The Big Picture
We’re excited to introduce Fluent 1.6.0 – our greatest and latest update yet. This release persists Fluent's signature smoothness and ease of use while adding one of the most powerful AI technologies up to date: the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
With MCP support finally landing in Fluent, you can now connect to almost 7000 available MCP servers, unlocking thousands of capabilities and use cases for your AI workflows.
So what’s new?
Fluent now supports the Model Context Protocol (Beta), opening the door to a vast ecosystem of tools and data sources. Plug nearly 7000 MCP servers into AI of your choice: from Slack, Gmail, Notion to thousands of websites and apps, databases, dev tools, and more.
9 Built-in Integrations
As part of the MCP update, we've included 9 built-in integrations right out of the box so you can start using powerful context features immediately:
- Finder: Make sense of messy files and find patterns.
- Reminders: Manage your tasks seamlessly.
- Notes: Access and organize your thoughts.
- Calendar: Keep track of your schedule.
- Web Search: Pull live information from the web.
- Browser Automation: Control your browser with AI.
- YouTube: Interact with video content.
- Shell: Execute terminal commands (use with caution!).
- Location: A helper for other MCPs to provide location-aware context.
More than that, built-in integrations support creating custom tools to help AI provide more predictable and consistent results.
Integration settings are now dedicated to built-in and external MCP servers, making management a breeze.
Scheduled Actions
This is where AI & MCP meet together to transform your workflow. Create lightweight bots to scan for your beloved #stonks news, scan your Gmail for priority messages on a constant basis and send those into your messenger.
Context & Settings Improvements
- New Context Settings: Now hold previous core app and browser context features, organized for better clarity.
- New Languages: Added support for new languages in settings and variables.
Visual Polish
UI Improvements
We've polished the UI for buttons and MCP tool badges to look even better.
Note: If you prefer the old look, there is a new option under Smart Panel > Visual Features > Simplified buttons where you can disable this improvement.
Fixes & Stability
We've squashed some bugs to ensure a smoother experience:
- Fixed grammar correction processing for some lower-tier Anthropic models.
- Fixed a bug for some lower-tier Anthropic and Grok models that led to incorrect JSON response extraction.
- Fixed a bug in Apple Intelligence that prevented it from translating to the target language under certain conditions.
- Fixed concurrency issues during rendering.
