Finishing onboarding no longer depends on your AI app connecting. Improved • After MCP Beast writes and verifies the Codex or Claude configuration, or opens the Cursor install link, you can finish setup right away; the window still updates once the app connects Fixed • Onboarding no longer gets stuck on “Waiting for your app…” when an app such as Codex opens but never connects • Installing in another app no longer ends on a screen where Skip is the only choice

Agents can work with larger MCP tool results, and you can set per-server limits on response and image sizes. New • call_tool now handles large results: configurable maxBytes, raw result mode, text paging with offset, includeText slices, and real image content for screenshots and other images (256 KB default limit per MCP) • A new Result Limits section in each MCP's settings lets you choose the largest response and image agents can receive • call_tool accepts a timeoutSeconds argument (default 30 s, up to 900 s) so long-running calls finish in a single call; calls that exceed the limit now return a clear script_timeout error Fixed • MCP Beast no longer crashes when a tool result contains a number too large for a 64-bit integer • MCP health checks no longer leave servers stuck on "Starting"

Connect Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, and ChatGPT to MCP Beast in one click — then verify the connection and clean up duplicate client configs. New • One-click client setup for your favorite AI agents, with connection checks and duplicate cleanup • Clearer Remote Access onboarding so you can reach local MCP servers from ChatGPT Pro with confidence • App and App Store listing now available in German, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Improved • Search, review, and enable only the tools your agents should see • Faster startup and MCP health checks so server status settles sooner after launch

Improved: - Onboarding now includes client-specific setup guidance for Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, and manual MCP clients, including copyable configuration snippets where supported. Fixed: - Reporting an issue now reliably saves your diagnostics report: when your mail client can't be opened with the report attached, a save dialog appears, the report is written to the location you pick, and it's revealed in Finder. (Thanks, Greg!) - Local MCP servers that fail to start now explain why instead of showing a generic exit code, including clear guidance when a tool such as `xcrun` can't run inside MCP Beast's sandbox. - Local MCP servers launched through tools like `npx`, `node`, `python`, or `docker` now start more reliably, because MCP Beast adds the common install locations (such as Homebrew) to the launch environment that apps don't otherwise inherit.

New: - Remote endpoint headers now use a structured key/value editor with autocomplete, secure storage toggles, and editable Keychain-backed values. - MCP Beast can now keep running from the status bar after the main window is closed. - Manage which tools each MCP exposes: a new Available Tools view, and a dedicated Manage Tools window with search and grouping lets you enable or disable individual tools, and disabled tools are hidden from your agents. - Refreshed the MCP Beast app icon. - Fixed Vercel MCP support so remote MCPs that require a loopback sign-in redirect now connect successfully. (Thanks, D. Geere!) - Improved error messaging for MCPs that require explicit approval, such as Figma, so you now see a clear explanation instead of a generic failure. (Thanks, D. Geere!) Improved: - Redesigned the status bar menu with a custom status header, native macOS menu items, and per-MCP submenus for quick controls. - MCP servers now show their real icons in the sidebar, making them easier to tell apart. - Faster, smoother experience, with startup and interaction hangs removed from the server detail and tool views. - More reliable tool discovery and routing, with clearer failure messages and automatic back-off when a downstream MCP is rate-limited or temporarily failing.

Improved: - Remote MCP OAuth now supports providers that require registered client authentication, improving compatibility with services like Figma and Vercel. (Thanks, D. Geere!) - Multi-account MCP setups are easier to configure with explicit gateway namespaces such as `vercel_work` and `vercel_personal`. - Sensitive manual headers and local environment variables are now protected with Keychain-backed references, while gateway and Remote Access tokens are masked by default. - Diagnostics reports can now be sent from the app when reporting an issue, with broader secret redaction for safer support requests. - The menu bar now includes quick actions for opening MCP Beast, opening Settings, copying the gateway URL, reporting an issue, and quitting. - Runtime handling is more reliable when MCPs are edited, disabled, stopped, removed, or restarted, and Remote Access can reconnect after launch. - Onboarding and Settings copy buttons now reset from `Copied` back to `Copy`, with improved accessibility and Reduce Motion behavior. Fixed: - OAuth setup failures now include clearer diagnostics and no longer fall through to a misleading unauthenticated refresh error. - Localhost clients keep working without extra headers when LAN mode is enabled, while same-network clients still require the generated bearer token. - Newly added MCPs are synchronized before auto-starting, avoiding first-run `Server not found` errors. - Save failures in add, detail, and settings flows are now surfaced instead of failing silently.
