Changelog

2026.02-01

smoxy Hub 2026.02-01 is available as of February 25, 2026.

This release includes improvements to DNS verification, rule management, and several bug fixes across the platform.

⭐ New Feature: smoxy MCP Server — AI-Powered Documentation Access

smoxy documentation is now available as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and VS Code Copilot to search and retrieve smoxy documentation directly — without ever leaving your development environment.

Instead of switching between your IDE and the browser to look up configuration options, rule syntax, or API details, you can now simply ask your AI assistant:

• "How do I configure cache tags in smoxy?"

• "What access rule conditions can I use?"

• "How does SSL certificate renewal work in smoxy?"

Your assistant will search the full smoxy documentation and answer based on the latest published content — always up to date, always accurate.

Getting started is simple:

• Claude Desktop / Claude Code: Add the MCP endpoint to your configuration

• Cursor: Add it under MCP Servers in settings

• VS Code: Add it to your settings.json or .vscode/mcp.json

• Any MCP-compatible tool: Use the endpoint https://docs.smoxy.eu/~gitbook/mcp

The MCP server is read-only and provides access to published documentation only — no user data, analytics, or account configuration is exposed.

🔁 Enhancement: Improved DNS Record Verification: The DNS verification for hostnames and Subject Alternative Names (SANs) has been significantly improved. A dedicated service now handles DNS record checks, making status updates for your hostnames and SAN entries more reliable and consistent.

🔁 Enhancement: Punycode Support for DNS Checks: The DNS check that verifies whether a hostname correctly points to smoxy now supports internationalized domain names (IDN) via punycode. This means domains with special characters (e.g. umlauts) are now properly validated.

🔁 Enhancement: Live Expression Preview for Conditions: When editing conditions in rules (e.g. URI Matches), the expression preview now updates in real time as you type. This makes it much easier to verify complex patterns, especially for longer regular expressions where the input field alone doesn't provide a full overview.

🔁 Enhancement: Country Code Input for Access Rules: The country code placeholder in Access Rules now correctly shows uppercase country codes. Additionally, the input field automatically converts your input to uppercase, preventing validation errors caused by lowercase entries.

⚙️ Optimization: Page Rules Navigation Hidden After Migration: Since Page Rules have been deprecated, the navigation entry for Page Rules is now automatically hidden once all Page Rules have been migrated to Conditional Rules.

⚙️ Optimization: Load Balancers Sorted Alphabetically: Load balancers in dropdown menus are now sorted alphabetically, making it easier to find the correct one — especially in accounts with many load balancers.

✅ Bug Fix: Cache TTL Validation for 30-Day Expiry: Fixed an issue where setting a cache expiry of 30 days in rules was not possible due to an outdated validation. You can now correctly define a 30-day TTL.

✅ Bug Fix: Performance Improvement for Large Zones: Resolved a performance issue that prevented users with more than 200 hostnames from creating new zones. Zone creation now works smoothly regardless of the number of hostnames.

✅ Bug Fix: IP List Changes Not Applied to Rules: Fixed a bug where updating an IP list did not propagate the changes to rules referencing that list. Rules now correctly reflect IP list updates and the site configuration is updated accordingly.
