## Chat - Still in preview [#1413](https://github.com/superset-sh/superset/pull/1413)

Chat got a major upgrade this week. Streaming responses now support interactive tool-approval flows, so you can review and approve each tool call as it happens. A new multi-provider model picker lets you choose between providers and models. Agent and tool calls render as expandable UI blocks with tool-specific displays, and a new web search tool lets Claude fetch and reference live content.

We also shipped a series of fixes to MCP connectivity — replacing the stagnant `mcp-handler` library with a direct SDK transport [#1518](https://github.com/superset-sh/superset/pull/1518), fixing OAuth connections through the reverse proxy [#1512](https://github.com/superset-sh/superset/pull/1512), and resolving SDK version conflicts that caused session failures [#1515](https://github.com/superset-sh/superset/pull/1515) [#1516](https://github.com/superset-sh/superset/pull/1516).

## Desktop Automation Tools [#1481](https://github.com/superset-sh/superset/pull/1481)
