Runchat Updates: June 11, 2026

🛜 MCP SERVER

• Runchat now hosts an MCP server so that you can interact with workflows from Claude or Codex
• This means you can use your Claude subscription (and new Fable model) to create workflows, edit prompts and write and run python scripts
• One of the most powerful uses of the mcp server will be building out workflows to run as tasks on https://runchat.com/dashboard/tasks
• To connect, follow the guide on https://docs.runchat.com/concepts/integrations/mcp

❔ AGENT QUESTIONS

• The chat agent now has a simple UI for asking you questions when it needs to
• This is great for quickly selecting options or upgrading models
• The agent will prompt you to pick a better model if it's struggling with your current task

🐇 RUNCHAT FAST AGENT IN THE FREE MODELS

• We've added a new Runchat Agent Fast model that is a 10x faster version of the Runchat Agent Pro model
• This makes it practically instant for writing scripts or editing grasshopper definitions
• It's also really fast at iteration - if it makes a mistake it can fix it faster.
• We've included it in free usage, though it will use it 3x faster than the pro model

🌐 SIMPLER FAL AND OPENROUTER UI

• It's now a bit easier to add custom models from fal or openrouter
• We just open a tab so you can browse Fal.ai or openrouter.ai directly and compare models, see costs, check examples and so on
• Paste in the url to install a model

🖼️ BETTER MULTIMODAL SUPPORT

• Some models can't take image inputs - we now route these to a light weight multimodal model to get descriptions of images so you can use them in more workflows
• Agents can now view or inspect SVG images in chat
• Image processing with the Runchat Agent models should be more reliable

Lots more coming soon, we're still working on those improvements to examples...
