Changelog

Query cards: detail view and integration color

Results from query_rewind render as richer cards in MCP hosts.

• Poster-forward detail card — a single row carrying artwork shows it large and uncropped, with the year, the watch or read date, and a 0-10 rating promoted into the header as stars.
• Film backdrops — select movies.backdrop_path and the still renders across the top of the card, dissolving into the poster's dominant color.
• Color per integration — a chart drawn from one service takes that service's color and names it in the card header. Results spanning several services stay neutral.
• Source chips — a source value such as trakt or plex renders as a labeled brand dot wherever it appears.

Places domain

New sixth domain for check-in history from Foursquare and Swarm. Each check-in carries its venue, category, city, coordinates, and any shout.

• GET /v1/places/recent — check-ins newest first, with pagination and date filters.
• GET /v1/places/stats — totals, unique venues, this-year count, and top categories, cities, and venues, each with a category icon.
• GET /v1/places/trends — monthly check-in counts over time.
• See Places domain.

MCP server: SQL first

Claude now answers most questions by querying your data directly with SQL instead of calling one fixed tool per endpoint.

• get_schema — returns the annotated database schema: every queryable table with columns, join keys, and conventions.
• query_rewind — runs a single read-only SELECT against that schema, so cross-domain questions like "did I scrobble more on days I ran" work in one call.
• Read-only by design — writes, schema changes, multi-statement input, and any query touching secret tables are rejected server-side; the query surface is an allow-list of documented tables.
• Rich cards stay — get_recent_watches, get_top_artists, get_article, and the other visual tools still render interactive cards. See the MCP overview.

Running: every activity type, locations, and routes

The Running domain now imports every Strava activity, not just runs — rides, walks, hikes, weight training, and the rest.

• Each activity carries its sport_type, plus a city and state reverse-geocoded from the start coordinates.
• Activities include a route polyline for mapping.
• Filter by city on GET /v1/running/activities, and browse the cities endpoint. See Running domain.

Watching: Trakt source

The Watching domain now syncs movie and TV episode watch history from Trakt alongside Plex and Letterboxd. Every watch carries a source (plex, letterboxd, trakt, or manual) so you can tell where it came from. See Watching domain.

MCP server: tool titles and output schemas

MCP tools are now clearer to read in the client and to consume programmatically.

• Display titles — every tool, resource, and prompt shows a readable name in Claude Desktop and iOS, like "Now playing" or "Recent runs", instead of a raw identifier like get_now_playing.
• Output schemas — schema-aware clients can render labeled fields from a tool's structured response; every tool now declares an outputSchema.
• get_on_this_day fix — calling get_on_this_day with no arguments returned an error; it now defaults to today.

Reading domain: full Instapaper archive

Reading endpoints now serve your full Instapaper archive instead of the live API's recent slice. Older articles are searchable and retrievable via get_article.

• GET /v1/reading/articles and GET /v1/reading/recent accept include_no_body=1 to include rows that exist but couldn't be body-extracted (paywalled sources). Default hides them.
• Single-article responses include a body_unavailable flag for those placeholder rows so cards can render "read on source" instead of empty content.

Single-entity cards

Three interactive cards for MCP Apps clients (Claude Desktop + iOS) that render alongside Claude's text answer when you ask about one specific article, artist, or athlete.

• Article card — get_article — hero image, title, byline, read time, top highlights, link out to source.
• Artist card — get_artist_details — portrait, bio, total plays, all-time rank, yearly sparkline, top 5 tracks, top 3 albums, and similar artists scoped to your own scrobble history.
• Athlete card — get_attended_player — headshot, team logo, position, current-season stats, your-attended summary across every game you've seen them play, recent appearances. MLB-only for live stats; other leagues surface appearance history.

Listening

• Per-artist top tracks — GET /v1/listening/top/tracks accepts artist_id or artist_name to scope to a single artist. Combine with period for "what Olivia Rodrigo songs have I been listening to lately".
• Extended artist detail — GET /v1/listening/artists/{id} now carries bio, last-played timestamp, all-time rank, distinct tracks/albums counts, similar artists, and a yearly sparkline.

Team logos and colors on attending responses

Team metadata now ships inline on every attending endpoint that mentions a team — no follow-up call to render a logo or tint a card.

• New teams reference table seeded from MLB Stats API (roster, division, home venue) and ESPN (brand colors). 30 MLB teams to start; NFL, NBA, MLS, and NCAA can be added on the same shape.
• event_data.home_team and event_data.away_team on GET /v1/attending/events and GET /v1/attending/events/{id} now return a full team object with logo_url, logo_dark_url, logo_light_url, primary_color, secondary_color, ui_tint_color, conference, and division.
• primary_team on GET /v1/attending/players and GET /v1/attending/players/{id} replaces the old primary_team_id field with the full team shape.
• Per-game player appearances expose a team object instead of team_id, reflecting the in-game team — handles mid-season trades correctly without conflating with the player's current primary team.
• Logos hot-link from mlbstatic.com SVG with on-light and on-dark cap variants; <picture> + prefers-color-scheme picks the right one in both Claude Desktop and iOS hosts.

Attending domain

New fifth domain for live events — sports games, concerts, theater. 193 events backfilled from Google Calendar and Gmail across 2016–2026.

• GET /v1/attending/events — list attended events with filters for category (sports / music / arts), event_type, season, year, venue_id, and attended (separates "I went" from "I bought tickets but didn't go").
• GET /v1/attending/events/{id} — single event with venue, multiple ticket rows, and league-specific event_data (scores, winning pitcher, my_team_won).
• GET /v1/attending/seasons/{league}/{season} — attended games in a sports season with W/L record. Counts only games you actually attended, not the team's full record.
• GET /v1/attending/venues — venue catalog with city, capacity, and lat/long.
• GET /v1/attending/stats — counts by category, event_type, and year.
• Seven Gmail parsers — Ticketmaster, SeatGeek, Ticket Club, AXS, StubHub, VividSeats, and Eventbrite. Universal schema.org/EventReservation JSON-LD parser as a fallback.
• Sports enrichment via MLB Stats API (baseball) and ESPN (NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLS, NCAAF, NCAAB) attaches scores and outcomes to past games.
• Cross-domain link — concert performers can carry a lastfm_artist_id so a single artist row drives both your scrobble history and your concert attendance.
• Daily incremental sync at 4:00 AM Pacific. See Attending domain.

MCP server

Interactive card UIs for reading and music, plus inline clickable links across list tools.

• Article list UI for get_recent_reads via MCP Apps — titles, authors, domains, read time, excerpts, and thumbnails.
• Cover grid for get_top_albums and portrait grid for get_top_artists — both click through to Apple Music (or Last.fm when no match).
• Inline markdown links in search, semantic_search, find_similar_articles, get_recent_reads, get_top_artists, get_top_albums, and get_top_tracks — clickable in every client.
• Author names render correctly when a source article's article:author tag is URL-shaped.
• get_top_artists accepts include_sparklines and forwards the new per-artist play-count series.

Listening

• Sparklines on top artists — pass include_sparklines=true to GET /v1/listening/top/artists to attach a zero-filled play-count series per artist. Supported for 1month, 3month, 6month, and 12month. See Listening domain.
• Album and artist artwork now resolves for ampersand-named artists like Matt & Kim, Simon & Garfunkel, and Hall & Oates.
• Listening image placeholders auto-expire after 7 days, matching reading-domain behavior.

Search

• GET /v1/search results now include image URLs and thumbhashes for listening, watching, collecting, and reading hits. The field was previously always null in keyword mode.
