September 24, 2025 by Craig Jellick

Check out all the new features at https://github.com/obot-platform/obot/releases/tag/v0.11.0.

🚀 Project Sharing with Templates & Shareable Links

One of the most requested features is finally here: you can now share projects with other users, making collaboration and onboarding easier than ever.

How it works:

  • Create a project as usual—add connectors (like Gmail or Google Calendar), set up your configuration, and give it a name and description.
  • Share with a click: Hit the “Share” button to generate a shareable link. This link includes your project’s setup: name, description, system prompt, and any connectors you’ve added.
  • Anyone with the link can launch the project on their own account, getting the same setup and a guided authentication flow for any required connectors.
  • Live updates: As the project author, you can update your project and push changes to everyone using your shared template.

This makes it simple to onboard teammates, share best practices, or roll out standardized workflows across your organization.

🛠️ Power User Roles & The MCP Publisher App

The second big feature: MCP server publishing is now open to more users, not just admins.

  • New roles: “Power User” and “Power User Plus” roles let you control who can create and publish MCP servers.
    • Power User: Can create their own MCP servers for personal use.
    • Power User Plus: Can create MCP servers and make them available to everyone in your Obot MCP Gateway instance.
  • MCP Publisher App: If you have one of the above roles, you’ll see a new app in the profile dropdown menu. Here, you can create, configure, and publish your own MCP servers—set descriptions, icons, categories, and access rules.
  • Access control: Admins can set default roles for new users and fine-tune who can publish what.

This means more flexibility and self-service for advanced users, while keeping things secure and manageable for admins.

🔒 Security & Backend Improvements

We’ve also made important security and infrastructure upgrades:

  • JWT-based OAuth tokens for better security and interoperability.
  • Audit log encryption to protect sensitive data.
  • Improved access control and enforcement for all user roles.

✨ Other Notable Improvements

  • Project sharing UI: Smoother, more reliable sharing, with better retention of task runs and change detection.
  • Table enhancements: Resizable cells and new header filters for easier data exploration.
  • Enterprise UI tag: Enterprise edition is now clearly surfaced in the UI.
  • Editor & input: New plaintext editor, better multi-value field handling, and improved copy-paste.
  • Docker backend: More robust Docker support and global MCP URLs.
  • UI/UX polish: Numerous fixes and enhancements for a smoother experience.
  • Expanded documentation: More on architecture, filters, and authentication.

To install on Docker:

docker run -d --name obot -p 8080:8080 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
