Full changelog

Toolport v1.6.0

Headless gateway, MCP over the network, and a much smoother first connect for npx servers.

This release is a big step if you've been running Toolport only as a desktop app. The same
toolport-gateway binary now deploys in Docker, speaks MCP streamable-HTTP, and publishes
to GHCR — while the desktop app picks up reliability fixes that matter day to day.

Before exposing headless on a network: read the production checklist in docs/headless.md.

Headless / container gateway

Run Toolport without the UI for sandboxes, agents, and Open WebUI:

| Endpoint | Use |
| ------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| POST /mcp | MCP clients over streamable-HTTP (Claude Code remote, Cursor, Pi, …) |
| GET /mcp | Long-lived SSE listen stream for server→client JSON-RPC |
| GET /openapi.json + POST /{tool} | Open WebUI, n8n, LibreChat |

docker pull ghcr.io/tsouth89/toolport-gateway:latest

See docs/headless.md for compose, env-file secrets, and handshake examples.

MCP server-initiated RPC (#167)

When your MCP client declares roots, sampling, or elicitation at initialize,
downstream servers can call back through the gateway:

roots/list
sampling/createMessage
elicitation/create

Works over stdio and HTTP MCP (inline during SSE POST responses).

npx / uvx first connect

npx -y, uvx, pnpm dlx, and similar launchers often need 15–60 seconds to download on
a cold cache. Toolport used to show a false Error after 10 seconds, then succeed on
retry.

Now:

120s first-connect budget for download launchers (10s for everything else)
"Installing…" badge while the package downloads
Background pre-warm when you add an npx-style server

Also in this release

AnythingLLM — connect from the Clients view
Teams usage rollups — per-server tool-call counts on the team dashboard
Registry safety — read failures no longer wipe your config
Faster gateway builds — CI/docker skip Tauri/WebKit (--no-default-features)
Headless docs — production checklist, security notes, scripts/smoke-headless.ps1

Upgrade

Desktop: Settings → About → Check for updates (v0.3.3+), or download the installer
from Releases.

Docker: docker pull ghcr.io/tsouth89/toolport-gateway:latest and restart your
container.

From source: git pull, npm install, npm run build:gateway, npm run tauri dev.
