Changelog
What changed in the systemHUB MCP and these docs, newest first. The tool reference is regenerated from the live schema snapshot on every deploy; this page records the deltas so a returning agent (or its human) can see what’s new at a glance.
2026-08-08
- Tool renamed:
generate_document_share_link→get_document_share_link. The rename happened on the live MCP after our last schema pull, so the docs were pointing agents at a tool that no longer exists. Caught in technical review before the public flip. Snapshot re-pulled from the live endpoint and all references updated. (Earlier changelog entries keep the old name — they’re a record of what was true at the time.) - Reminder for maintainers: the schema snapshot goes stale. Re-pull from the live MCP endpoint as part of any deploy that matters, not just when tools are added.

- Tool reference now documents response shapes. Every one of the 48 tools gains a generated Returns table with field names, types and one level of nesting — so
statevsdocumentStateandreviewDatevsreview_dateare answerable from the page instead of by calling each tool and reverse-engineering the response. Generated from the live schemas like the rest of the page, so it can’t drift. - Corrected the review-debt recipe on Organise the library and Audit access. Both said to find overdue documents by scanning for
state: 2(RED). RED doesn’t set itself, so an untended library reports zero debt. UsereviewDate(on every response) — anything in the past, plus anything with no review date set. - Sharing & links: noted that opening a share link rewrites to a
/guest/route carrying the alias, and that the section segment isn’t validated — a system’s UUID and code under/policies/still renders the system, so don’t infer section from the URL.

Client compatibility documented honestly, after an independent cross-platform test. Getting started previously implied any MCP client would work, with ChatGPT as a “same pattern” aside. That overclaimed:
- Google Gemini CLI is verified working — 48 tools over OAuth against a production workspace, with the exact
gemini mcp addcommand now documented. Retrieval behaviour was identical to Claude’s, confirming the server behaves the same regardless of client. - Concurrent clients verified — Claude and Gemini CLI held live sessions on the same user simultaneously. One token can serve several clients (generating a new token still disconnects all of your own at once).
- But several clients can’t connect at all: ChatGPT needs a paid tier with developer mode, and the Gemini web app has no custom-server option whatsoever (Gemini Enterprise or the CLI only). A new compatibility table states which clients work, and a rollout warning flags that free-tier users may have no route in.
2026-08-05
From a second-round external audit (Jim Carlin), both on Sharing & links:
- The human-readable share link is not agent-fetchable. It’s a client-rendered view, so a plain HTTP request returns the JavaScript shell rather than the document — and the 404 for a wrong share code is also client-side, so status codes prove nothing. Stated explicitly now, along with the consequence: with the api-host form still 403ing, there is currently no share URL an external agent can fetch without a browser. Share links are for people; programs should use MCP.
- Share codes are not unique per document. Duplicating a document copies its share code, so a copy and its original share one code (reproduced across two document pairs). Index on document UUID, not share code. Two code formats are also in circulation, so don’t validate by shape. Logged with the product team.
2026-08-04
Corrections from a second external field audit (all 15 pages read and cross-checked against the live schemas and a 30-call pipeline run — thank you, Jim Carlin):
- NEW — the human-readable share link is documented.
https://{alias}.systemhub.com/systems/{uuid}/{shareCode}renders the published document in a browser with no login (verified 4 Aug in a clean session; a wrong share code 404s). Sharing & links previously said no human app URL existed via the API — that was wrong, and it was steering agents away from a working answer. This is also the practical workaround for theapi.systemhub.com403. - Fixed a broken example. Organise the library showed
{"parent": "root"}on the folder-create tools.parentis typed as a UUID there and"root"is rejected — omit the field for top level. ("root"is valid onget_folder_tree, which is where it was copied from.) - Corrected the publish model. Document lifecycle implied edits need an explicit publish. They don’t —
edit_*auto-publishes, and so do metadata writes:add_document_tagsand the template/media/attachment tools default topublish: true. Tagging a document publishes it, which defeats apublish: falsecreated earlier. There is no quiet-editing mode by default. - Teach your AI no longer writes an ambiguous state fact into permanent agent memory (“drafts are ORANGE” collided with state 0 = GREY/draft and with
publish: false); it now names all three senses. - Corrected the 126KB advice. “Write in sections” made it worse —
edit_*replaces the whole content field, so incremental writing resends everything each time. Split across documents instead. - Also:
get_document_activity_logadded to the audit tool list, a warning thatmanage_document_membersupdatereplaces roles rather than merging, a pagination warning, and a corrected tool count on Audit access.
2026-07-31 (later)
- Getting started now carries a field-tested team-connection procedure, verified live by a SYSTEMologist agency connecting a second team member: each person generates their own token from their own login, then connects through the existing connector entry and approves as themselves. Added troubleshooting rows for “No active agent token found” and “a server with this URL already exists”.
- Correction: generating a token does not disconnect colleagues. Tokens are per-person — generating revokes only your own previous token and your own sessions. Earlier wording here implied it was account-wide; that was wrong, and it was disproven in a live test (one member generated a token while another stayed connected throughout).
2026-07-31
- Correction — MCP session scoping is workspace-level, not per-user. These docs previously stated that a connection is scoped to the connecting user’s visibility. That is not how the current OAuth flow behaves: a session is bound to the identity on the workspace’s most recently generated AI Gateway token, regardless of who connects. On a multi-user workspace, agents can therefore resolve to the same identity — in either direction (a restricted user inheriting broader visibility, or an admin being scoped down). The claim has been corrected on Getting started, Errors & limits, Teach your AI and llms.txt. A fix binding each connection to the person connecting is logged as a critical item with the product team; these docs will be updated when it ships.
- Practical guidance until then: treat MCP access as workspace-level. Connect agents only for people you’re comfortable seeing everything the token generator can see, and don’t rely on MCP session identity for audit attribution.
2026-07-29
- Docs now live at systemhub.com/docs (review mode — noindex until final technical sign-off). llms.txt and llms-full.txt are served at the systemhub.com root.
- Getting started now carries the confirmed connection details from the product UI: server URL
https://mcp.systemhub.com/mcp, OAuth Client ID = company alias, token shown once with a 180-day lifetime (rotation reminder at day 144), and the gotcha that generating a new token immediately revokes the old one and disconnects connected agents (also added to troubleshooting).
2026-07-28
Field-tested by a beta agency (25-call end-to-end SOP pipeline). Two issues confirmed and documented while fixes are tracked with the product team:
- HTML-escaped
contentis stored silently and publishes as visible tag soup — warning added to Authoring content and the errors table: send raw HTML, read back after writing. - Share links currently fail external fetch (403 “Company not found”) — Sharing & links updated with the known issue; don’t promise external access until the fix lands.
- Also noted on Sharing & links: no human app URL exists in any API response today (
appUrlis a requested enhancement).
2026-07-27
Docs: machine-affordance upgrades (patterns adopted from an audit of Outstand’s docs — the headless reference standard):
/llms-full.txt— the entire docs corpus in one fetch, generated with every build. Linked from llms.txt.- Canonical metadata on every raw page — each
.mdnow carries its canonical URL and a connect/auth/tool-count line, so a page quoted into an agent’s context keeps its address. - llms.txt hardened — dated, with a “Canonical facts” block (authoritative over stale third-party write-ups) and a “What the MCP does not do” list.
- Getting started expanded — per-client connection steps (Claude, ChatGPT, any MCP client) and a six-symptom troubleshooting table.
- Document lifecycle gained a “How systemHUB behaves over time” table — the create/publish/edit/editor-filter sequence an agent should reason with.
- Teach your AI — new page: the first-session prompt and the standing-context briefing an agent saves (CLAUDE.md or equivalent) so every future session can drive systemHUB without re-learning.
2026-07-23
MCP: 5 new tools (snapshot 43 → 48):
generate_document_share_link— public, no-login share URLs that serve the published document as machine-readable JSON. See the new Sharing & links page.get_document_activity_log— per-document audit trail: who created it, who last edited it, full event feed (optionally including view events).manage_document_members— write-side document access: assign/remove members and roles on a document.list_company_members/list_roles— resolve people and roles by name to UUIDs (companions tomanage_document_members).
Known-limits changes these tools unlock:
“No write-side user management”→ narrowed: document-level member/role assignment is now writable. Seat provisioning (inviting people, allocating licences) remains app-UI only.“No who-viewed-what telemetry”→ narrowed: per-document activity (including views) is now readable via the activity log. Workspace-wide usage analytics remain unavailable.
Docs: added Sharing & links and this changelog; system anatomy in Authoring content extended to Trigger → Steps → Definition of done.
