  Copilot CLI by GitHub

  1.0.25

  Copilot CLI adds guided MCP server installation from the registry, remote session control, and richer session and environment tools. It also improves model handling, sharing, logout warnings, text editing, and reliability across MCP connections and skill instructions.

  2026-04-13

  Install MCP servers from the registry with guided configuration directly in the CLI

  Esc key works correctly after a failed /resume session lookup

  Persist resolved model in session history and defer model changes during active turns

  ACP clients can now provide MCP servers (stdio, HTTP, SSE) when starting or loading sessions

  The --config-dir flag is now respected when selecting the active model

  Add /env command to show loaded environment details (instructions, MCP servers, skills, agents, plugins)

  /share appends the correct file extension (.md or .html) when a custom output path is given without one

  /add-dir accepts relative paths (e.g. ./src, ../sibling) and resolves them to absolute paths

  Custom instruction files preserve special characters like & and

  Skill picker list scrolls correctly when the list exceeds the terminal height

  MCP client reports the correct CLI version during server handshake

  /logout shows a warning when signed in via gh CLI, PAT, API key, or environment variable, since /logout only manages OAuth sessions

  Alt+D now deletes the word in front of the cursor in text input

  /share html shows a file:// URL and supports Ctrl+X O to open the file directly

  Skill instructions persist correctly across conversation turns

  You can now remote control your CLI sessions using --remote or /remote

  MCP remote server connections automatically retry on transient network failures

  Share Research TOC sidebar anchor links navigate correctly within the page

  Claude Code by Anthropic

  2.1.101

  Claude Code releases a broad update with team onboarding guides, stronger remote-session setup, smarter brief and focus modes, better plugin and MCP handling, and major reliability fixes across resume, auth, settings, and editor workflows, plus security and memory improvements.

  • Added /team-onboarding command to generate a teammate ramp-up guide from your local Claude Code usage
  • Added OS CA certificate store trust by default, so enterprise TLS proxies work without extra setup (set CLAUDE_CODE_CERT_STORE=bundled to use only bundled CAs)
  • /ultraplan and other remote-session features now auto-create a default cloud environment instead of requiring web setup first
  • Improved brief mode to retry once when Claude responds with plain text instead of a structured message
  • Improved focus mode: Claude now writes more self-contained summaries since it knows you only see its final message
  • Improved tool-not-available errors to explain why and how to proceed when the model calls a tool that exists but isn't available in the current context
  • Improved rate-limit retry messages to show which limit was hit and when it resets instead of an opaque seconds countdown
  • Improved refusal error messages to include the API-provided explanation when available
  • Improved claude -p --resume <name> to accept session titles set via /rename or --name
  • Improved settings resilience: an unrecognized hook event name in settings.json no longer causes the entire file to be ignored
  • Improved plugin hooks from plugins force-enabled by managed settings to run when allowManagedHooksOnly is set
  • Improved /plugin and claude plugin update to show a warning when the marketplace could not be refreshed, instead of silently reporting a stale version
  • Improved plan mode to hide the "Refine with Ultraplan" option when the user's org or auth setup can't reach Claude Code on the web
  • Improved beta tracing to honor OTEL_LOG_USER_PROMPTS, OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS, and OTEL_LOG_TOOL_CONTENT; sensitive span attributes are no longer emitted unless opted in
  • Improved SDK query() to clean up subprocess and temp files when consumers break from for await or use await using
  • Fixed a command injection vulnerability in the POSIX which fallback used by LSP binary detection
  • Fixed a memory leak where long sessions retained dozens of historical copies of the message list in the virtual scroller
  • Fixed --resume/--continue losing conversation context on large sessions when the loader anchored on a dead-end branch instead of the live conversation
  • Fixed --resume chain recovery bridging into an unrelated subagent conversation when a subagent message landed near a main-chain write gap
  • Fixed a crash on --resume when a persisted Edit/Write tool result was missing its file_path
  • Fixed a hardcoded 5-minute request timeout that aborted slow backends (local LLMs, extended thinking, slow gateways) regardless of API_TIMEOUT_MS
  • Fixed permissions.deny rules not overriding a PreToolUse hook's permissionDecision: "ask" — previously the hook could downgrade a deny into a prompt
  • Fixed --setting-sources without user causing background cleanup to ignore cleanupPeriodDays and delete conversation history older than 30 days
  • Fixed Bedrock SigV4 authentication failing with 403 when ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, apiKeyHelper, or ANTHROPIC_CUSTOM_HEADERS set an Authorization header
  • Fixed claude -w <name> failing with "already exists" after a previous session's worktree cleanup left a stale directory
  • Fixed subagents not inheriting MCP tools from dynamically-injected servers
  • Fixed sub-agents running in isolated worktrees being denied Read/Edit access to files inside their own worktree
  • Fixed sandboxed Bash commands failing with mktemp: No such file or directory after a fresh boot
  • Fixed claude mcp serve tool calls failing with "Tool execution failed" in MCP clients that validate outputSchema
  • Fixed RemoteTrigger tool's run action sending an empty body and being rejected by the server
  • Fixed several /resume picker issues: narrow default view hiding sessions from other projects, unreachable preview on Windows Terminal, incorrect cwd in worktrees, session-not-found errors not surfacing in stderr, terminal title not being set, and resume hint overlapping the prompt input
  • Fixed Grep tool ENOENT when the embedded ripgrep binary path becomes stale (VS Code extension auto-update, macOS App Translocation); now falls back to system rg and self-heals mid-session
  • Fixed /btw writing a copy of the entire conversation to disk on every use
  • Fixed /context Free space and Messages breakdown disagreeing with the header percentage
  • Fixed several plugin issues: slash commands resolving to the wrong plugin with duplicate name: frontmatter, /plugin update failing with ENAMETOOLONG, Discover showing already-installed plugins, directory-source plugins loading from a stale version cache, and skills not honoring context: fork and agent frontmatter fields
  • Fixed the /mcp menu offering OAuth-specific actions for MCP servers configured with headersHelper; Reconnect is now offered instead to re-invoke the helper script
  • Fixed ctrl+], ctrl+\, and ctrl+^ keybindings not firing in terminals that send raw C0 control bytes (Terminal.app, default iTerm2, xterm)
  • Fixed /login OAuth URL rendering with padding that prevented clean mouse selection
  • Fixed rendering issues: flicker in non-fullscreen mode when content above the visible area changed, terminal scrollback being wiped during long sessions in non-fullscreen mode, and mouse-scroll escape sequences occasionally leaking into the prompt as text
  • Fixed crash when settings.json env values are numbers instead of strings
  • Fixed in-app settings writes (e.g. /add-dir --remember, /config) not refreshing the in-memory snapshot, preventing removed directories from being revoked mid-session
  • Fixed custom keybindings (~/.claude/keybindings.json) not loading on Bedrock, Vertex, and other third-party providers
  • Fixed claude --continue -p not correctly continuing sessions created by -p or the SDK
  • Fixed several Remote Control issues: worktrees removed on session crash, connection failures not persisting in the transcript, spurious "Disconnected" indicator in brief mode for local sessions, and /remote-control failing over SSH when only CLAUDE_CODE_ORGANIZATION_UUID is set
  • Fixed /insights sometimes omitting the report file link from its response
  • [VSCode] Fixed the file attachment below the chat input not clearing when the last editor tab is closed

  • Custom agent model field now accepts display names and vendor suffixes from VS Code (e.g., "Claude Sonnet 4.5", "GPT-5.4 (copilot)")
  • Terminal state (alt screen, cursor, raw mode) is restored correctly after CLI crashes like OOM or segfaults
  • The --remote flag is respected when the session sync prompt appears on first run in a GitHub repo
  • Redesign exit screen with Copilot mascot and cleaner usage summary layout
