What's new in DumpCat 1.7.0

AI assistants can set backups up: MCP tools that add and change database servers, storages, jobs and restore drills, for API tokens with the new Manage access. Passwords, keys and passphrases still never go through MCP.

AI assistants (MCP)

  • A third kind of API token, Manage: full access, and over MCP an assistant can also set up and change backups. Read-only and full-access tokens keep doing what they did: an assistant given a full-access token still cannot change the configuration. Over the REST API, Manage is the same as full access.
  • New tools for Manage tokens: create_server, update_server, create_storage, update_storage, create_job, update_job, create_drill and update_drill. A new job or drill starts from the web UI form's defaults, and a change touches only the settings it names (update_job with enabled: false pauses a job).
  • Secrets never go through MCP: no tool takes a database password, storage key, OAuth token or encryption passphrase, and pre/post commands and extra tool arguments stay in the web UI. A tool that leaves a secret unset answers with finish_url, the page where the user enters it (the server and storage pages open their form with ?edit=<id>); a job asked to be encrypted is created paused until its passphrase is set there. Moving a server or storage with a saved secret to another host or endpoint still needs the secret again, in the web UI.
  • New tools: list_storages, get_storage, list_storage_types and preview_schedule for every token, and test_storage for full-access tokens.
  • Deleting, restoring and DumpCat's settings remain out of MCP.
  • The API & MCP page offers Manage when creating a token and groups the tools by the access they need.
