npx @buildinternet/releases get val-townRecently shipped Val Town Access, one-click restricted access for internal tools, and AGENTS.md support across vals, users, and orgs.
Val Town Access locks a val down to your team. Restrict any val to your team, a handful of people, or an email domain — no source changes, existing vals and URLs keep working, and Val Town handles sessions and identity. Agents can flip the switch too.
Agent instructions now follow your code.
- An
AGENTS.mdinside a val is read automatically whenever Townie opens that val. - Standing personal preferences live in a
.configval, editable atval.town/settings/preferences. - Orgs share instructions the same way, under Settings > Preferences.
- The MCP server surfaces all of it to any agent, not just Townie.
Docs and discovery were rebuilt on the platform itself.
- docs.val.town is now written and hosted on Val Town, replacing the Astro+Cloudflare site.
- A new
/discoverpage collects templates, staff picks, and integrations. - Townie's default model is now DeepSeek V4 Flash, roughly 100x cheaper than Opus.
MCP remains the front door. Every val homepage shows a copyable command for loading the MCP server into Claude Code, and the first-party plugin bundles MCP and platform Skills into a single npx plugins add val-town/plugins install for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. Townie's Slow Mode keeps the agent asking questions at human pace instead of looping.
Older threads. Scoped blob storage isolates blobs per val rather than per account. Auth moved from Supabase to Clerk to Better Auth. SDK releases v3.9.0–v3.13.0 added headers via environment variables and redacted API-key values from debug logs.
