What’s new
Every notable release to AgentTask’s web, desktop and API/MCP surfaces, newest first. Each date is the day the version’s release commit landed.
- Names and titles that contain “&” are stored as typed instead of being HTML-escaped by agents.
- The avatar file route is confirmed to require authentication, and that is now pinned by a test.
v0.5.3 — Fix
Fix- The /pr command now sees a pull request that the run opened itself.
v0.5.2 — Build hardening
Maintenance- Every build is now type-checked with Next 16 over a tests-free program. No user-facing changes.
The hosted MCP server at /v1/public/mcp now describes its results and errors in machine-readable form and only shows each client the tools it can actually call. AgentWork’s run view and sidebar were reworked to be quieter.
- MCP tools return outputSchema and structuredContent, and errors are structured with typed codes.
- Tool arguments are validated against each tool’s inputSchema before the call runs.
- tools/list is filtered to the tools the caller may call, and its descriptions are slimmed down.
- The plugin’s workflows are served as MCP prompts, and long tool calls send progress notifications.
- launch_task, search and export_run_artifacts have per-tool rate limits; each create_task batch item accepts an idempotencyKey.
- AgentWork: a cleaner run view with quiet tool steps folded into one line, a live per-turn token count, and a rebuilt sidebar.
- AgentWork: chats can start without a folder (each gets a scratch folder), and the macOS app uses a native folder picker.
- Settings opens as a dialog over the current page.
The redesigned interface shipped to everyone and the classic UI was removed, along with the earlier build-time beta and alpha gates that hid some screens.
- Settings screens that were hidden behind a build-time beta gate, including Audio, are now reachable.
- Unused legacy code paths, screens and dependencies were deleted.
A refreshed desktop dock and a fix to the marketplace publish review. Realtime voice remains a preview and is not generally available.
- The dock unfolds from a bare orb, with hover-expand, fact chips and inline approval.
- Marketplace: a gap that let the publish review be bypassed through the MCP tool was closed, and the operator bundle catalog became reviewable data.
- Sign in with Apple, including Hide My Email, can now create an account.
- The /legal/data-deletion page is publicly reachable.
- Admins get a row action to toggle the login-verification exemption for a user.
Crews other developers built are now public at /marketplace — reviewed by us, free to use, and readable in full before you install. Every listing has one sentence to copy: paste it into Claude Code and the crew files land in your project. No account, no plugin, no sign-in; connect AgentTask later and the same crews stay in sync.
- Browse by tag or search; every card shows the personas, the creator and how many workspaces installed it.
- One copyable sentence per listing, a Cowork variant, and a “do it by hand” file list.
- /bundles now redirects here; paid AgentTask bundles stay in the app’s Crews page (the Marketplace tab).
Ready-made packs of expert AI crews are now easy to find. The Crews page has a Store tab next to your own crews, the New crew menu can jump straight to it, and each bundle opens a details panel that shows exactly which personas are in the box before you buy. The catalog is also published here on the site.
- Crews → Store: browse and buy bundles, deep-linkable with ?tab=store.
- Bundle details show every persona’s role, trigger and mode — never its instructions.
- The public catalog moved to /marketplace on 2026-09-19; /bundles redirects there.
v0.4.1 — Maintenance
Maintenance- Dependency and tooling updates, and a re-pin of the desktop MCP engines. No user-facing feature changes.
The desktop AgentWork engine got a large round of capability and safety work: a richer conversation view, per-tool permissions, an integrated terminal and browser, and tighter control for organizations.
- A transcript thread with live composer, steerable queue and per-message actions.
- Per-tool permissions with rule promotion and a review inbox, plus an effective-permission view that shows which layer decided.
- MCP dynamic registration, hosted MCP Apps UI and per-workspace authorized folders.
- An integrated terminal dock, an embedded browser panel, retained session tabs and a side-by-side split.
- Organization policy: an org-managed web origin allow-list, org-authored blocked-command patterns, and retention ceilings.
- Crash recovery, a hardened updater and signed connect links that bind an install to an organization.
Crews are assignable AI teammates: define a persona once — instructions, deliverables, when it gets involved — link its skills as notes, and assign it to tickets like a person. Claude Code picks the persona up over MCP, does the work in advise or execute mode, and reports back on the ticket with clear AI attribution. /crews sync even materializes your crews as native Claude Code subagents with enforced tool permissions.
- Crews live in your space sidebar with codes like AI-CR1.
- Advise-mode crews start from read-only tools (Read, Grep, Glob); any extra tool is an explicit grant.
- The human assignee stays responsible; the crew works alongside.
A brand-new marketing site
RedesignThe site you are reading went all-light: warm paper background, iris and teal accents, a live agent-run window in the hero, and new pages — Solutions, Migrate, Customers — plus a crew of cartoon robot mascots who now handle our 404s.
- Homepage rebuilt to a tighter 9-section structure.
- Pricing published with the new packaging.
- Official product logo everywhere.
Notes, levelled up
FeatureNotes became a first-class knowledge layer: opt-in version history with restore and diff, threaded comments with reactions, attachments, an activity log, and universal links that connect notes, tasks, and projects in both directions.
- Built and hardened across two rounds of work.
- Versioning snapshots are atomic; restores are one click.
- Agents read and write notes over MCP with the same access rules as people.
Projects grew up
FeatureProjects gained threaded comments with reactions, an activity feed and audit log, inline title editing, and a timeline view that lays your initiatives out on a real calendar.
- Comment on a project like a ticket.
- Timeline math handles overlapping initiatives.
- Everything is audited, like all agent-adjacent surfaces.
Suspended View
Feature- New physics-based task visualization: tasks float as nodes in organic group membranes, with status colors, drift, zoom, and a magnifier.
- Drag a group to move it; gravity re-settles the cluster.
Public API + MCP
Platform- Browsable API reference and OpenAPI document.
- Remote MCP endpoint for agents and clients.
Multi-tenant core
Platform- Organizations, spaces, members, projects, and groups.
- Agent claims, heartbeats, and audit trail.
