v2.7.0 — Export Profiles

v2.7.0

This is an app release.

Summary

v2.7.0 adds Export Profiles for model profile metadata.

Users can now export their MLX Server Manager model profiles to a JSON file for backup or migration preparation.

This release implements export only. Import Profiles remains future work.

Added

• Added Export Profiles... action in the Models sidebar
• Added JSON export for model profile metadata
• Added export privacy summary
• Added export success / cancel / failure messages
• Added export logging
• Added ModelProfileExportService
• Updated README and docs for Export Profiles status

Exported JSON

The exported JSON includes:

• schemaVersion
• app
• exportedAt
• profiles
• profile name
• profile modelID
• profile host
• profile port
• non-empty Advanced Launch Options

Not Exported

Exported profiles do not include:

• API keys
• tokens
• secrets
• executable paths
• local model paths
• model weights
• model caches
• logs
• PID
• memory metrics
• readiness results
• runtime process state
• selected current target state
• adopted external server state

Safety Boundary

Export Profiles is side-effect-free.

It does not:

• start servers
• stop servers
• restart servers
• adopt external servers
• forget external servers
• call /v1/models
• make external HTTP requests
• change process ownership
• proxy inference requests

Direct Mode Boundary

Direct Mode remains unchanged:

OpenAI-compatible client -> mlx_lm.server or adopted external server -> MLX model

MLX Server Manager does not proxy inference requests, act as a chat UI, download models, delete models, or become a multi-backend wrapper.

Import Status

Import Profiles is not implemented in this release.

Future import work should include:

• import preview
• schema validation
• profile validation
• conflict handling
• skip / rename / replace options
• no automatic server start
