# Changelog for August 28th, 2026

New MCP tools, consecutive-failure Sitemap alerts, and improved Lighthouse checks.

## New

* Expanded our **MCP server** with new tools for:
  * Downtime, check summaries, and domain intelligence.
  * Maintenance windows and check state management.
  * Status page updates and notification destinations.
  * Scheduled tasks, tags, Broken Links, Application Health, and account management.
* Added a **consecutive failures** threshold for Sitemap notifications, allowing you to choose how many consecutive failures should occur before being notified.
* Added an in-app warning for **Slack connections that will stop working in November**, giving affected teams time to reconnect.

## Improvements

* AI wizard placeholder monitors no longer count toward your monitor limit or usage.
* Scheduled Task history now leaves a marker when older pings are pruned, making gaps in historical data clearer.
* Scheduled Task pings are now handled correctly even when they arrive out of order.
* Improved our MCP tools with clearer titles and behaviour hints.
* Improved the `get_uptime_statistics` MCP tool to return actual uptime percentages instead of response timings.
* Added documentation for connecting to the Oh Dear MCP server from clients other than Claude.
* Corrected our affiliate commission terms to **25% for the first 12 months**.
* Long-time members can now see their **legacy pricing** directly on the plan chooser.

## Security

* Changing your password now invalidates existing sessions and password reset tokens.
* Strengthened access controls for the new MCP write tools.

## Fixes

* Fixed **Lighthouse checks running every other day instead of daily**.
* Fixed Lighthouse history charts breaking when certain browser extensions are active.
* Fixed invoice ordering so invoices are sorted using their actual creation date in Stripe.
* Fixed a server error when changing a team's owner.
* Fixed double-encoded HTML entities appearing in inputs across the app after saving.
* Fixed a server error when accessing a status page domain route with an invalid hostname.
