Reveal 58-beta.2

Reveal v58 beta 2 includes command line tools and adds external agent access to Reveal.

Both features are disabled by default during the beta. To try them, open Reveal’s Settings, enable the Model Context Protocol toggle and then configure your coding agent to use Reveal’s MCP.

You may need to consider installing the tools into /usr/local/bin for use in desktop coding agents like Claude Code, as they may not have ~/.local/bin in their PATH. Instructions for doing this are included in Settings under the new “Integration” tab.

Please let us know if this beta improves your workflow, or if you find anything that doesn’t work as well as it should.

Added

  • Added a bundled reveal command line tool that is bundled within the app.
  • Added external agent access through the Model Context Protocol, allowing coding agents to connect to Reveal.
  • Added initial MCP tools for listing inspectable apps (list_apps), capturing .reveal snapshots (snapshot), running Insights audits on saved snapshots (insights), and looking up rule details (describe_rule).

Improved

  • Improved how pattern colors are represented in Reveal, including clearer inspector labels and preservation of pattern color presence in serialized snapshot data.
Requires a full or trial license to use.
