Workbench is now an MCP server

Turn it on in Settings and any coding agent can ask your catalog questions instead of guessing what you have built.

  • Three read-only tools: search every project, pull one project's full detail, get library totals
  • Runs as workbench mcp straight from the app binary and reads the catalog directly, so it answers whether or not Workbench is open
  • One-click install into Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and Cursor — it merges into each agent's own config rather than overwriting it, and already-installed agents are detected

Runs that fail now go somewhere

A project that will not start used to end in a toast. Now it hands off.

  • Pick Claude Code or Codex and the built-in terminal opens with a prompt carrying the framework, the failure reason, the missing pieces and the last run output
  • The agent works out how to run it and reports back a run command; Workbench saves it, re-checks whether dependencies landed, then runs and screenshots the project itself
  • If it genuinely cannot run on this machine, you get a plain-language explanation of why and what you would need
  • Chrome extensions, Godot, Tauri and WordPress projects now show How to run with real instructions instead of a doomed Run button

Plugins

  • Sentry issues open a detail dialog with the exception, in-app stack frames, request and tags — plus Copy as prompt, which packages the whole thing for an agent
  • GitHub repositories can be narrowed to specific authors, so you can watch just yourself, or just the people you review for
  • Startup no longer reads the macOS Keychain, which is what made the password prompt reappear on every launch. Credential presence is tracked in the database; the Keychain is only touched when a token is actually used.

Also in this release

  • Framework badges on a project are clickable and filter the library to that stack
  • Real logos for Crush and Hermes Agent
  • Softer checked state on the tech stack filter, so it stops shouting next to the framework logos
