v0.2.3

We've added remote MCP headers and manual OAuth configuration (client ID, client secret, and callback port, like Claude Code), background color customization, and a few other small features and bug fixes.

Manual MCP header and OAuth configuration

Some remote MCP servers, like GitHub's, recommend using headers like the Authentication: Bearer ... to authenticate the server. Others, like Slack's, require users to manually input a client ID, client secret, and callback port (authentication parameters that are required for a complete OAuth login process).

Piebald now supports both remote MCP headers and manually inputting client ID, client secret, and callback port:

Background color customization

You can now customize the background color of the entire interface for light mode and dark mode. Go to Settings → Appearance and change the Background Color settings:

Other

• Automatically minimize the feedback dialog when you click Submit.
• Added a new button to delete all trashed chats in a project.
• Changed the color for the AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md context notification from red to blue to avoid it looking like an error.

v0.2.0

In Piebald v0.2.0 we've added an integrated file browser, code editor, and integrated terminal, and added support for worktrees, skills as slash commands, message queuing, Qwen OAuth support, localization, and remote/HTTP MCP servers!

Integrated file browser, Git viewer, and code editor (Pro)

The sidebar in Piebald is now project-oriented instead of just chat-oriented, with each project getting its own randomly-generated colored avatar for easier identification, and a search box to filter projects and worktrees by name. This allows us to include an integrated file browser, Git viewer, and code editor, as well as an integrated terminal!

Integrated terminal (Pro)

In addition to the file browser, Git viewer, and code editor, we've added an integrated terminal feature that you can use to run commands in the project directory.

Git worktrees (Pro)

We now support creating and using Git worktrees within a project! You can create chats in specific worktrees, view/edit files, and run terminal commands in them.

Skills as slash commands

Skills can now be invoked as slash commands in the chat input. All local skills in .agents/skills and global skills in $HOME/.agents/skills that are automatically loaded into new chats will also be available via /<skill-name>.

Message queuing (Pro)

When you want to send a message while a previous one is still generating a response, you can now choose to interrupt it or queue it in two different modes: send right away, and follow-up.

• "Send right away" will not interrupt the current generation but rather send the message as soon as the current message is done being generated, before the model has the opportunity to respond to tool call output.
• "Follow-up" will queue the message to be sent after the current task is complete, including all tool calls.

Qwen OAuth support

You can now log in with your Qwen.ai account via OAuth, similar to Qwen Code. The free tier includes 1,000 requests per day.

Localization

We've translated the UI into 4 languages: Chinese (Simplified), German, Russian, and Spanish. You can change the language in Settings → Language.

Remote/HTTP MCP servers

We now support remote HTTP MCP servers! To add an HTTP MCP server, go to Settings → MCP Servers → Add → Add Server, select "HTTP" as the transport type, and enter the URL of the server.

Tool calls are now interruptible

You can now interrupt tool calls at any time, via esc or by clicking the interrupt button in the chat input box or on an individual tool call.

Other

• We added a quick start section that you can use to quickly sign in to a supported OAuth provider or paste an API key
• Many more read-only bash commands are now auto-approved
• When a chat is automatically-compacted, generation is automatically resumed in the new chat
• We've added new buttons to jump to the top and bottom of the chat
• We've added a new setting to automatically append the duration of a terminal command/sub agent to the tool's output
• We've fixed support for customizing the system prompt when using OpenAI Responses API providers
• Subagents are now automatically approved
• You can now toggle word wrap for diff views
• We've updated the title generation prompt to make titles shorter and more helpful
• Title generation can now be postponed by the model if the conversation is not yet ready for a title
• Subagents will no longer send notifications when they're complete
• The WebFetch tool is now much faster and more accurate

We also fixed a number of bugs around authentication, editing profiles, message interruption, plan approval, provider icons, tool call status, regeneration, responsiveness, and much more.

Next

We're working on hooks, first-class support for many more providers, accurate token usage metrics, context editing, syncing & storage with Piebald Cloud, and subscription provider rate limit monitoring. We're also planning to soon work on worktree creation scripts, integrated LSP support, importing chats from Claude Code, OpenCode, etc., a stats page, and more.
