v1.2.0-alpha01

[Nikita Lipsky (pjBooms)]

Release summary

This release introduces a brand-new Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI agents to interact with a running Compose application in real time.

The MCP server exposes the following tools:

Tool	Description
status	Get the current status of the running application
take_screenshot	Capture a screenshot of the application UI
get_semantic_tree	Inspect the UI component tree with semantic information
click	Click a UI element
long_click	Long-press a UI element
type_text	Replace the content of a text field
scroll	Scroll within a scrollable component by pixels
scroll_to_index	Scroll within a scrollable component by items

The server connects to the hot reload orchestration layer and can be launched via the hotMcpServer Gradle task. It starts without a running application, polls for one, detects shutdown, and reconnects automatically.

See the README for setup instructions.

The MCP server is in experimental state, we will continue to work on it and your feedback would be very helpful!

JBR 25 as Default Runtime
