## Summary
- remove the misleading **Connect your agent** section from Builder
Project Settings
- make the CLI the sole owner of MCP client configuration
- verify the linked project endpoint and credential before changing
client configuration
- safely merge Webstudio into existing Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code
MCP files
- print the explicit global registration command for Codex instead of
editing its global configuration silently
- document the agent-led setup flow and safe handling of editable share
links
## Why
Builder runs in the browser and cannot configure files or global
settings on a user's local machine. The previous Project Settings UI
duplicated client definitions in the protocol package, exposed a setup
command containing the project credential, and could appear successful
without proving that the local agent was connected.
This moves local-client concerns into the CLI, removes the browser-only
setup surface, and makes configuration success depend on a valid,
reachable project link.
## User impact
A user can ask their agent to connect the current folder to Webstudio.
The agent links and synchronizes the project, runs `webstudio connect
<client>`, reloads the client, and verifies the connection by listing
project pages.
Invalid or stale links fail before any client file is changed, with a
credential-safe recovery message.
## Validation
- full CLI suite: 50 files, 786 tests
- full Builder suite: 163 files, 2,148 tests
- protocol suite: 73 tests
- CLI, Builder, and protocol typechecks
- root lint and package-boundary checks
- generated API and documentation checks
- real VS Code MCP handshake against a saved project: 156 tools
discovered
- fresh weak-model subagent test: repeated connection remained
idempotent and `meta.index` returned `ok: true`
## Summary
This improves how coding agents discover, author, verify, and audit
Webstudio projects through the CLI and MCP. The work focuses on making
agents more reliable with less context, while keeping edits semantic and
Builder-editable.
## What changes for users
- Agents can verify dynamic bindings after authoring and receive
actionable diagnostics when expressions, resources, scopes, or component
props do not line up.
- Agents can create complete resource-backed runtime UI through a
semantic operation instead of coordinating fragile low-level edits.
- MCP discovery and command output are compact by default, with
pagination and focused verbose detail when an agent needs more context.
- Asset, style, token, font, page, and component inspection provides
stronger usage context so agents can preserve the existing design
system.
- Rendered audits provide better evidence for responsive behavior,
geometry, contrast, generated-build size, and large-project runs.
- Cross-project MCP workflows can run from a manifest with explicit
mutation approval, isolated failures, resumable progress, and persistent
checkpoints.
- Project-specific agent onboarding is clearer and does not add
telemetry.
- Packaged CLI releases gain stronger smoke verification for install,
MCP startup, authoring, preview, screenshots, and audits.
## Reliability and architecture
- Runtime operation output schemas are generated from the runtime
registry and remain client-compatible.
- Project-build exports are consolidated around architectural boundaries
instead of feature-by-feature convenience entry points.
- HTTP, preview, screenshot, and project-session paths are hardened for
longer autonomous workflows.
- Craft compatibility work is read-only and provenance-aware; it does
not silently opt ordinary projects into Craft behavior.
- A minimal-context evaluation harness exercises key workflows with a
weaker model and stores bounded, privacy-safe evidence.
## Validation
- Rebased on the latest `origin/main`.
- `pnpm lint`
- Repository-wide `oxfmt --check`
- CLI typecheck and full test suite: 773 tests passed.
- Project-build typecheck and full test suite: 1,866 tests passed.
- Protocol typecheck and full test suite: 83 tests passed.
- HTTP client tests: 23 passed.
- CSS data tests: 3,620 passed, 1 skipped.
- Focused Builder tests: 67 passed.
- Package-boundary, generated API, and generated documentation checks
passed.
- Minimal-context agent evaluations passed for authenticated
resource-backed UI and design-system-aware responsive authoring.
## Summary
This improves how agents discover, author, inspect, and verify Webstudio
projects while reducing unnecessary MCP context usage.
## What changed
- Adds an **Agents** section to Project Settings with ready-to-run setup
commands and client configuration for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and VS
Code.
- Makes large list and schema responses compact and paginated by
default, with **verbose** available when complete records or diagnostics
are needed.
- Applies consistent compact output to assets, instances, styles, design
tokens, CLI schemas, and project-session metadata.
- Returns actionable expression warnings for props, resources, and
Collection bindings, including unknown variables and risky render-time
mutation resources.
- Improves Collection expression guidance so agents can bind array items
with the correct scoped variables.
- Reports rendered audit outcomes explicitly as complete, partial,
confirmation-required, or failed.
- Expands runtime output schemas so MCP clients can validate responses
reliably.
- Strengthens the packaged CLI smoke workflow with a realistic
seven-page stdio MCP scenario.
## Architecture
- Consolidates `project-build` from 65 file-oriented entrypoints to 11
architecture-owned surfaces.
- Separates the core model, contracts, runtime authoring, transfer,
state, project sessions, MCP, visual tooling, persistence codecs, and
authenticated server services.
- Isolates Node-only JSX evaluation from browser-safe transfer utilities
and authenticated server modules.
- Keeps persistence codecs independent from authenticated database
services, preventing unrelated module initialization.
- Defines shared instance-path types once and reuses them across runtime
modules.
- Preserves Immer initialization through explicit package side-effect
metadata.
- Adds package tests that prevent a return to source-file entrypoints or
generic exposure of Node-only surfaces.
## Validation
- Full repository checks, tests, typechecks, generated-file checks, and
fixtures
- All 163 Builder test files and 2,141 tests
- All 71 project-build test files and 1,794 tests
- Lint and package-boundary validation
- Full packed CLI release smoke test, including install, preview, agent
setup, seven-page stdio MCP workflow, rendered audit, and structured
commands
## Summary
This update adds new MCP and CLI capabilities for project auditing,
structured data, project-specific agent instructions, focused project
search, safer bulk editing, image descriptions, font discovery, visual
verification, and external registry inspection.
## New Capabilities
### Audit projects
- Run a single `audit` command across accessibility, SEO, security,
assets, styles, and performance.
- Limit an audit to selected scopes, pages, or severity levels.
- Receive stable findings with locations and suggested fixes.
- Run rendered audits across desktop, mobile, and Builder breakpoint
widths.
- Detect horizontal overflow, broken images, oversized images, eager
below-fold images, render-blocking resources, and legacy font formats.
- Identify unused assets, tokens, CSS variables, local styles, and
breakpoints.
- Identify duplicate token declarations.
- Detect accessibility issues involving names, labels, headings,
landmarks, IDs, keyboard focus, ARIA, iframes, and autoplaying media.
- Detect SEO issues involving titles, descriptions, language, social
images, and structured data.
- Detect unsafe new-tab links and write resources exposed during page
rendering.
### Search an entire project
- Search project text, labels, props, resources, assets, and styles
through `search-project`.
- Find relevant records without downloading and reparsing the full
project snapshot.
- Scope searches to the relevant project-data areas.
### Add validated JSON-LD
- Add structured data with a dedicated JSON-LD component.
- Place JSON-LD inside the page Head Slot.
- Edit JSON in a purpose-built code editor.
- Prevent structurally invalid JSON-LD from being saved.
- Validate Schema.org types, properties, and values.
- Find invalid, missing, unknown, deprecated, or incompatible structured
data through the SEO audit.
- Let agents discover the correct JSON-LD workflow without using page
custom metadata or a generic HTML embed.
### Configure project-specific agent instructions
- Add AI-agent instructions from the new **Agents** section in Project
Settings.
- Synchronize those instructions into a managed root `AGENTS.md`.
- Update or remove the managed file automatically during project sync.
- Protect existing user-owned `AGENTS.md` files from being overwritten.
- Share the instructions with authenticated CLI and MCP agents.
- Keep agent instructions out of publicly readable production bundles.
### Generate and manage image descriptions
- Audit image assets for missing descriptions.
- Let a vision-capable agent inspect each image in its rendered context.
- Save generated descriptions to multiple image assets in one operation.
- Mark images as intentionally decorative.
- Reuse the saved asset description wherever the image is used.
- Re-run the audit to verify that missing-description findings are
resolved.
### Perform bounded bulk replacements
- Replace matching literal text across selected pages with
`replace-text`.
- Replace matching fixed prop text with `replace-prop-text`.
- Replace matching resource names or URLs with `replace-resource-text`.
- Restrict replacements by page, instance, prop, resource, field, match
mode, and maximum change count.
- Leave dynamic expressions unchanged.
### Inspect element ancestry
- Return an element’s direct parent in instance listings.
- Request the complete ancestor chain when inspecting an element.
- Understand tree placement without rebuilding the instance hierarchy
from raw project data.
### Discover available fonts
- List uploaded font families through `list-fonts`.
- Discover available system font stacks.
- Inspect font family, style, weight, format, and associated asset
information before applying typography.
### Inspect external component registries
- Inspect a local or remote shadcn-style registry item.
- Read its description, files, dependencies, targets, and documentation.
- Receive an explicit Webstudio compatibility report.
- Inspect registry metadata without installing or executing external
code.
### Capture generated project routes directly
- Run `webstudio screenshot --path /route` against the configured
project.
- Generate a temporary production-style preview automatically.
- Capture the requested route.
- Stop the temporary preview after capture.
- Avoid manually building and starting a preview for a single
screenshot.
### Assert visual changes
- Add expected text to screenshot comparisons.
- Set maximum pixel mismatch limits.
- Set minimum or maximum changed-region counts.
- Assert whether overall brightness or a color channel moved in the
expected direction.
- Use these assertions as pass/fail evidence for visual changes.
### Require compatible CLI versions
- Send the project-bundle contract version with CLI synchronization
requests.
- Stop incompatible CLI versions before they receive incomplete project
data.
- Tell users exactly how to update the CLI or run the latest version
once.
- Prevent older clients from silently dropping project settings.
## Upgrade Note
This branch introduces a new synchronized project-bundle contract. Older
CLI versions must update before synchronizing against the new API.
```sh
npm install -g webstudio@latest
```
Or run the latest version once:
```sh
npx webstudio@latest <command>
```

the import RPC to avoid request body limits.
- Upload referenced assets as binary files through the existing asset
upload route before importing asset rows.
- Add `--skip-assets` and `--ignore-version-check` import options.
- Add retry handling for transient missing imported asset files by
re-uploading only the reported missing assets.
- Share missing-asset import error formatting/parsing through protocol
to avoid duplicated string contracts.
- Preserve browser asset upload behavior while adding API upload
support.
- Normalize schema naming across the branch to lower-case names without
`Schema` suffix.
Closes https://github.com/webstudio-is/webstudio/issues/3991
Adds HTTP Basic Authentication support for published pages and
project-level `.wsauth` rules.
This introduces a new `@webstudio-is/wsauth` package that owns the
generic authentication format logic: parsing, validation, serialization,
route matching, resource generation, and request authentication. The
current supported method is `basic`, with the package structured so
additional auth methods can be added later.
Builder changes include:
- Page Settings now has an `Authentication` section for per-page Basic
Auth credentials.
- Project Settings now has an `Authentication` section for editing
`.wsauth` route rules.
- Page Settings was split into section-specific files with focused
tests.
- Auth UI shows Pro badges/info tooltips but remains editable.
- Publishing to custom domains is blocked on plans without `allowAuth`
when either page auth or project auth is configured.
- ProBadge now renders as a real pricing link and uses improved text
alignment.
Build/publish changes include:
- CLI prebuild generates and merges `.wsauth` entries.
- Published app templates enforce auth for HTML/XML routes.
- Generated auth resources are shared between build output and runtime.

This PR replaces the limited "States" dropdown in the Style Panel with a
flexible input field that supports any CSS selector, pseudo-class, or
pseudo-element. This allows for advanced styling capabilities such as
`:has()`, `:focus-visible`, and complex combinators.
## Key Changes
### Flexible Selector Input
- Replaced the fixed "States" category list with a free-form input
field.
- Supports **any** valid CSS selector (e.g., `:hover`, `::before`,
`:has(:checked)`).
- Validation logic ensures only valid selectors are accepted (triggered
on `Enter` key).
## How to Test
1. Select an element and open the Style Panel.
2. Click on the Local style source or a Token.
3. In the input field (bottom of menu), type a selector like `:hover` or
`:first-child` and press Enter.
4. Verify the selector is added and selected.
