Releases

The latest updates and improvements to Simple Product.

MCP Workspace Switching & Bug Fixes

MCP Workspace Switching

You can now switch between workspaces directly in conversation without restarting your AI coding assistant.

New tools:

  • list_workspaces - See all workspaces you have access to
  • switch_workspace - Switch to a different workspace instantly

How it works:

You: "What workspace am I in?"
AI: "You're in sp (Simple Product)"

You: "Switch to nexlayer"
AI: "Switched to Nexlayer! All subsequent commands will use this workspace."

You: "Create a doc called API Notes"
AI: [Creates doc in Nexlayer workspace]

No restart required - switching is instant and persists for future sessions.

How to Update

To use the new workspace switching feature, you'll need to update your MCP installation:

1. Reinstall the MCP package

npx @simple-product/mcp@latest --install

2. Restart your MCP-enabled app

  • Claude Code: Restart the terminal/CLI
  • Claude Desktop: Quit and reopen the app
  • Cursor/VS Code: Restart the editor or reload the window

After restarting, the new list_workspaces and switch_workspace tools will be available.


Bug Fixes

Google OAuth Integration Fixed

Fixed an issue where the Google OAuth redirect URI was incorrectly set to http://0.0.0.0:3000 instead of the production URL. This was blocking Google's OAuth verification process and could prevent Gmail/Calendar integration from working.

Last Active Date Now Updates Correctly

Fixed a bug where the "Last Active" date on contact profiles wasn't updating on subsequent visits. Previously, it only updated on the first heartbeat of each day - now it updates on every activity.


Technical Changes

  • Consolidated NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL into NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL (one less env var to manage)
  • Added /api/mcp/workspaces and /api/mcp/switch endpoints
  • MCP package now uses mutable config state for hot switching
  • Updated to MCP package version 0.1.7

MCP: Claude Desktop Auto-Configuration

What's New

The Simple Product MCP installer now automatically detects and configures Claude Desktop.

How It Works

When you run npx @simple-product/mcp --install, the installer now:

  1. Detects if Claude Desktop is installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
  2. Automatically adds Simple Product to your claude_desktop_config.json
  3. No manual configuration needed

Supported Tools

The installer auto-configures all of these:

  • Claude Desktop (new!)
  • Claude Code (CLI)
  • Cursor
  • Windsurf
  • VS Code

Get Started

npx @simple-product/mcp --install

Then restart Claude Desktop to start using Simple Product tools.

Domain Migration & Bug Fixes

What's New

New Domain

Simple Product is now live at simpleproduct.dev! The old URL automatically redirects to the new domain.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed chat scroll issue - Chats no longer scroll off the top of the screen
  • Fixed chat deletion race condition - Empty chats are now properly cleaned up using server-side validation
  • Fixed draft save errors - No more "Chat not found" errors when saving drafts

Performance Improvements

  • Optimized AI token usage - Reduced tokens per request from ~11k to ~4k by limiting message history to 15 messages and truncating long messages at 4000 characters. This helps stay within rate limits with more concurrent users.

Infrastructure

  • Added redirect server for seamless migration from old URL

Workspace Invite Notifications

What's New

When you add an existing Simple Product user to your workspace, they now receive an email notification letting them know they've been added.

Details

  • New users still receive an invite email with a link to create their account
  • Existing users now receive a "You've been added" email with a direct link to the workspace
  • No more wondering if your teammate knows they have access - they'll get notified automatically

Card Links Now Open Sidebar

What's New

When you click on a linked card from a document, you now go directly to that card with its details panel open - no extra clicking needed.

Before

Clicking a linked card took you to the board, but you had to find and click the card again to see its details.

After

Clicking a linked card takes you to the board with the card's sidebar already open, so you can immediately see all the details, linked docs, people, and related cards.


This is part of our ongoing work to make navigating between linked items feel seamless.

Hello World

Simple Product is now alive for testing and feedback!
