<Update label="v5.0.1" description="May 2026">
  ## MCP App width fix in chat
  Patch release paired with `mcp-use` v1.27.1: MCP App width is pinned in chat so only height responds to widget-reported sizes.

- **Fix**: Pin MCP App width in chat — `onSizeChange` only updates height, and the inline transition no longer animates `width`; prevents the chat panel from collapsing when widgets report narrower content (`#1462`)
- **Update**: Updated mcp-use to v1.27.1
</Update>

  </Frame>
  ## OpenRouter, pre-registered OAuth & telemetry env
  Major release paired with `mcp-use` v1.27.0: OpenRouter and OpenAI-compatible providers in chat configuration, pre-registered OAuth client credentials in the connection dialog, and `MCP_USE_ANONYMIZED_TELEMETRY` honored in browser telemetry.

- **New**: OpenRouter as a first-class chat provider — a single OpenRouter API key fronts upstream OpenAI / Anthropic / Google models; internally reuses the OpenAI provider with an override base URL and the required `HTTP-Referer` / `X-Title` headers (`#1403`)
- **New**: "OpenAI Compatible" entry in the chat provider dropdown — point inspector chat at any OpenAI-compatible API (LM Studio, Ollama, OpenRouter, etc.) with a required Base URL field and an optional API key; the standard OpenAI provider is unchanged (`#1437`)
- **New**: `Client ID`, `Client Secret`, and `Scope` fields in the Authentication dialog wired through `addServer` / `updateServer` for pre-registered OAuth flows against providers that strip `registration_endpoint` from metadata (`#1400`)
- **Fix**: Browser telemetry honors `MCP_USE_ANONYMIZED_TELEMETRY=false` — the inspector server mirrors the env var into `window.__MCP_USE_ANONYMIZED_TELEMETRY__` before the client bundle loads, so a single env var disables both `mcp-use`'s in-browser `posthog-js` and the inspector's own client telemetry (`#1443`)
- **Update**: Updated mcp-use to v1.27.0
</Update>

<Update label="v3.0.2" description="April 2026">
  ## E2E alignment for Settings dropdown
  Patch release updating Playwright coverage for the command palette Settings entry after the navbar refactor; paired with `mcp-use` v1.25.2.

- **Fix**: Command palette e2e test targets the Settings option via the dropdown trigger introduced in the inspector settings UX (`#1428`)
- **Update**: Updated mcp-use to v1.25.2
</Update>

<Update label="v3.0.1" description="April 2026">
  ## OAuth single-tab flow, embed fixes & Hono detection
  Patch release fixing OAuth redirect flows, embedded `ChatTab` UI leaks, and Hono duck-type detection in `mountInspector`; paired with `mcp-use` v1.25.1.

- **Fix**: OAuth authorization now opens in the current tab (`useRedirectFlow: true`, `preventAutoAuth: true`) and the callback navigates the same tab back — users no longer end up with two inspector tabs (`#1391`)
- **Fix**: Store connection config in `sessionStorage` before OAuth redirect so auto-reconnect works after the callback without a `?autoConnect` param (`#1404`)
- **Fix**: OAuth callback redirects back to the inspector with error parameters on failure (user denies, server error) instead of showing a raw error page; surfaced as a persistent app-level toast (`#1381`)
- **Fix**: `mountInspector(app)` detects Hono via duck-typing (`.fetch(Request) => Response`) instead of `instanceof`, resolving crashes when the host and inspector resolve different Hono module records (`#1417`)
- **Fix**: MCP App widget z-index — removed explicit `z-20`/`z-10` from sandboxed iframe wrappers so widgets scroll beneath the chat header instead of painting over it (`#1407`)
- **Fix**: Free-tier upgrade UI (`Model & usage` dialog, model badge) is now opt-in via `enableFreeTierUpgrade` on `ChatTab` (default `false`) and is hidden for host-app embeds that manage their own session (`#1399`)
- **Fix**: Suppress duplicate model chrome (landing pill, `ChatHeader` badge) when host passes `managedLlmConfig` + `hideModelBadge`; chat no longer auto-switches to client-side streaming when `localLlmConfig` exists in localStorage and the host owns the chat stream (`#1418`)
- **Documentation**: `--no-open` CLI flag added to the inspector CLI reference (`#1397`)
- **Update**: Updated mcp-use to v1.25.1
</Update>

  </Frame>
  ## Inline elicitation & social meta tags
  Major release paired with `mcp-use` v1.25.0: chat-initiated elicitation requests render inline in the chat thread, hosted inspector links get rich previews, and the peer dependency on `mcp-use` tracks the 1.25 OAuth refactor.

- **New**: Elicitation requests triggered from the Chat tab render inline in the chat thread instead of routing users through a toast to the Elicitation tab; Tools-tab triggers keep the existing toast flow, and the Elicitation tab remains available as an audit view (`#1336`)
- **New**: Links to the hosted inspector now render rich previews on Slack, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Discord, and other platforms (`#1376`)
- **Update**: Peer dependency on `mcp-use` moves to `>=1.25.0-canary.9` to pick up the OAuth DCR-direct refactor
- **Update**: Updated mcp-use to v1.25.0
</Update>

  </Frame>
  ## Hosted chat runtime, LLM providers & chat export
  Minor release paired with `mcp-use` v1.24.2: first-party inspector LLM streaming (no LangChain on the chat path), copy/export chat, runtime hosted-chat URL, hosted free-tier chat, and cloud env tooling via the CLI (`#1372`).

- **New**: First-party LLM providers for inspector chat (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) with shared message formatting, SSE streaming, and tool loops — the inspector no longer depends on LangChain for chat (`#1372`)
- **New**: "Copy Chat" and "Export Chat" in the chat header — markdown to clipboard; download as JSON or Markdown with tool calls in order (`#1324`)
- **New**: Free tier chat on the hosted inspector (`#1368`)
- **New**: Hosted chat URL from runtime config — inspector server reads `MANUFACT_CHAT_URL` and injects `window.__MANUFACT_CHAT_URL__`; `InspectorProvider` prefers that value and falls back to `VITE_MANUFACT_CHAT_URL` for local dev (`#1370`)
- **Fix**: OAuth login popup — drop `noopener` and redirect `callbackURL` to `/inspector/oauth-popup-closed.html` so the popup self-closes instead of loading the full inspector (`#1370`)
- **Update**: Updated mcp-use to v1.24.2
</Update>

<Update label="v2.1.0" description="April 2026">
  ## Navbar, theme & debug controls
  Minor release with MCP Apps debug theme toggle and navbar/settings UX improvements; dependency bump to `mcp-use` v1.24.1.

- **New**: Theme toggle button in MCP Apps debug controls toolbar
- **Enhancement**: Navbar — chat tab first with label and separator; `alwaysExpanded` on tab triggers so the active label stays visible when collapsed; Deploy links to manufact.com/signup with inspector referrer; tunnel control between Add to Client and Deploy with updated styling and mobile visibility; theme toggle, command palette, and GitHub under a settings dropdown; "Report a Bug" prefills a GitHub issue with the inspector label
- **Update**: Updated mcp-use to v1.24.1
</Update>

  </Frame>
  ## Subpath OAuth, chat UX & tab persistence
  Major release paired with `mcp-use` v1.24.0: correct OAuth redirects when the inspector is served under `/inspector`, clearer chat streaming UI, and restored tab state after reload.

- **Fix**: `McpClientProvider` receives `defaultCallbackUrl` so OAuth redirects target `/inspector/oauth/callback` (matches React Router `basename`); removes the authentication dialog "Redirect URL" field that was not wired to the live connection
- **Fix**: Hide the thinking indicator when the assistant message already has rendered parts so the spinner does not linger after streaming completes
- **Enhancement**: Persist the active inspector tab across page refresh
- **Update**: Updated mcp-use to v1.24.0
</Update>

<Update label="v1.0.1" description="April 2026">
  ## Embedded inspector without LangChain
  Patch release fixing server routes that imported `telFetch` from the root `mcp-use` package.

- **Fix**: Import `telFetch` from `mcp-use/telemetry/tel-fetch` so shared routes do not load the root entry (which eagerly pulls the agent graph); resolves embedded inspector failures when `langchain` is not installed
- **Update**: Updated mcp-use to v1.23.1
</Update>

  </Frame>
  ## Stream protocol, aliases & chat tooling
  Major release with MCP stream support in chat, connection UX improvements, and dependency hardening.

- **New**: MCP data stream protocol support in `ChatTab` and `useChatMessages`
- **Enhancement**: `disabledTools` prop on `ChatTab` and `useChatMessages` for finer tool control
- **New**: Editable MCP server aliases in connection settings; `updateServerMetadata()` from `McpClientProvider` updates display names without a full reconnect; shared `getServerDisplayName` across dashboard tiles, server dropdown, header actions, command palette, server info modal, and server icon
- **Fix**: Alias-only edits no longer trigger a full reconnect; IME composition no longer submits the connection form when pressing Enter mid-composition
- **Enhancement**: Persist tabs on refresh; sync URL `tab` query param when switching tabs so state survives reload
- **Enhancement**: Tool-invocation serialization, screenshots, and message list refs for integrations such as manufact.build
- **Update**: Removed unused `transportType` / `setTransportType` props from `ConnectionSettingsForm`
- **Fix**: Tighter `pnpm` overrides and lockfile refresh for `pnpm audit`; `lodash` override in the mcp-apps scaffold template for standalone installs
- **Update**: Vite 8.0.5, Hono 4.12.12, `@hono/node-server` 1.19.13
- **Update**: Updated mcp-use to v1.23.0
</Update>

<Update label="v0.26.1" description="March 2026">
  ## Dependency & bundling alignment
  Patch release aligning how `@mcp-use/inspector` packages `mcp-use` for bundling and shared types.

- **Fix**: Restore `mcp-use` as both a `dependency` and `peerDependency` — tsup bundles non-React subpaths with transitive deps; `peerDependency` preserves shared `mcp-use`/`react` types with the host app
- **Update**: Updated mcp-use to v1.22.3
</Update>

<Update label="v0.26.0" description="March 2026">
  ## Peer Dependency Alignment & MCP UI v7
  Minor release aligning inspector dependency strategy for shared type safety and upgrading MCP UI client rendering internals.

- **Fix**: Moved `mcp-use` from `dependencies` to `peerDependencies` in `@mcp-use/inspector` so consumers reuse a single `mcp-use` type instance (prevents pnpm duplicate-type TS2322 conflicts)
- **Enhancement**: Upgraded `@mcp-ui/client` from v6 to v7
- **Enhancement**: Replaced removed legacy `UIResourceRenderer` path with sandboxed iframe rendering for legacy `ui://` resources
- **Enhancement**: Removed remote-dom usage to align with upstream `@mcp-ui/client` v7 changes
- **Update**: Updated mcp-use to v1.22.2
</Update>

<Update label="v0.25.1" description="March 2026">
  ## Chat History Tool Results & ErrorBoundary Customization
  Patch release improving chat history reconstruction so tool calls/results (including `structuredContent`) persist across turns, plus ErrorBoundary fallback/reporting hooks.

- **Fix**: Preserve tool invocation context across chat turns — reconstruct assistant messages as `AIMessage` tool calls plus `ToolMessage` results; keep `structuredContent` and strip `_meta` before sending to the model
- **Enhancement**: Chat message conversion supports tool results and multimodal content more reliably
- **Enhancement**: `ErrorBoundary` now supports `fallback` (node or `(error) => node`) and `onError` for reporting (default UI unchanged)
- **Update**: Updated mcp-use to v1.22.1
</Update>

<Update label="v0.25.0" description="March 2026">
  ## Tunnel Controls & Vite 8
  Minor release with tunnel management for `mcp-use dev`, Vite 8 build stack, and elicit payload alignment with the MCP spec.

- **New**: Start/stop the `mcp-use dev` tunnel from the Inspector
- **Enhancement**: Vite 8.0 with Rolldown bundler and `@vitejs/plugin-react` 6 in the inspector build
- **Fix**: Elicit — send `content` instead of `data` per the MCP spec; aligns with `createElicitMethod` validation on the client
- **Update**: Updated mcp-use to v1.22.0
</Update>

<Update label="v0.24.5" description="March 2026">

- **Update**: Updated mcp-use to v1.21.3
</Update>

<Update label="v0.24.2" description="March 2026">
  ## Embedded Inspector Proxy Fix
  Patch release fixing auto-connect when inspector is served from MCP server (Python, custom servers).

- **Fix**: Skip proxy when inspector origin matches MCP server origin — no longer routes through missing `/inspector/api/proxy` on embedded servers
- **Fix**: Detect proxy availability via runtime config injection (`__MCP_PROXY_URL__`); disable autoProxyFallback when no proxy is available
- **Update**: Updated mcp-use to v1.21.2
