Laravel/ai shipped a critical fix for Anthropic file attachments that were failing on media type alone, while OpenRouter gained web fetch support and Boost plugged a config hole that breaks MCP initialization.

The Anthropic gateway was sending CSV and Markdown files with their correct MIME types to a document source that only accepts `text/plain`, causing API rejections before the model touched the content [1]. That's fixed now [2]. On the same desk, OpenRouter's `openrouter:web_fetch` server tool is now mapped and reachable, matching what Anthropic and Gemini already support [3] [4]. Over in Boost, a blank `BOOST_PHP_EXECUTABLE_PATH=` in `.env` was treated as a valid path instead of unset, causing `boost:install` to write malformed `.mcp.json` and break every artisan invocation in the generated Claude config [5] [6]. The OpenAI-compatible gateway also now strips markdown code fences from structured output, since local backends like vLLM and llama.cpp often wrap JSON without honoring the schema format spec [7]. MCP itself gained OAuth challenge exposure for authenticated routes [8] [9], and v0.9.4 shipped with searchable tool catalogs [10]. Boost documentation also corrected its retry example to include an idempotency key, preventing double-charges when Stripe connection errors occur [11] [12].
