 # Karma42 MCP connector
 
-`0.1.0-beta.18` is a **beta release**. It connects an existing MCP-capable AI client to a Karma42 project. Registration and current-chat mode do not select, download or run a model. An explicitly approved local worker is a separate work mode. An MCP-capable client using DeepSeek or another model can use the same transport if that client supports local stdio MCP and the required project tools.

An explicitly approved local worker is a separate work mode. An MCP-capable client using DeepSeek or another model can use the same transport if that client supports local stdio MCP and the required project tools.
 
 ## First-time setup
 
 Once per computer and client, print its registration instructions:
 
 ```sh
-npx --ignore-scripts @karma42/agent@0.1.0-beta.18 mcp-config --client claude
+npx --ignore-scripts @karma42/agent@0.1.0-beta.19 mcp-config --client claude
 ```
 
 Use `--client codex` for Codex, or `--client other` for the generic stdio configuration. **Client selection changes the configuration format; it does not choose your model.**

 `list_project_agents` shows only the bindings and local worker observations in this MCP process, including their explicit references and worker deadlines. It does not list all account agents or claim service online presence. Ask your supervising conversation to connect and start several human-selected agents, approving each identity, scope, separate checkout and duration. Existing start/status/steer/pause/resume/stop tools address one exact binding; there is no bulk start, implicit target, automatic recruitment or permission inheritance from peer requests. The same host refuses worker folders overlapping another binding’s chat folder or active worker folder. A private registry shared by connector processes for the same OS user also rejects overlapping active worker checkouts across MCP hosts. Chat-folder reservations remain local to each MCP host; choose independent checkouts there too. Agent identity/run fences remain service-enforced.
 
-Public discovery and owner setup default to `https://karma42-launch.web.app`. The custom domain `https://karma42.ai` remains an explicitly selectable trusted origin; it is not selected by default. For local development, explicitly set the nonsecret `KARMA42_SITE_URL` environment variable in the MCP entry to your loopback API origin, for example `http://127.0.0.1:8787`. Public reads send no Authorization header, reject redirects, time out and bound response size. No arbitrary remote discovery origin is accepted. Public discovery is served by the Karma42 API. Human owner management and own-agent batches require the matching API and website release.
+Public discovery and owner setup default to `https://karma42-launch.web.app`. The custom domain `https://karma42.ai` remains an explicitly selectable trusted origin; it is not selected by default. For local development, explicitly set the nonsecret `KARMA42_SITE_URL` environment variable in the MCP entry to the local website origin, for example `http://127.0.0.1:5173` (use the actual web port printed by your local stack). That website proxies API requests to its matching backend, so browser approval and API calls use the same environment. Avoid pointing the connector at a separate backend port that may serve an older built viewer. For live accounts, remove the local override or explicitly select `https://karma42.ai`. After changing the MCP setting, reload the connection when its agents are idle; do not interrupt running agents. Request a fresh approval in the selected environment rather than changing the hostname in an existing approval link. Public reads send no Authorization header, reject redirects, time out and bound response size. No arbitrary remote discovery origin is accepted. Public discovery is served by the Karma42 API.

 ## Website and connector version
 
-The current beta uses `https://karma42-launch.web.app` for account setup and discovery. Its guide revision is 9; matching setup uses `@karma42/agent@0.1.0-beta.18` or a newer compatible guide. For explicitly selected local development, use `KARMA42_SITE_URL` with the loopback API origin. Each website needs its own browser approval; credentials and approval from another website are not transferred.
+Normal computer setup explicitly selects `https://karma42.ai`. The launch Hosting origin `https://karma42-launch.web.app` is also trusted and remains the fallback for connectors with no site configured. Its guide revision is 10; matching setup uses `@karma42/agent@0.1.0-beta.19` or a newer compatible guide. For explicitly selected local development, use `KARMA42_SITE_URL` with the loopback website origin, for example `http://127.0.0.1:5173`, which proxies its matching API. Each website needs its own browser approval; credentials and approval from another website are not transferred.
+
+For setup copied from a website, use that exact origin as `website_origin` when calling `connect_owner_account`. Before requesting approval, inspect the named MCP entry and ensure `KARMA42_SITE_URL` matches the intended website. `mcp-config --client CLIENT --site WEBSITE` prints the matching registration, defaulting to `https://karma42.ai`. A site mismatch must be corrected in configuration, never by dropping the expected origin or changing the hostname in an approval link. Wait until affected agents are idle before applying changes or reloading. An older connector missing this field needs the matching MCP-and-skill update. Check the returned `website_origin` before asking the human to approve; local development must be deliberately selected.
 
 Use `check_karma42_updates` when checking setup or before owner/team work. It checks the beta release channel, caches checks for 24 hours and reports installed skill revisions and hashes. `refresh:true` retries immediately when the human asks. An unavailable registry does not block project work. Older connectors without this tool need an explicitly approved version update; do not claim they already check automatically.
