Releases
0.17.3 - 23.05.2026#
Changed#
- Reworked landing header navigation — replaced old category dropdowns (AI, Analytics, Branding, Widgets, Translation) with 3 direct links (
AI,MCP,Skills) plus 2 curated dropdowns:Documentation(Quick Start, Basics, Creating Docs, Custom Domain, AI Translations, FAQ) andBlog(all 5 posts)
Added#
- Anonymous MCP access: any AI model can now connect to
https://docsbook.io/{owner}/{repo}/api/mcp/serverwithout authentication and useget_info,get_doc_graph, andread_doc_sectionsfor PRO+ workspaces - Scoped MCP endpoint
/{owner}/{repo}/api/mcp/server— connecting to this URL auto-scopes the server to the specified repository - Scoped
/{owner}/{repo}/.well-known/oauth-protected-resourcefor OAuth discovery per workspace - Every documentation page now includes
<link rel="mcp-server">meta tag so AI models can auto-discover the MCP server from any docs URL llms.txtnow includes a full MCP Server section with connect instructions, tool list, and discovery notes
0.17.2 - 23.05.2026#
Added#
get_doc_graphnow supportsformatparameter:"toon"(default) returns a compact text tree ~10x smaller than JSON with@canonical/refsyntax that LLMs parse natively;"json"preserves the previous full structured response for programmatic clients
Fixed#
- Paginate MCP
get_doc_graphto avoid hitting the MCP response token limit on large repos (previously a single 110k+ character JSON line blew past the limit and made the tool unusable in Claude). Addedpage/page_size(default 50),path_prefix,include_headings,include_relations, andinclude_github_urlsflags; relations are only emitted onpage=1to save bytes
0.17.1 - 23.05.2026#
Fixed#
- Prevent race conditions in monthly usage limits for
AI Chat,Translations, andReindex— concurrent requests could each pass a stale pre-check and push counters past the plan limit (visible as78/50pages translated on Pro). Replaced check-then-act with atomic conditionalUPDATE ... RETURNINGinbatchTranslate,/api/ai-chat, and the MCPreindexendpoint - Roll back the reserved reindex slot when
fetchAndIndexRepofails so transient errors no longer eat the monthly quota
0.17.0 - 23.05.2026#
Changed#
- Remove live preview modal from landing —
GitHub to DocsBookinput now navigates directly to/<owner>/<repo>?preview=trueinstead of opening an overlay - Replace dark-background OG/Twitter image with a landing-style preview — light gradient, "The AI Knowledge Platform" headline, feature badges, and a docs UI mockup — improves appearance when sharing links on X/Twitter
Fixed#

Ask AIbutton near the page title by default for new workspaces — previously off by default - Fix system theme not applying correctly due to shared

enterpriseworkspaces auto-migrated topro_pluskeeping all features
Fixed#
- Auth redirect loop after GitHub OAuth — stale
callbackUrlcookie pointing at a subdomain/connectcaused an infinite redirect cycle; NextAuthredirectcallback now normalises any subdomain/connect→docsbook.io/connect /connecton a workspace subdomain now redirects todocsbook.io/connectinstead of 404ConnectPagenow redirects to sign-in when the session cookie is present but invalid/expired, preventing a brokenConnectPickerstate- Workspace redirect after sign-in always uses
APP_DOMAINinstead of the requesthostheader, preventing wrong subdomain redirects - Infinite redirect loop for workspaces whose repo is named
