# Browser sign-in for web agents, and long-running server commands

Week ending October 9, 2026. CLI 0.1.31.

- **MCP.** Hosts like ChatGPT, Claude and Codex on the web can link an Ample account through browser sign-in with an emailed 6-digit code. Agent signup is unchanged.
- **MCP.** The remote MCP server serves an Ample panel for hosts that support MCP Apps. Tools that only call the API respond faster, and every tool has a readable title.
- **CLI.** `ample server exec` waits for long commands (up to an hour with --timeout-secs). New `ample service start|restart|status|delete` runs a supervised process with a URL on an existing server.
- **Runtime.** The Node, Python and Rust images now include git, so agents can clone code onto a server.
- **CLI.** `ample plan` links services to any sibling whose <NAME>_URL the code reads, plans a static web/ folder beside an API, and names new projects after their folder.
- **CLI.** The Linux x86-64 CLI is now a static binary, so it runs on older distributions such as Debian bookworm, Ubuntu 22.04 and Amazon Linux.
- **Deploy.** Retrying after a failed first deploy now reuses the app's managed database instead of asking for a second one, which the free plan refused.
- **Storage.** The S3 endpoint is s3.ample.computer and published files are served under cdn.ample.computer. `ample usage` shows bucket read and write requests.
