to GET / even when / is the MCP POST endpoint; drop
          the unhelpful connection object address from HTTP rejection logs
          while retaining the remote address and sanitized URI.
        - reuse the latest saved per-dimension scope as the next permission
          rule editor's default where offered, otherwise keep the original
          conservative choice; native, YAD and terminal forms agree.
        - handle the common token-only HTTP endpoint in warning logs:
          redact known tokens without misclassifying unrelated paths.
        - include bounded, JSON-escaped request paths in rejected HTTP request
          warnings; omit queries and redact configured and attempted URL tokens.
        - show captured helper status, stderr and stdout when the permission
          UI test fails, and report remote file-patch results and file content
          when the mock remote filesystem test fails (CPAN Testers diagnostics).

0.82  Fri 06 Nov 2026 15:53:46 CET
        - add a first-permission-dialog walkthrough to Intro.pod, explaining
          one-time versus persistent grants, rule scopes and exec stdin risks;
          correct its description of logical workdir IDs.
        - add common repeatable -s/--set KEY=VALUE process-local overrides
          for trusted instance configuration, after program/instance defaults.
        - key remote mcp-fs host permissions by --host alone, independent of
          --rsh; add independent local/remote host scopes (this host by
          default, or all hosts), retaining old unscoped saved rules.
          Workdir scopes remain plain paths, independent of host.
        - omit single-choice permission scope selectors from native, YAD and
          terminal rule dialogs, automatically retaining the sole match in
          saved rules without broadening their applicability.
        - log rejected HTTP requests (status 400 and above) with method,
          status and peer information, without leaking URL tokens; demote
          ordinary connection/TLS errors to trace.
        - do not warn on routine GET / requests; keep the normal 404
          response without exposing a server-identification page.
        - preserve mcp-vim subprocess stderr when its JSONL initialization
          fails, instead of hiding the failure behind EOF and SIGPIPE.
        - bootstrap remote mcp-fs over a short Perl command, streaming the
          launcher source over stdin. Avoid rsh command length limits and
          preserve worker input across exec by using exact sysread.
        - format mcp-fs sandbox grants, tools, trusted configuration keys
          and permission action classes as individually searchable POD items.
        - give the mock remote filesystem test its running Perl interpreter
          explicitly, rather than assuming it is in a fixed Unix PATH.
        - avoid locale-dependent TCP error strings in reverse-connection tests,
          and skip mcp-imap provider CLI tests when optional fork modules
          are unavailable while retaining standalone provider parser tests.

0.81  Thu 05 Nov 2026 04:51:59 CET
        - keep OAuth2 tests working without optional Mail::IMAPTalk,
          IO::Socket::SSL or Authen::SASL; skip only worker-specific checks.
        - support optional `mount-try.SUFFIX = ro:/path` or `rw:/path` in
          mcp-fs configuration. Pass these directly as bubblewrap
          --ro-bind-try/--bind-try for each invocation, without startup path
          checks, locally and remotely; required mount.* entries are unchanged.
        - support one remote host per mcp-fs instance with -h/--host and
          -e/--rsh; resolve remote workdirs and available tools in a single
          startup probe, then execute existing workers through a binary-framed
          remote Perl launcher without installing any MCP modules remotely.
        - use logical absolute pathnames (without resolving symlinks) as compact
          workdir IDs across hosts; qualify remote permission scopes independently.
          Named profiles remain shared between instances. Report cached remote
          VCS markers and remote umask.
        - reserve -h for application-specific options; --help remains common.
        - test remote workers, external GNU utilities, permission isolation,
          shell argument quoting and startup probing using a mock remote shell
          and bubblewrap, including unsandboxed/auto behavior. Verify matching
          workdir IDs for identical logical paths across local and remote
          instances.
        - make mock remote-agent tests independent of a local SSH_AUTH_SOCK
          inherited from the test runner (including CPAN Testers).
        - document --eager when starting mcp-webbrowser through multibroker;
          defer possible downstream preferences for --eager and --hidden.

0.8   Thu 05 Nov 2026 01:52:48 CET
        - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: due to the added user management, existing
          url tokens have been invalidated.
        - limit distribution permission normalization to its staging
          directory, and supply proper CPAN author and abstract metadata.
        - give shared command-line switches their own reference in
          Server::Simple; use individually indexed POD items for executable
          options and application-specific shared-option behavior.
        - refresh the introductory guide and mcp-imap/mcp-http manuals
          with first-use workflows, OAuth2 setup, mailbox/search examples
          and reverse-TLS troubleshooting; correct stale retry documentation.
        - extend mcp-imap SEARCH filters with recursive AND/OR/NOT, header,
          text/body, date, size and flag criteria; use explicitly quoted
          IMAP arguments and bounded filter complexity.
        - capture deliberately triggered connection errors in test assertions,
          avoiding noisy successful test runs.
        - expose IMAP LSUB to inspect subscribed mailboxes, alongside
          subscribe/unsubscribe; return the same format as LIST.
        - remove superseded IMAP OAuth provider and pagination prototypes
          and their obsolete reference tests.
        - defer outgoing mail submission research (mcp-smtp or mcp-imap)
          in TODO.md.
        - retry reverse connections only for TCP connection refusal and
          unexpected disconnects; report and stop on other TCP errors or
          TLS handshake/verification failures.
        - force scalar context when checking Mail::IMAPTalk results;
          list context truncated LIST responses and could corrupt SEARCH
          results. Test with context-sensitive IMAP mocks.
        - report HTTPS reverse-connection handshake failures rather than
          silently retrying; send credentials only after verified TLS succeeds.
        - omit pointless mailbox permission dimension for mcp-imap mailboxes.
        - clarify expected OAuth redirect error page and account selection.
        - implement mcp-imap OAuth2 authorization-code login with PKCE,
          human-pasted headless browser redirect, HTTPS token exchange,
          refresh-token persistence/rotation and IMAP SASL XOAUTH2.
          Keep interactive credentials outside MCP tools and argv.
        - omit unnecessary shell quotes in mcp-imap providers commands.
        - expand mcp-imap providers with Thunderbird ISPDB domain search,
          provider-hosted HTTPS autoconfig lookup and ISPDB fallback,
          password-based IMAP alternatives and provider setup instructions;
          continue printing optional OAuth configuration without saving it.
        - add per-downstream --hidden to mcp-multibroker, omitting a
          server's tools from normal discovery while retaining explicit
          list-tools, discover-brokers and call-tool access.
        - number the user management test consecutively as t/27_users.t.
        - tidy Perl import grouping, internal comments and source layout
          in the command-line tools and library modules.
        - stop imposing an IMAP account file mode check; access is governed
          by ordinary filesystem permissions.
        - use the permission engine's literal matching convention for exact
          user identities and test positive permission-scope validation.
        - reject invalid browser WebSocket credentials via the documented
          handshake exception interface, producing one specific warning.
        - apply the same handshake rejection handling to Vim WebSocket
          connections, including peer and invalid-token/path warnings.
        - document user-management scopes and URL examples in command help.
        - add scoped, revocable MCP users with HKDF-derived credentials,
          an implicit global default user, and atomic user management;
          list effective user URLs with --print-url[=USER], also accepting
          --print-urls, without binding the advertised listener port.
        - associate HTTP credentials with per-request users, bind user
          identity to persistent permissions and permission continuations,
          and delegate original users through trusted multibrokers.
        - select the effective connect_user (default: default) for reverse
          MCP, private Vim and browser connections, independently of normal
          authenticated HTTP tool calls.
        - treat empty directory paths as "." in mcp-fs list, find, grep and
          VCS cwd, without accepting empty filenames.
        - support opportunistic HTTP/HTTPS and reverse MCP connections on the
          same listener, TLS certificate/key CLI options, and dual URL discovery;
          support verified HTTPS for outgoing reverse connections.
        - treat idle HTTP disconnects as normal EOF while retaining errors
          for clients disconnecting during request headers or bodies.
        - identify failing MCP connections by client name, remote address
          and connection id, including modern per-request client metadata.
        - trace local multibroker prompt starts, outcomes and cancellations
          with elapsed time to diagnose disappearing permission dialogs.
        - use an 8 MiB default MCP message size across JSONL and HTTP
          clients and servers, allowing large base64 tool requests through
          mcp-multibroker; log server transport errors at warn level
          instead of silently closing connections.
        - load AnyEvent::Log at compile time so its format_time call is parsed
          as a function, fixing activity logging on Perl 5.10.

0.71  Fri 30 Oct 2026 18:01:51 CET
        - make multibroker-spawned children ask for permissions through MCP,
          independently of the multibroker's own permission prompt mode.
        - log VCS backend and a bounded, JSON-quoted preview of filenames for
          vcs-diff, vcs-status and vcs-log.
        - load only core modules in t/00_load.t; optional IMAP dependencies
          are tested separately when available.
        - let the fake bubblewrap test use the host temporary directory on
          systems without /tmp (notably Termux).
        - suppress Perl startup locale warnings in sandbox workers when
          the requested C.UTF-8 locale is unavailable.
        - canonicalize temporary test paths to match mcp-fs on systems with
          symlinked temp directories; diagnose failing filesystem assertions.
        - test SSE notification ordering at client delivery rather than
          server enqueue time, avoiding a network scheduling race.
        - diagnose failing multibroker HTTP integration tests with preflight
          responses, RPC results and bounded server startup diagnostics.

0.7   Fri 30 Oct 2026 14:56:18 CET
        - WARNING: mcp-imap is unfinished and has not been tested against a real IMAP server.
        - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: rules have changed, old rules will be erased.
        - declare the same license terms as Perl itself in distribution metadata.
        - new mcp servers in this release: mcp-http
        - accept optional dimension default matcher for persistent-rule prompts;
        - clarify that mcp-fs exec has private /tmp by default; shared-tmp
          exposes host /tmp and is not needed for ordinary temporary files or IPC.
        - add mcp-fs vcs-log for Git, SVN, CVS and Mercurial, reusing bounded
          output and dedicated permission actions; SVN log receives network
          and SSH-agent grants alongside CVS operations.
          mcp-webbrowser prefers any JavaScript in the current tab, while the
          independent origin dimension remains scoped to the current origin.
        - log mcp-http requests with their method and a sanitized URL preview;
          identify mcp-http/$VERSION in User-Agent unless overridden by the caller.
          Allow generic key=value context in the shared mcp_log_request formatter.
        - silently treat invalid saved permission-rule files as empty, prompting
          instead of aborting broker startup; subsequent saves replace the old file.
        - add mcp-http for arbitrary HTTP methods with URL-scoped approvals,
          caller-managed cookie jars, bounded bodies and text grep/regex/substitution.
          Disable redirects, retries and proxies; verify HTTPS certificates.
        - derive browser permission origins from reported URLs, not a new
          userscript field; keep older browser clients able to execute with
          origin-scoped permissions.
        - accept compatible browser-protocol minor versions; return empty
          operation discovery for 1.0 clients instead of disconnecting them.
          Direct rule saves no longer perform semantic validation.
        - replace special-case subject, origin and workdir permission scopes with
          named dimensions: metadata-driven prompts, generic match.NAME rule keys,
          and engine-enforced matcher choices. Reject old request and rule fields;
          no conversion or backward-compatible rule loading.
        - preserve selected origin scopes when external permission helpers
          forward persistent decisions through native MCP elicitation.
        - add origin-scoped MCP permission rules, selectable independently of
          code/tab scopes; mcp-webbrowser derives browser origins for
          JavaScript and tab operations, with exact, any-port and any-origin
          choices. Existing rules without origins continue to match all origins.
        - use POSIX::uname instead of nonportable hostname -f for the XPCSE
          browser nickname, consistent with HTTP URL wildcard host selection.
        - make form helper test run via explicit ./ path, avoid early HTTP
          timer races, and test filesystem discovery with optional tools absent.
        - report browser protocol rejections through bounded WebSocket close
          reasons; show abnormal disconnects in the userscript console and toast.
        - document browser wire-protocol minor-version compatibility: accept
          compatible older and newer clients without breaking base functionality.
        - remove the obsolete private stdio permission-result bridge from
          mcp-multibroker; use ordinary form elicitation.
        - add per-tab operation discovery and calls to mcp-webbrowser, with
          per-tab routing, ordinary MCP permissions and browser protocol 1.1;
          the userscript initially advertises no extra operations.
        - make the unsandboxed-warning test tolerate diagnostic output from
          non-GNU utility probes (FreeBSD and BusyBox).
        - add mcp-imap with one named password-authenticated account per instance,
          bounded UID search, MIME reads, explicit mailbox/message mutations,
          UIDPLUS-only targeted expunge, forked worker and MCP permissions.
        - propagate XPCSE save response ETags back to Vim session metadata;
          make stale upload HTTP status an editor error.
        - require GNU sed in worker tool discovery; report missing-Perl diagnostics in tests.
        - xpcse: forward Vim's :write! flag through mcp-vim to browser
          uploads, without changing upload behavior yet.
        - recommend rather than require WebSocket modules: only mcp-vim and
          mcp-webbrowser use them; mcp-vim loads them only for browser clients,
          and tests skip optional WebSocket coverage when unavailable.

0.65  Fri 23 Oct 2026 22:41:32 CEST
        - fix mcp-webbrowser userscript title indicator duplicating prefixes on empty titles.
        - use built scripts in make test PATH, avoiding source shebangs and
          accidentally installed helpers in rule management tests.
        - clarify browser execute code wrapper and reject function/symbol return
          values instead of silently converting them to null.
        - fix many bugs in the testsuite.

0.62  Thu 22 Oct 2026 13:32:52 CEST
        - INCOMPATIBLE API CHANGE: mcp_getoptions now returns a hash reference instead of
          a key/value list.
        - Simple accepts server_name/server_version independently of the local
          instance name, leaving server_info as an unmodified protocol override.
        - query multibroker children in parallel for tool and broker discovery,
          preserving tool order and returning partial results after 15 seconds
          instead of blocking on an unresponsive child.
        - accept a missing trailing slash on HTTP MCP endpoint URLs, working
          around Claude's MCP connector wrongly dropping it from the configured URL,
          thus corrupting it.
        - allow omitted ports in reverse extension URLs, defaulting to port 80.
        - fix MCP client/server version fields serialized as JSON numbers in 0.61.

0.61  Thu 22 Oct 2026 08:57:42 CEST
        - resolve bind hostnames via AnyEvent::Socket instead of Socket::getaddrinfo.
        - honor user-selected file permissions and preserve them across replacements.
        - fix permission test fixture grants.
        - fix activity log timestamp formatting on older perl versions.
        - correct multibroker test tool count (including meta-instructions).
        - fix perl 5.12 syntax errors in mcp-fs and mcp-vim.

0.6  Wed 21 Oct 2026 20:43:20 CEST
        - 34k LOC of pure llm madness. but seems to work. yay.

0.0  Sat 03 Oct 2026 07:29:39 CEST
        - original version, an AnyEvent::HTTP clone.
