The developer decided on 23 Oct to drop the hand-off to an AI assistant
outside the app, and Claude's connector with it, in v0.19.0, the app and
the server together: build 22 raises minimumAppBuild anyway, so no app
calling the connector's endpoints uses the instance after it. An instance
is to have one way to an assistant, its operator's (ADR 0021, proposed).
The app: the field at the foot of Home, and the button in the Library, on
a studyset and while studying, search the web alone, through the engine
chosen in Settings or Android's own search, with the parts of a card the
person picks; a studyset's name and description are never offered. Gone:
the assistants a question opened in (AiAssistant, AssistantHandOff), the
switch between them and the web, Settings' choice of assistant, Connect
Claude with its route, cubit, repository and gateway, and their texts. A
settings file from before keeps the old keys until the next change of a
setting writes it anew; nothing reads them.
The server: lib/src/assistant/ (MCP, its OAuth, the five tools, connect
codes and tokens), AssistantEndpoint, the daily forgetting of the
connector's secrets (its scheduled call cancelled at start), its lines in
the deletion hook, instance.info().assistantConnectorUrl (nullable, so an
older app reads it as none), and Caddy's forwarding of /mcp, /oauth/* and
/.well-known/oauth-*. The migration drops the connector's five tables,
children first:
DROP TABLE "assistant_token" CASCADE; -- tokens of a connection
DROP TABLE "assistant_grant" CASCADE; -- OAuth codes of a connection
DROP TABLE "assistant_connection" CASCADE; -- a person's connected client
DROP TABLE "assistant_connect_code" CASCADE;
DROP TABLE "assistant_client" CASCADE; -- OAuth clients registered
No other table references them, so CASCADE drops only their own foreign
keys. For the minute between the maintenance run and the switch, the old
server answers the connector with errors and fails to delete an account
(its hook still deletes from these tables); ADR 0022 says so.
BREAKING CHANGE: a connected Claude gets no answer from the deploy on, and
the app no longer opens a question in an AI assistant.

A Claude plan can't drive a chat inside another app, but Claude's apps
(every plan, the phone apps too) can add a remote MCP server as a custom
connector. The instance now is one (ADR 0006): Serverpod's web server
serves the MCP endpoint (/mcp, Streamable HTTP, JSON answers, no
sessions) with five read-only tools over the person's own synced rows
(their studysets, a studyset's cards and notes a page at a time, a
search across cards, a note, their progress), and the OAuth the
specification asks for: protected resource and authorization server
metadata, dynamic client registration, authorization code with PKCE
(S256 only), tokens bound to the resource, iss in the response, refresh
tokens that rotate. Caddy forwards these paths alone to the web server,
which production now runs on 8082.
People connect with a code from the app (Settings › Assistant › Connect
Claude): eight Crockford characters, valid for ten minutes and once,
typed on the authorization page, which names where it returns to, loads
nothing from elsewhere and may not be framed. Anonymous people can
connect too. Codes and tokens are kept only as SHA-256 hashes; an access
token lives an hour, a refresh token 30 days. The app lists what is
connected and disconnects it, which ends its tokens at once; deleting
the account deletes it; a daily job forgets what expired and clients
nobody connected within a week. InstanceInfo says where the connector is
(additive); the migration only adds server-only tables, so devices and
older apps are untouched.
The handlers take plain requests, so the integration tests drive the
whole flow (registration, the code, tokens, refresh, the tools, another
person's content, disconnecting, expiry, pruning, account deletion)
without a web server.
