This release adds self-service API keys so you can authenticate your own MCP clients and integrations without asking a Venue administrator, and upgrades the Venue MCP Endpoint to the latest protocol revision. It also fixes a TechDocs crash and locks configuration on archived agents.

Create and manage your own API keys​

You can now generate personal API keys directly from Settings, without waiting on a Venue.sh administrator.

  • Self-service creation - Open Settings and create a key with an optional expiry.
  • Reveal once - Your new key is shown once at creation. Copy it immediately.
  • Revoke anytime - Remove a key you no longer need.
  • One active key at a time - Creating a new key revokes your existing one, so only the newest key stays valid.

See Settings for where to find your account options.

Connect with the updated MCP protocol​

The Venue MCP Endpoint now speaks the 2026-07-28 MCP protocol revision, with Streamable HTTP as the primary transport.

  • Streamable HTTP transport - Faster, more reliable connections for MCP clients that support the current spec.
  • Legacy endpoint redirect - Clients still calling the older /sse endpoint are redirected automatically, so most integrations keep working without changes.
  • Cache hints - Static resources like the tools catalog now advertise appropriate cache lifetimes, reducing repeated round-trips from your AI tool.

If your AI tool cannot follow redirects, update it to call /mcp directly. See Venue MCP Endpoint for connection details.

Fixes and improvements​

  • TechDocs navigation - Fixed a crash that could occur when a project's mkdocs.yml listed both index.md and README.md for the same folder. We also published a TechDocs authoring guide covering this and other common navigation pitfalls.
  • Archived agents - Archived agents can no longer be edited, so their configuration stays locked until you restore them.
