Dashboard UX overhaul
This release introduces a major dashboard redesign focused on simplifying MCP server management and improving the overall user experience.
-
Unified MCP architecture: All sources — whether from external MCP servers in the catalog, code using Gram functions, or OpenAPI uploads — now immediately create MCP servers. This eliminates confusion around the relationship between toolsets and MCP servers. Toolsets remain available under each MCP server for tool curation.
-
Simplified secret management: MCP secrets are now easier to manage through a dedicated authentication tab under each MCP server. Environments are automatically created when authentication secrets are set up. Each secret can be system-defined or user-defined, where system-defined variables replace the previous “attached environments” concept.
-
Refreshed layout: A fresher dashboard layout with better use of horizontal and vertical navigation, plus revamped onboarding and home screens.
