What's Changed

New Features

AI Access for Coding Agents — Let AI tools manage your servers — turn on AI Access and connect your coding agent to Server Compass through a local, token-secured connection
AI Access for Coding Agents — Connect popular coding tools faster — copy ready-made setup instructions for Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code
Choose the full Server Compass tool name or a shorter alias before copying setup instructions
Copy matching uninstall instructions when you want to remove access from a tool
AI Access for Coding Agents — Create scoped access tokens — give each AI tool only the permissions it needs, from read-only visibility to app operations, deployments, or destructive actions
Restrict tokens to specific servers when you want an agent to work on staging without touching production
Revoke tokens any time from the AI Access screen
AI Access for Coding Agents — Ask agents to inspect and manage apps — AI tools can list servers, view live health, read app logs, search templates, check deployments, manage domains, update environment values, and operate Docker apps through Server Compass
AI Access for Coding Agents — Keep credentials inside Server Compass — SSH keys, passwords, and saved secrets stay in the encrypted local vault; AI tools get actions and results, not raw credentials
AI Access for Coding Agents — Confirm destructive requests — dangerous actions like deleting apps, deleting secret collections, or running raw server commands ask for explicit approval before they run
App Templates — Deploy more templates directly — Neon Local, Pastefy, Networking Toolbox, GitIngest, Next.js, Django, FastAPI, and Flask are now available from the template picker
App Templates — Launch framework starter apps — Next.js, Django, FastAPI, and Flask templates can now deploy a small starter app when no source code has been uploaded yet
App Templates — Install fuller PostHog and Mailcow stacks — both templates now prepare their official-style self-hosted setup flows with the values they need before first launch

Improvements

AI Access Setup — See every available AI tool action — the AI Access screen now includes a searchable tool list grouped by permission level
AI Access Setup — Review agent activity — recent AI calls show status, timing, client name, server name, and any error so you can see what your tools have been doing
AI Access Setup — Auto-fill saved token commands — Server Compass tries to recover saved token secrets from the local keychain so setup snippets are ready to copy when possible
AI Access Setup — Prevent placeholder token mistakes — setup copying is disabled when a real token secret is not available, so you do not paste a non-working placeholder into your AI tool
AI Access Setup — Stay connected in the background — when AI Access is enabled, Server Compass keeps running in the menu bar or system tray so connected AI tools do not lose access
Template Reliability — Template setup runs at the right time — complex templates now prepare their required files after setup values are written, reducing failed first launches
Template Reliability — Template preparation fails clearly — when a required setup step cannot complete, deployment stops with a clear error instead of continuing into a broken app
Template Reliability — Rancher uses a steadier default image — new Rancher installs use the stable release line and explain that the first dashboard launch can take a few minutes
Template Reliability — Neon Local accepts branch settings — the template now supports branch and parent-branch values for more realistic local Neon workflows

Bug Fixes

AI Access — Fixed AI Access shutting down when the window closed — Server Compass now stays available in the background while AI Access is enabled
AI Access — Fixed dangerous AI actions running without a final check — destructive requests now require a confirmation prompt before they proceed
App Template Reliability — Fixed Pastefy, Networking Toolbox, and GitIngest being hidden because their old images could not be pulled — these templates now use working images and are selectable again
App Template Reliability — Fixed framework templates needing uploaded source before they could be verified — direct template deploys now include starter files for Next.js, Django, FastAPI, and Flask
App Template Reliability — Fixed PostHog installs starting with an incomplete stack — the template now prepares the current hobby setup flow before launching
App Template Reliability — Fixed Mailcow installs missing the generated mail server setup — the template now prepares the generated stack, mail hostname values, web ports, and supporting secrets
App Template Reliability — Fixed complex templates continuing after setup failed — failed preparation now stops the deployment so you can fix the real issue instead of debugging a half-created app
