In one hour Gemini ran 63 shell commands next to 23 AMB calls: checking files, cropping and
comparing parts of pictures, running OpenPose itself to see a skeleton, and painting pixels
with OpenCV (it overwrote an output picture six times).
- api/mcp_look.py zoom_image: part of a picture in the output, input or temp folder shown
larger, the same part of a second picture beside it; read only.
- get_image_info reads the temp folder too; run_status lists a run's PreviewImage pictures
(ai_task_runs.outputs_of(record, "temp"), kept as the step's previews, not its results).
- begin_task and the repaint note: AMB's tools cover looking; change pictures only by running
workflows, never by editing picture files with code of one's own.

- model_kind: Anima LLLite, Qwen-Image block-wise and Z-Image Fun ControlNets (and other
ModelPatchLoader files) go to model_patches, not controlnet; import and Tidy follow.
- api/mcp_model_use.py: search_models / get_model say which node types load each model, or
where a misfiled one belongs; move_model moves it there behind a new "files" gate (asks by
default, never overwrites).
- An empty drop-down in add_node says ComfyUI found no file; the task tab switch is no longer
logged as the user's canvas change.
- The folded task list stays while the pointer is in the box around its button and the list.
- The message box's picture button picks gallery pictures; "@" offers the gallery's newest and
searches it as you type.

- Each run keeps its shape read from the prompt ComfyUI queued (ai_run_map.py): boxes by role
with their settings, typed links, plumbing wired through, and what changed since the task's
run before. The run step shows a one-line summary, the changes as chips and the boxes (top
down, fitted to the column, each locating its node); show_run_map puts it on the stage.
- By default the AI works in a tab of the task's own (ai_task_canvas.py, mcp_task_tab.js): the
open workflow is copied before its first change, the tab is brought back (a click on
ComfyUI's tab) before later changes, reads and runs, and the user's tab stays untouched.
Per-task switch in the header, default in the Gates window; the AI is told once.
- Output pictures can be handed to the task an AI is on (gallery card menu, the inspector's
✦), with the user's words: the AI gets them attached with what made them (ai_pictures.py).
search_images(with_pictures) attaches the first six.

- A stop button on a running run (timeline, and beside the run-status button), and stop_run for
the AI: only this run's prompts leave the queue or are interrupted; the step ends "cancelled"
and a user's stop reaches the AI as a "stop" message (ai_run_control.py).
- The run's progress carries ComfyUI's console since it began (the bar's note, models loading),
time left and per step, and VRAM; once queued, each sampler's working size is estimated from
the prompt, with warnings for an upscaled picture sampled again, a size past the card and a
huge decode, for the user and in the AI's run news (ai_run_watch.py, ui_ai_run_live.js).
- The materials picker opens as a side panel that leaves the page usable (the full-screen
browser makes room), expands to the large window and back, and remembers the choice.
- Esc closes the run-status card only (data-anomalous-escape).

report takes reply_to, the id of the user's message or marks it answers:
the two steps point at each other and the timeline links them both ways
("Reply to step 2" / "The AI replied · step 4"). The AI's notes are laid
out (headings, lists, bold, code) by ai_text_format.js with textContent
only. The notice that brings the user's marks and messages, the report
description and the server instructions tell the AI to answer in
Anomalous, and to ask which fix with ask_user.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
ask_user shows a question in the AI workbench (options with an optional
recommended one, and unless other=false a line for an answer of the
user's own; no options: a line) and waits in the same call for the
answer, returning the choice or the text. Choices blocks gain
recommended and other; the step is named ask_user ("Asked you"). The
server instructions, begin_task and the workbench prompt tell the AI to
ask every question this way, never in its own chat.

find_nodes looks up this ComfyUI's node types (inputs, outputs, choices)
from its own /object_info. new_workflow opens a new tab, blank or built and
laid out from a workflow in API form, never touching the open one;
add_node, connect_nodes, set_values and remove_nodes edit it. Everything is
checked against the nodes before the canvas changes (types, loops, settings,
choices with close matches); each is one Ctrl+Z step, logged as the AI's
and shown under its workbench step. Receipts now show rewiring ("wired":
what feeds an input, before and after). A run ComfyUI refuses reports
ComfyUI's own reason instead of "Prompt execution failed".

The bar under a run shows a percent like ComfyUI's tab title (the running
node's steps, else the nodes done). While a run goes, every other tool answer
carries your_run with one sentence on where it stands, and the next answer
after it ends says so once (run_status telling it counts), so the AI need not
look in the output folder or at the screen.

- api/mcp_apps.py + api/mcp_app/task_card.html (MCP Apps, io.modelcontextprotocol/ui): apps that
support it (Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code…) show Anomalous's own card under begin_task, show_panel,
report and run_workflow results: the task's steps, latest thumbnails (inline), the AI's open
questions answered with a click (app_answer, plus a chat message so the AI goes on). The card
reads through app_task_view; both tools are for the card only (visibility "app"), are never
steps and never take the user's news. The card never answers a gate: an OK is only given in
Anomalous, so no tool an AI can reach grants one.
- api/mcp_prompts.py: prompts/list and prompts/get, four ready-made requests (slash commands):
workbench_task, pick_best, fix_missing_models, explain_canvas.

- api/ai_gates.py: changing the canvas, using the GPU, downloading and scanning online can each
go ahead, ask first or never (downloads ask by default; anomalous/ai_gates.json). A call that
asks waits on its step (state "asking", what it would do listed) up to 50 s for Allow or No
(with the user's reason for the AI); unanswered, the AI is told to wait and call again, the
later answer reaches it as a message, and the same call after an Allow goes ahead.
- ui_ai_gate.js: the card under a waiting step and the Gates window; a toast while elsewhere.
- ui_ai_flow.js + ai_task_view.flowStages: the task's stages in order, each done, running,
waiting or failed; a stage leads to its first step.

- api/action_catalog.py: every MCP tool's kind, stage of the work and gate in one place (a test
keeps it and the tools in step); steps now carry their stage.
- api/ai_task_changes.py: changes the user makes in Anomalous while an AI works become steps of
its task, reach the AI once with its next call (kind "change": keep it), and the activity
entry names the task; the activity page links to it ("AI task ->").
- api/ai_task_runs.py: run watching moved out of ai_tasks.py (600-line rule); a step a restart
left "running" is marked stopped when the record is read again.
- Pictures: inspector / compare with canvas / keep as tools on hover instead of three buttons
under every picture; tick any two (any step or task) and compare from the bar at the foot of
the page; the results strip shows thumbnails again.

A box under a task's timeline sends the user's message (POST
/anomalous/ai_tasks/{id}/message), kept as a 'user' step; get_answers now
also brings the user's messages and, with no panel named, waits for one.
The step says whether the AI has seen it; when the task has ended the box
says to ask in the AI app. The task list is grouped by day with an icon
for where each task stands.

A new rail page keeps each MCP call as a step of a task (api/ai_tasks.py,
one file per task in the user folder, the newest 300): named by the AI
with the new begin_task tool, else one app's calls without a long pause.
A step keeps what it did and what it made (models, the combo, the canvas
change by its activity entry, the pictures a run made, watched in the
history until it ends, spoken audio, scans); the new report tool leaves
the AI's notes and pictures it made another way. The page shows the tasks
and one task's results strip and timeline with links (picture viewer,
model page, combo, find or undo on the canvas, audio), updates live, and
gives the rail a dot while you are elsewhere; Home lists the last tasks.

MCP now uses local_guard.is_local (one local check). A backup upload
request that is no upload answers 400 instead of 500. tests/test_local_guard.py.

The second batch of MCP tools: they change things, through the same code the UI uses.
- Canvas, done by the open ComfyUI page: describe_canvas, set_prompt, set_model,
add_lora, place_combo, check_workflow_models, fix_workflow_models, run_workflow,
open_in_anomalous. api/mcp_bridge.py sends the action over ComfyUI's websocket and
waits; web/modules/mcp_bridge.js claims it (visible tab first), does it with
Anomalous's canvas code and answers. Each change is one Ctrl+Z step, shows a toast and
is logged as the AI's (activity entries carry via: "mcp", with their undo).
- This server: scan_models (new / look up again / picked models, via /anomalous/scan_all),
list_voices and speak (Anomalous TTS through /prompt and /history).
- graph_splice.js takes the chain's slot types, so a LoRA can go into a model-only (UNet,
Flux) chain as LoraLoaderModelOnly; the default (MODEL and CLIP) is unchanged.
- Nothing deletes or renames files; acting tools are not marked read-only, so AI apps
ask before calling them.

An MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP) inside ComfyUI's server, so Claude, Cursor, Cherry
Studio and other MCP apps can ask about the user's library without anything extra
installed and without memory or VRAM while nobody is connected.
- api/mcp_server.py: one JSON-RPC message per POST, answered with JSON. Serves the
2026-07-28 stateless protocol (headers must match the body) and the earlier
initialize-based versions; no sessions. This computer only: loopback peer, no proxy
headers, loopback Host and Origin (DNS rebinding).
- api/mcp_tools.py: 11 read-only tools: library overview, model search and details
(optional cover), scan status, output-image search and generation settings
(optional thumbnail), combos, workflow recipes, saved prompts, generated audio,
activity log. Ids resolve inside their roots; tool failures come back as isError.
- docs/guides/mcp.md: setup for each app, what can be asked, privacy note.
