AI Summary
This patch fixes the broken MCP server startup and resolves VNC port binding issues in the container.
Key Highlights
- Bundled MCP server starts again with the inclusion of `mcp/package.json`.
- Native VNC now requires explicit binding settings (`VNC_RFB_BIND`) and password for non-loopback access.
- Camoufox binary pinned to version 152.0.4-beta.30 to ensure startup compatibility.
New Features
- MCP server restoration
- VNC configuration improvements
- Dependency pinning for stability
Full Release Notes
## v1.18.1 A small patch for two broken paths: - **Bundled MCP server starts again.** The root npm package now includes the `mcp/package.json` that its `camofox-browser-mcp` command reads at startup. Fixes [#12323](https://github.com/jo-inc/camofox-browser/issues/12323). The standalone MCP package is also published at 1.18.1. - **Container VNC without a surprise exposed port.** `VNC_BIND` still controls noVNC only. Native VNC stays on loopback unless you explicitly set `VNC_RFB_BIND`; a non-loopback native bind requires `VNC_PASSWORD`. Container setup and the passwordless noVNC warning are documented. Fixes [#12372](https://github.com/jo-inc/camofox-browser/issues/12372) via [#12468](https://github.com/jo-inc/camofox-browser/pull/12468). Thanks to [@mmbeanz](https://github.com/mmbeanz) for the reproduction and investigation in [#12374](https://github.com/jo-inc/camofox-browser/pull/12374). The bundled npm browser download is pinned to Camoufox `152.0.4-beta.30`: a newer upstream binary introduced a startup incompatibility with the pinned `camoufox-js`. Both the automatic install and `npm run fetch-bin` now select the tested release. Root and standalone MCP dependency pins include the patched `hono` version. The root package was packed and installed into a clean directory, and its MCP handshake passed. Linux and Windows browser E2E, unit tests, the ClawHub dry run, and post-merge CI passed. The VNC behavior was also tested in a live ARM64 container. This release does not include the separate native-credential prototype.
