Fluent 1.8.4

April 21, 2026

This update improves MCP reliability across Calendar, Browser and YouTube, adds new Calendar event fields support, and introduces a new Finder batch move tool.

Features

Improvements

  • Calendar MCP: richer event creation. Added support for URL, repeat interval, all-day events, custom alerts, and location (including precise geo-location).

  • Browser MCP. Improved open_url responsiveness and correctly handle terminated browser instances.
  • YouTube MCP. Updated transcript extraction for YouTube’s new DOM and improved transcript/description extraction reliability (now language-agnostic and does not require explicit browser context).

Compatibility

  • Requires macOS 14.2 or later.
