New capabilities and improvements across the Instaship console, CLI, API, and MCP server.
New
OAuth-secured MCP server
Instaship lifecycle and app-management capabilities are now available through MCP. OAuth clients get PKCE, rotating refresh tokens, and a consent screen for action, app, and environment scopes. MCP can inspect environment variable names and secret classifications but never returns their values; scoped API keys remain available for trusted headless clients.
New
Scoped app management
API keys can now receive app-management authority to create apps and update default provider manifests without gaining access to unrelated apps or bypassing workspace roles.
Improved
Mint credits at $0.25
Every new environment now costs $0.25 USD. Reuse and cleanup remain free, with no seat charge for people, agents, or CI.
New
Scoped API keys
Keys now carry explicit access rules for actions, apps, and environment types. The server enforces the same policy for the console, CLI, CI, and agents.
Custody
Workspace-level handoff
Custody now has a dedicated workspace surface. One bundle returns every provider credential and permanently ends Instaship access.
New
Apps as first-class context
Environments, minting, and provider defaults now follow the selected app. Keys, custody, usage, and credits remain workspace-wide.
Improved
Checkpoint auto-resume
Runs pause when a provider needs browser approval and resume from the parked step after approval. No second mint is required.
Improved
Vercel variable sync
Environment variables can sync directly to a selected Vercel target as an opt-in step during minting.
New
Evidence on every step
Provisioning records ordered status, errors, workflow references, duration, and evidence for each provider step.
