PapermarkDocs

Changelog

Release notes for the API, CLI, and MCP server.

Hand-curated, one section per package. Releases follow Changesets on each repo; this page surfaces the human-readable summary.

The CONTRACT version for the CLI's machine-readable output is covered separately on Output contract. A new CLI minor version doesn't mean a new contract version — those are deliberately decoupled.

REST API

2026-04-30 — api.papermark.com scoped to /v1

The api.papermark.com host now serves only the public /v1 surface. Every other path returns 404 (including /api/*, /oauth/*, and /.well-known/*); the root / redirects to the docs. OAuth, OIDC discovery, and the MCP HTTP transport were never intended to live on the API host — but the broad rewrite that mapped api.papermark.com/* to the app meant they incidentally worked. This change locks the host down to its public contract.

If you discover OAuth via OIDC, nothing changes — the CLI does this automatically and third-party clients should too. If you hard-coded https://api.papermark.com/oauth/... URLs, switch to the canonical issuer (see Authentication).

2026-04-29 — Upload contract: upload_id

POST /v1/documents/upload-url now returns an opaque one-time upload_id instead of upload_key + storage_type, and POST /v1/documents accepts upload_id in place of source_key. The two-step upload flow is unchanged; only the field names. Several response payloads also moved from camelCase to snake_case (contentTypecontent_type, numPagesnum_pages) to match the rest of the API.

2026-04-29 — Supported file types widened

Added MIME support for .tif/.tiff, .ecw, .bak, and .eml, plus the .err / .prj / .jgw extensions under text/plain. A new "other" value joins the document simple-type enum. Affects POST /v1/documents/upload-url (the accepted content_type set widened) and the upload tooling in the CLI and MCP server.

v1.0 — initial public release

  • 25 endpoints across documents, links, datarooms, visitors, analytics
  • OAuth 2.1 device flow + dashboard tokens (pm_live_…)
  • Per-token rate limits (60 RPM default), X-RateLimit-* headers on every response
  • Structured error envelope with code / message / doc_url

The API is versioned in the URL path (/v1/). Breaking changes go to /v2/; existing clients keep working until announced deprecation. No deprecations on the table today.

CLI — papermark on npm

0.1.0 — first public alpha

  • 7 command groups, 25 commands total: login, logout, whoami, auth export, auth set, doctor, documents (5), datarooms (8: list, get, create, update, links, viewers, stats, documents), links (4), views (1), config (3)
  • OAuth 2.1 device flow + token paste
  • Three-place credential resolution (PAPERMARK_TOKENPAPERMARK_CREDENTIALS_FILE → config file)
  • Output contract v1: stable JSON envelopes, exit code mapping, retryable semantics
  • Skill manifest (SKILL.md) and OpenAI App manifest (openai.yaml) shipped in the tarball for auto-discovery

The 0.1.0 version means "expect minor breaking changes between versions while we're in alpha." The output contract is stable and versioned independently.

MCP server — @papermark/mcp-server on npm

2026-04-30 — upload_document follows the new upload contract

Mirrors the API change: the UploadUrlResponse shape now exposes upload_id instead of upload_key + storage_type, and the upload_document tool's file_path branch passes that opaque id to POST /v1/documents. Behavioral semantics are unchanged — same single-call upload-and-create flow.

0.1.0 — first public alpha

  • 18 tools across documents (4), links (3), datarooms (5), visitors (2), analytics (4)
  • Stdio transport (run via npx @papermark/mcp-server)
  • Auth via PAPERMARK_TOKEN env (same token as the API and CLI)
  • Real API calls — no mocks or stubs

Hosted HTTP transport — mcp.papermark.com

  • Same 18-tool surface (minus upload_document, which requires filesystem access)
  • OAuth 2.1 device flow with WWW-Authenticate discovery
  • Streamable HTTP, JSON response mode, stateless
  • Production endpoint live at https://mcp.papermark.com

The HTTP variant ships as part of the main Papermark app at /api/mcp, so self-hosters get it automatically.

How to track upcoming releases

All three repos use Changesets, so the release notes for any version are committed alongside the code that ships it.
