Documentation site at docs.manufact.com

Comprehensive documentation site now available at docs.manufact.com covering Dashboard features, CLI commands, and MCP protocol reference.

Manufact available as Claude connector

Manufact is now available as a connector on Claude. Install the connector to manage your MCP servers, deployments, logs, and analytics directly from Claude conversations. The same app runs on both ChatGPT and Claude from a single codebase using mcp-use.

Manufact available in ChatGPT App Store

Manufact is now live in the ChatGPT App Store. Install the app to manage your MCP servers, deployments, logs, and analytics directly from ChatGPT conversations. Ask about build failures, runtime errors, deployment status, and analytics insights. The app can trigger new deployments, monitor server health, and render analytics dashboards inline in ChatGPT.

Improved server configuration editor reliability

Settings JSON editor now uses authoritative full-object saves, ensuring that what you see in the editor exactly matches what gets stored. Previously, saving partial configuration could unexpectedly preserve old values. The editor now replaces the entire configuration on save, preventing data inconsistencies.

Branch allow list for webhook auto-deploys

Specify which branches trigger automatic deployments from GitHub webhooks using glob patterns. Configure branch patterns like 'release/*' or 'feat/*' in server settings to control which branches auto-deploy. The production branch always deploys regardless of patterns. Empty patterns allow all branches.

Improved sign-out experience

Signing out now takes you to the homepage instead of redirecting back to the login page.

Next.js Drop-in template

New template showing how to run an MCP server inside your existing Next.js repository. Share components, services, and utilities between your Next.js app and MCP server without monorepo packages or workspace drift. Deploy the web app to Vercel and the MCP server to Manufact Cloud from one source tree.

Customer stories page

New customer stories page showcasing how companies use Manufact to build and deploy MCP servers.

Fixed CLI device login authentication

Fixed authentication issue that prevented CLI device login from working. The CLI device authorization flow now correctly authenticates users and allows API key creation, restoring the ability to authenticate CLI sessions and use the CLI to manage servers and deployments.

Environment variable size validation

Environment variable editor now validates the total byte size of all environment variables and enforces a 64 KB maximum limit. The total byte size is displayed in real-time, and users are prevented from saving when the limit is exceeded, helping avoid deployment failures from oversized environment configurations.

GitHub repository pagination for large installations

Repository picker now supports pagination when browsing GitHub repositories with many repos. Users with large GitHub organizations or installations can now scroll through all available repositories with automatic loading as you scroll, replacing the previous limit that only showed the first page of results.

Stripe promo codes in checkout

Hosted Stripe checkout sessions now display a promo code entry field, allowing users to apply discount codes during subscription purchase. The feature enables promotional campaigns and special pricing without requiring custom checkout flows.

Fixed user avatars not displaying

Fixed issue where user profile pictures were not appearing in the header, sidebar, and settings pages. Avatars now correctly display your profile picture from your GitHub or Google account across the entire application, with proper fallback to initials when no image is available.

Smarter organization naming during onboarding

Organization names are now automatically derived from your company website domain or email address during onboarding. When you enter a company website, the organization is named from that domain. When you skip the website field, organizations with company email addresses are named from the email domain (e.g., [email protected] creates 'Company'). Personal email addresses create a personalized workspace name like 'John Doe's Projects'.

Last used login provider indicator

Login buttons now show a "Last used" badge on the provider you most recently signed in with. The badge appears on Google and GitHub login buttons in both the main login form and deployment authentication dialogs, making it easier to remember and quickly select your preferred login method.

Fixed GitHub account picker showing unavailable repositories

Fixed issue where GitHub accounts appeared in the account picker but always showed "No repositories found" when selected. The account list is now filtered to show only installations that match the backend's GitHub App configuration, ensuring every account in the picker has accessible repositories.

Fixed failed build duration display

Fixed build duration display for failed deployments that showed continuously increasing times long after the build had failed. Failed builds now correctly display their final build duration instead of accruing time indefinitely.

Fixed eval suite page crash

Fixed crash that occurred when viewing eval suite details with running or completed eval runs. The page now properly handles paginated run data during auto-refresh, preventing TypeError crashes that previously took down the entire page.

Improved form field focus indicators

Form select dropdowns now use consistent focus indicators that align with text inputs. Focus rings appear only on keyboard navigation (not mouse clicks) and no longer visually collide with field labels above them.

Organization selector in template deployment

Template deployment dialog now lets you choose which Manufact organization to deploy to before creating the server. Previously, templates deployed to your default organization with no way to select a different one. The new organization picker includes organization avatars and automatically refreshes GitHub account options based on the selected organization.

Improved observability filters on smaller screens

Recent Events toolbar reorganized for better visibility on mobile and tablet devices. Filter controls now span two rows instead of being squeezed into one line, ensuring status filters, time range picker, MCP toggle, and refresh controls remain accessible on all screen sizes.

Improved analytics usage breakdown accuracy

Server analytics charts now filter out internal discovery calls (tools/list, resources/list, prompts/list) from usage breakdowns. Charts display only actual tool calls, resource reads, and prompt usage, making it easier to understand real server activity instead of seeing discovery chatter dominate the statistics.

Deploy badge build and start command support

Deploy-to-mcp-use badges now respect build-command and start-command URL parameters. When deploying via badge links, you can specify custom build and start commands that override the repository's defaults, making it easier to deploy projects with non-standard build configurations.

Fixed unauthenticated template deployment crash

Fixed crash that occurred when clicking template deployment links while not logged in.

Framework deployment guide: deploying seven MCP frameworks

New comprehensive guide comparing deployment of seven different MCP frameworks (mcp-typescript, mcp-python, mcp-use, tmcp, xmcp, skybridge, fastmcp) to Manufact Cloud. Field report includes framework-specific deployment notes, common pitfalls, and live example servers you can test.

Enhanced touch support for scrollable areas

Scrollable areas across the application now support native touch interactions on mobile and tablet devices.

Transfer Vibe projects between organizations

Vibe projects can now be moved between organizations before publication. When updating a project, specify a new organizationId to transfer ownership.

Subdomain validation for custom domains

Custom domain configuration now validates that you're using a subdomain (like mcp.example.com) rather than an apex domain (example.com).

Confirmation prompt for server deletion

Deleting a server now requires typing the exact server name before the action can be completed.

Fixed long branch names in deployment modals

Fixed visual overflow issues when selecting GitHub branches with long names for deployment. Branch and repository names now scroll smoothly on hover with animated fade effects, keeping deployment dialogs readable and properly sized regardless of branch name length.

10,000 stars history page

New page at /blog/10000-github-stars telling the story of mcp-use from the first commit to 10,000 GitHub stars. Presented as an interactive GitHub pull request timeline with milestones, screenshots, and external reactions from YC, Hacker News, LangChain, and the community.

Fixed GitHub auto-deploy permission errors

Fixed permission errors that prevented webhook-triggered auto-deploys from working in organization workspaces. Push-to-deploy now works correctly for repositories linked to organization servers, respecting organization permissions without blocking automated deployment flows.

Fixed pnpm deployment build policy conflicts

Fixed deployment failures for projects using pnpm with explicit build policies. Deployments now respect onlyBuiltDependencies and neverBuiltDependencies in package.json instead of forcing conflicting build flags, allowing these projects to build successfully.

GitHub branch selector for deployments

Deployment from GitHub now shows available branches when selecting which branch to deploy. The branch picker loads branches dynamically from your linked repository, making it easier to deploy from feature branches or manage multiple deployment environments.

Fixed admin monitoring dashboard performance

Fixed performance issues that caused admin monitoring charts to time out and return 500 errors. Dashboard queries now use pre-aggregated rollup tables instead of scanning millions of events, reducing load times from over 30 seconds to under 50 milliseconds.

Fixed shared chat link authentication

Fixed authentication issue that caused public chat share links to return 401 errors. Shared chat links now work correctly, authenticating via the share token instead of requiring a session.

Fixed GitHub webhook authentication

Fixed authentication issue that caused all GitHub webhook deliveries to fail with 401 errors. Push-to-deploy, installation lifecycle events, and PR/check_run auto-deploy now work correctly.

Fixed Vibe chat authentication

Fixed authentication issue that prevented Vibe chat sessions from working. Users can now receive assistant responses in Vibe chats without encountering authentication errors.

Fixed Safari crashes on blog pages

Fixed Safari TypeErrors that crashed blog pages when loading structured data. JSON-LD metadata now uses the standard @graph format with a root context, ensuring compatibility across all browsers including WebKit-based ones.

Comparison page for mcp-use and alternatives

New comparison page at /compare (and /alternatives) explaining how mcp-use and Manufact Cloud compare to alternative frameworks and platforms. The page helps developers and AI agents understand when to choose mcp-use vs the official SDK, FastMCP, or orchestration frameworks, and when to use Manufact Cloud vs general PaaS providers.

Improved organization page layouts

Organization pages now have improved scrolling behavior. Headers scroll naturally with content instead of staying pinned, providing a cleaner layout experience when viewing and managing organizations.

AI-powered audit autofix

Automatically fix failing audit checks with AI. The audit tab now includes an autofix button that clones your repository, uses Claude to address failing checks, and opens a pull request with the fixes. Watch live as the agent works through tool calls, validation, and file changes.

Authentication button in server status

Added authentication button to server status section and environment selector, providing clear visual feedback for authentication states and one-click access to authenticate with OAuth-enabled MCP servers.

Dashboard and analytics performance improvements

Improved dashboard and server analytics loading performance. Queries now use pre-aggregated daily rollup tables instead of scanning millions of raw events, reducing load times from 380ms to under 30ms for typical 7-day sparklines and analytics views.

Fixed Vibe concurrent sandbox errors

Fixed errors that occurred when multiple Vibe requests tried to bootstrap the same project simultaneously. Concurrent requests now share a single bootstrap operation instead of each attempting to create sandboxes and causing conflicts.

Fixed eval suite optional parameter validation

Fixed eval suite validation to correctly handle optional tool arguments and schema-required parameters with 'Any value' matching. Optional arguments can now be omitted without failing assertions, and required parameters marked as 'Any value' validate presence without comparing the actual value.

Stop button for Vibe chat

Added ability to stop running Vibe mid-execution.

OAuth authentication guide published

Published comprehensive guide on setting up OAuth in MCP servers. https://manufact.com/blog/oauth-mcp

New guide: Submit MCP apps to ChatGPT

Tutorial covering OpenAI's ChatGPT app directory submission process. The guide walks through all six submission steps with screenshots, prerequisites, test case requirements, and common rejection patterns to help you get your MCP server listed in ChatGPT's app directory.

Custom build commands now work with root Dockerfiles

Fixed deployment configuration so custom build and start commands properly override root Dockerfiles. Previously, repositories with existing Dockerfiles couldn't use mcp-use's runtime detection and custom commands together, blocking users who wanted the platform to handle builds differently than their repo's default Dockerfile.

Redesigned team management with enhanced role controls

Team page now features a streamlined table layout with member avatars, role badges, and at-a-glance status indicators. Admins and owners can see last activity timestamps for all members. Role management is more intuitive with dropdown menus and improved pending invitation visibility.

GitHub branch picker now searchable and scrollable

Branch selection for GitHub deployments now includes a search input and scrollable list for repositories with many branches. The picker automatically shows search when more than 10 branches are available, making large repositories much easier to navigate.

Organization admins can now invite team members

Organization administrators can now invite new members to the team, not just owners. This makes team management more flexible by allowing trusted admins to onboard new members without requiring owner involvement.

Streamlined new chat experience

Creating a new chat now automatically sends your message when the chat loads, eliminating the need to manually hit send again after navigation. Makes starting conversations faster and more intuitive.

Improved GitHub repository deployment

Template deployments now create empty GitHub repositories instead of auto-initializing with a README. This ensures the first push from CLI tools establishes the main branch cleanly without merge conflicts from unrelated commit histories.

Enhanced browser compatibility for visual effects

Fixed crashes on browsers without full WebGL support. Pages with animated gradient backgrounds now properly detect WebGL2 availability and gracefully degrade to placeholders when unavailable, ensuring the app works reliably across all browsers and platforms.

Improved template deployment error handling

Template deployment now shows clearer error messages when repository names are already taken, with visual distinction between warnings and errors. Fixed organization role badges to correctly show ownership status in the organizations list.

GitHub token auto-refresh

GitHub OAuth tokens now automatically refresh when expired, ensuring uninterrupted access to repository deployments and GitHub integrations without requiring manual re-authentication.

Agent count accuracy improvements

Fixed agent count calculation to exclude internal server chat agents, providing accurate counts in the sidebar and dashboard. Users now see only their actual agent count without internal system agents inflating the numbers.

Organization deployment permissions fix

Fixed deployment update permissions for organization members. Team members can now update and manage deployments they have access to through their organization, matching the intended collaboration workflow.

Redesigned new server and templates experience

Completely redesigned the new server page with an inline GitHub repository browser featuring org/owner filtering and a streamlined two-column layout. Added a new templates gallery page showcasing 13 example MCP servers with widget previews and one-click deployment. Simplified sidebar navigation for a cleaner interface.

Custom domain SSL verification improvements

Fixed custom domain verification to properly detect SSL certificate provisioning states. Domains now show accurate status during SSL issuance with clearer messaging, preventing premature routing before certificates are fully active.

Build logs scroll improvements

Build logs now respect manual scrolling. Users can scroll up to review earlier log entries without being forced back to the bottom. Auto-scroll resumes when scrolling near the bottom during active builds.

Fixed broken documentation and navigation links

Corrected multiple broken links across the website including the homepage MCP Servers documentation link, Supabase deployment guide, and careers footer link. Implemented automated link checking to prevent future broken links.

Fixed homepage MCP Servers documentation link

Updated MCP Servers card on homepage to point to the correct TypeScript server documentation, replacing a broken link that returned 404.
