LiveContext CE v0.1.7
What is new
- New: an official MCP server. LiveContext now exposes a standard Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint at /mcp, so external MCP clients (Codex, Claude, and others) can connect to your install with your existing lc_live_ API key. A Settings entry shows the connection details with a ready-to-paste Codex client config.
- New: workflow variables. Reference reusable values with {{$vars.name}} in nodes, conditions, and interface variable mappings, resolved at run time. A single unified
credentialagent tool now replaces the older per-type credential helpers. - New: a blocking wait tool. Agents can pause for a fixed delay, and workflows gain a wait_run action to wait for another run to finish before continuing.
- New: Google Veo and Vidu video-generation APIs added to the catalog.
- Improvement: browser-agent overhaul. The agent can keep the browser open after a short task (detached hold), the live view is sharper and no longer squished, behavior is consistent between chat and workflows, and concurrent sessions are queued fairly (FIFO).
- Improvement: LLM catalog distribution v2. Model-catalog bundles persist their payloads and auto-republish after a restart, ship with a seed bundle, and expose a per-install ship control, so self-hosted installs receive fresh model definitions reliably.
- Improvement: the admin Models panel now lists the full catalog (whether a provider key is configured or not) and can filter to vision-capable models for the Browser Agent.
- Fix: the marketplace showcase now paints edge counts across all epochs (they previously read zero once finished epochs were pruned).
- Fix: model menus (picker lists, the info card, and hover tooltips) now paint above their host popovers instead of being clipped.
- Fix: routed execution-link models (Codex, Gemini) keep access to MCP tools instead of having every tool call cancelled.
- Fix: bridge and queued agent runs now honor the full inactivity and execution timeout contract, and their live conversation transcript streams correctly.
- Fix: on self-hosted installs, unlimited-credit mode no longer fails closed on an unknown model, the app boots cleanly with the browser-agent profile enabled, and admin-gated catalog imports present the right admin token.
- Fix: task hardening: viewers can no longer write, recurring tasks fire exactly once under contention, and stop-agent reports its real outcome.
