Issues with MCP Servers
Hi Daniel, I wanted to report a few issues with MCP servers that I noticed. Authentication seems to be required much more often than with other clients. I can especially compare it with Raycast AI Chat. In Raycast, I never had to log in again to reauthenticate their HTTP MCP. For BoltAI, it is necessary quite regularly. For Notion, it is extreme. You have to log in again after 30 minutes or one hour. It seems like only the access token from the JWT is being used, and once it expires, the refresh token is not used to obtain a new one. For some MCP servers, the authentication workflow doesn’t work at all. One newer example I noticed is TickTick. https://help.ticktick.com/articles/7438129581631995904 It should work, but you simply get an authentication error after logging in and allowing the connection in the browser. Maybe that’s related to the fact that you can’t add URL-only MCPs like TickTick’s in Notion. You have to add at least one slash after the domain so the Add button becomes active and clickable.

Support GPT-5.4 via Codex CLI
Currently, Codex CLI only shows 5.2 and 5.3 Models. It would be great to update it for 5.4 Usage.

Request: In-line branching between multiple models
See Cherry Studio for an example of how this works really well Msty does a decent job of this as well. Only being able to branch into a separate chat thread is klutzy.

Non-functional models and unwanted encryption
BoltAI models are marked as unsupported. In addition, without setting a password, it encrypted my API keys and I cannot access the chat.

Critical performance issues with Gemini 3.1: Response times up to 10 minutes
i everyone, I’m experiencing significant latency issues when using Gemini 3.1 within Bolt. Even for very basic queries or simple code adjustments, the model takes an incredibly long time to generate a response—sometimes up to 10 minutes for a single output. This happens consistently, making the development workflow nearly impossible. Is this a known API bottleneck, or are there specific settings I should check to improve the response speed? Any help or insights from the team would be greatly appreciated.

Save current chat settings to a new agent
Currently you can adjust settings, like model and tools, during a chat session, but there doesn’t appear to be a way to then save to a new agent.

Hard line breaks inserted into API response text - persists through all copy/export methods
My OS version: macOS 26.3 (25D125) My BoltAI app version: BoltAI 2 v2.8.1 Are you a Setapp user: No AI provider & model: Anthropic — Claude Sonnet 4.6 Steps to reproduce the issue: Start a chat and request a multi-paragraph response Observe that the displayed output contains line breaks mid-sentence or mid-paragraph, appearing to align with the display width rather than paragraph boundaries Try each of the following copy/export methods — the line breaks persist in all cases: Copy icon for the entire chat Copy icon for a Markdown artifact Manual text selection and copy File > Export as Markdown Error message: No error message is displayed. The issue is that hard line breaks are being baked into the response text rather than reflecting the actual API output. Because the breaks survive export to a Markdown file, this rules out a display/rendering issue.

Can't reach chat list button on iPadOS
Under certain circumstances iPadOS’ window controls interfere with the chat list button in the top left corner. Therefore you can’t access the list of chats. The example shows slide over but it happens in all narrow window dimensions.

Make Bolt AI an AI app, not a human app
The thing about generative AI is its potential for its power to compound. Right now, Bolt AI is an app from the era when humans did things. In this case, manipulating AI. So, yes, great, I can go through a complex back and forth with Claude to generate an ideal prompt. Then I manually save it off as an agent or workflow. Repeat 10x. Then there’ll be lots of learnings from lots of chats that come from those system prompts. So I need to update the prompt in three months, and again, and again. And I’ll need to continually curate the model list with new models. Lots of human work, actually. So: make Bolt able to configure every element of itself. The AI coding apps in VS Code already do this. You don’t create a new Mode in Roo Code manually, it does it for you. In Bolt, this could mean: - AI agents being able to update agents, workflows and other settings in Bolt. - AI agents in Bolt being able to manipulate data/settings outside the app. - Data in Bolt being programmatically accessible to be seem/manipulated by other AIs. That could mean: - AI agents updating agents/workflows based on conversation history and user feedback. - AI agents automatically curating and updating model lists based on preset criteria. - AI agents automatically organizing chats into projects, etc, based on preset criteria.

Feature request: audio as input for workflows
Thank you so much for v2, there’s so many great features (instant chat, Parakeet) and so many little requests implemented. Much appreciated. IMO the killer feature: transcribed audio from Parakeet/Whisper as an input for workflows. There are so many uses: creating emails, memos and so much else could be done seamlessly and instantly with a single keyboard shortcut and your own voice. I know you don’t want to build a whole chaining app, but please consider one application.

Feature request: Config font size in the left sidebar
The manual config of the AI-written chat titles is a great little feature to have to curate the left sidebar. One further request: being able to adjust the font size of chat titles (and folder names) in the left side bar to be able to make them smaller, as was possible in v1.

Feature request: Set default agent for projects
Now we have the agent structure, we should be able to set a default agent for a project. The project would then automatically inherit the system prompt, parameters and so on from the agent. It could also be still possible to add project-level config such as files. At the moment, you have to either manually set the agent each chat within the project, or copy and paste the system message and so on from the agent to the project config.

Bug: Agent LLM Parameters not always passed through to chat
Your OS version: Sequoia 15.5 Your BoltAI app version. 2.8.0 (build 55) Are you a Setapp user. No. The AI provider & model you’re using. Google Gemini 3.0 Flash Preview on Google Vertex via OpenRouter. Steps to reproduce the issue. Create an agent and in the agent settings specify Google Gemini 3.0 Flash Preview as the model and set Thinking tokens budget to be non-zero. Create a new chat, set the new agent as the active profile then check the LLM Parameters section in the right sidebar. The thinking budget has not been applied. The error message. No error message.

No Working Directory Config = DEALBREAKER
When using Claude Code as an AI provider, please add an option to specify a working directory for the API connection. Claude Code uses project-level config files (CLAUDE.md) to define personas, operating principles, and tool configurations — these only load when Claude is invoked from the correct directory. Without this, BoltAI's Claude Code integration always returns a generic assistant with no project context, making it unsuitable as a primary interface for project-based AI workflows. Suggested: a 'Working Directory' field in the Claude Code provider settings. Behavioural config customisation is non-optional these days. Why is this not baked in to BoltAI already?

Improve vertical alignment in sidebar folder hierarchy
The current sidebar navigation has a visual alignment issue where nested files are indented too far to the left relative to their parent folders. As shown by the red boxes and arrows in the image above, the child items seem to align with the folder's expand/collapse icon instead of the folder name. This lack of indentation breaks the vertical scanning line, making the hierarchy look cluttered and difficult to read quickly. The items should be shifted right to align flush with the parent folder names, along the path indicated by the green line.

Bug with Gemini CLI
First of all, I want to thank you for integrating Claude Code and the Gemini CLI into Bolt AI. This helps me immensely because I have a Pro subscription, so now I don't need to spend extra API credits. This is truly awesome! That said, I’ve run into a bug. For some reason, the Gemini CLI within Bolt gets the current date wrong, whereas it works perfectly fine in my terminal. This leads to grounding issues, particularly when the model needs to search the internet. It seems like the local environment context isn't being passed through correctly. Perhaps you need to explicitly set an environment variable or inject the date context in your implementation? I’m attaching side-by-side screenshots of the same question asked in Bolt AI and my terminal to show the difference. See here: https://share.cleanshot.com/kjVdFLtn
