Collaboration & Version Control

Enable teams to work together seamlessly on MCP flows through built‑in collaboration features and robust version control.

Real‑Time Multi‑User Editing

• Synchronized Canvas: Multiple users can view and edit the same MCP visual flow or manifest in real time. Changes appear instantly for all participants.

• User Cursors & Presence Indicators: Colored cursors and avatars show who is editing which node or block.

• Conflict‑Free Merging: Operational transformation (OT) or CRDT under the hood to resolve concurrent edits without data loss.

Example Workflow

1. User A adds a resource node; user B sees it pop in live.

2. Both drag different tool nodes simultaneously; system merges edits seamlessly.

3. Inline chat bubbles appear next to nodes to coordinate.

Chat‑Style Comments on Blocks

• Inline Annotations: Attach comments directly to nodes, edges, or manifests.

• Threaded Discussions: Resolve comments by marking threads as “resolved” or reopening them for further discussion.

• @Mentions & Notifications: Ping teammates to draw attention to specific blocks or questions.

• Contextual History: View the full comment history for each block alongside the manifest.

UX Considerations

• Comments panel docked on the right, auto‑scrolling to the active node.

• Highlight blocks with unread comments using badges or colored outlines.

Revision History & Rollback

• Automatic Version Snapshots: Capture immutable snapshots on key events (save, deployment, major edit).

• Timeline View: Navigate through past versions on a horizontal timeline, previewing changes between snapshots.

• Diff & Merge: Visual diff highlighting added, removed, or modified nodes and properties.

• One‑Click Rollback: Revert the entire manifest or individual blocks to any prior snapshot.

Best Practices

• Tag important versions (e.g., v1.0, staging-ready) for easy reference.

• Encourage descriptive commit messages or snapshot descriptions.

• Use role‑based access control to protect critical snapshots from unintentional reverts.
