Give every builder the right access, the right tools, and a full audit trail without credential chaos. Learn more in our blog post.

Collaborate inside workspaces with Shared Workspaces

Getting another person into a running workspace used to mean credential sharing or building custom tooling. Now workspace owners can grant access to specific users, groups, or organizations. Available in Coder open source.

• Auditable access: Administrators can see who accessed a shared workspace and when.
• Credentials are protected: A shared workspace authenticates to external systems as the service account, not as an individual person.
• Easy authentication: Users leverage their own Coder credentials and get full access to the same files, tools, services, and running processes

Service Accounts GA

Service Accounts let teams own environments under a non-human identity. Common use cases include on-call troubleshooting, QA and preview environments, scale testing, and shared ML training boxes. Available in Coder Premium.

• Safer access: Any engineer on rotation can jump into a pre-configured workspace immediately without sharing credentials or waiting for the owner to come online.
• Persistent team environments: Service-account-owned workspaces survive employee departures and team changes, keeping environment state and data intact.
• Policy controls are built in: Restrict sharing to service-account-owned workspaces only to block peer-to-peer sharing, which carries more risk in compliance-sensitive deployments.

Learn more in our documentation.

Coder AI Governance Naming Update

We’ve renamed two features to make them clearer and more intuitive: AI Bridge is now AI Gateway, and Agent Boundaries is now Agent Firewall. There are no changes to functionality. Both capabilities remain part of the Coder AI Governance solution, with documentation updates in progress.

Usage controls, session tracking, and BYOK support in the Coder AI Governance Add-On

Release 2.32 adds additional enterprise-grade controls and observability over AI usage.

• Controlled rollout: Control AI access by user and enforce per-user agent workspace build quotas to prevent a single user from exhausting shared deployment capacity. Learn more here.

• Bring your own key (BYOK): Developers can bring their own LLM provider keys without bypassing governance, maintaining authentication, policy enforcement, and full observability of all requests. Learn more here.
• End-to-end visibility: Understand how and why AI actions occur by correlating interactions into sessions when available, linking prompts, reasoning, and tool invocations into a causal chain. Learn more here.

Breaking Changes

• #23031: Injected MCP tools are now deprecated in AI Gateway; this feature will remain functional but will be replaced with an MCP Gateway in a future release.
• #23320: Regular users without auditor or admin roles can no longer view AI Bridge Interceptions.

What's New in 2.31

This release makes it easier for engineering teams to adopt autonomous workflows without breaking developer flow or giving up the governance controls enterprises require.

VS Code + Coder Tasks Integration Now Generally Available

Developers live inside their IDE. Every context switch to a browser tab to trigger a workflow, check logs, or monitor an agent breaks that flow. Coder Tasks is now built directly into the VS Code extension, so engineers can launch and manage autonomous AI agents without ever leaving their editor.

• Create and launch Tasks from the IDE: Select a workflow template, configure parameters, write a prompt, and kick off a Task — all from a dedicated Tasks view in the VS Code sidebar.
• Monitor and control without switching tabs: View agent chat logs, check Task status, pause or resume the workspace, and download audit logs directly from the Task History panel.
• Enterprise-grade by default: Every Task runs inside a secure Coder workspace with the correct repos, credentials, and network access already configured — no broad external access, no ungoverned SaaS compute.

To get started, upgrade to the latest version of the Coder VS Code extension. Read more in our blog.

Improved Lifecycle Control for Coder Tasks in Beta

When a task goes idle, it pauses automatically, freeing compute resources. While paused, a snapshot of the last conversation messages is visible in the UI and CLI. On resume, agents with session persistence restore their full context and continue working.

• Resume from where you left off: Pause and resume tasks from the CLI, API, or Tasks UI. Agents that support session persistence pick up exactly where they stopped.
• Pay only for active work: Intermittent Tasks no longer require always-on workspaces, reducing costs without changing how engineers work

Our Claude Code module has been updated for session persistence, and we are actively working to update our other agentic modules.

Share Access to a Coder Workspace in Beta

When something goes wrong in a workspace, getting another engineer in to help is still surprisingly hard. Without a first-class sharing mechanism, teams fall back on Slack threads, port forwarding, or external tools like VS Code Live Share — none of which give a collaborator true environment-level access. Shared Workspaces fixes that.

• Share the full environment, not just the surface: Collaborators sign in with their existing Coder account and get access to the same files, tools, services, and running processes — without becoming the workspace owner.
• Built for debugging and incident response: Bring in a teammate or support engineer to troubleshoot in real context, where the issue is actually happening.
• Auditable and policy-governed: All shared access is logged, revocable at any time, and respects your existing Coder policies. Premium deployments can restrict or disable workspace sharing entirely.

AI Bridge Client Tracking

You can now identify AI clients such as Claude Code, Codex, and Mux in the AI Bridge logs based on the user agent for improved cost attribution, usage insights, and compliance.

What's New in 2.30

Coder 2.30 delivers the general availability of AI Bridge and Agent Boundaries through Coder's AI Governance Add-On for Premium customers. This add-on helps organizations safely roll out AI tooling at scale. A future release of Coder will require the add-on license in order to continue using these features. Learn more in our documentation.

AI Bridge Now Generally Available

AI Bridge is Coder’s production-ready LLM gateway for auditing AI sessions, managing MCP servers, and enforcing policy across every AI tool your developers use.

What’s new in GA:

• Broader client compatibility: Govern AI traffic without reconfiguring every tool. With AI Proxy, a single environment variable in a template enables transparent, org-wide AI governance.
• Expanded provider support: Connect to Anthropic, OpenAI, or AWS Bedrock, including deployments behind corporate gateways.
• Observability and monitoring: Analyze costs and usage and debug issues with expanded audit logs, improved log formats, and UI improvements.

Agent Boundaries Now Generally Available

Agent Boundaries brings enforceable, runtime network controls and audit logging to autonomous AI agents running inside Coder workspaces.

What’s new in GA:

• Centralized audit logs: Queryable logs for every agent HTTP request.
• Landjail mode: Run Agent Boundaries without requiring permission changes, expanding compatibility across environments.
• Documented rules authoring: Clear guidance for defining granular, enforceable network policies.

Faster workspace starts for Terraform templates

• Captured modules per template version: Terraform modules are downloaded once at template version creation and reused on every workspace start.
• Faster, more predictable startup times: Reduces repeated network fetches, especially for complex or shared templates.
• Consistent module versions: Each workspace uses the same module code, minimizing unexpected changes and improving reproducibility.

Shared Workspaces in Early Access

• Secure, role-based access: Invite trusted users or groups using their existing Coder accounts, with access fully auditable and ownership retained.
• Real-time troubleshooting: Bring support or teammates directly into the workspace to debug issues in real context.
• Governed by platform policy: Shared access respects existing template, organization, and deployment-level controls.

Claude Code Module Update

• Configurable binary path: Supply a custom Claude Code binary instead of the default.
• Enterprise-friendly deployments: Enables usage in environments that cannot access public APIs or bundled binaries.
• Improved security and compliance: Supports stricter controls over tooling provenance and execution.

Breaking Changes

• #21398 – Terraform modules, especially those pointing to Git branches, no longer auto-update on workspace start. Module updates now require creating or re-importing a template version.
• #21215 – Enable PKCE by Default for External OAuth Providers: Providers that don’t support PKCE must explicitly disable it using CODER_EXTERNAL_AUTH_<N>_PKCE_METHODS=none.
• #21194 – Update SFTP/SCP Default Directory: SFTP and SCP connections now use the agent’s configured directory instead of always defaulting to $HOME, matching SSH and rsync behavior; scripts that relied on $HOME may need to use explicit paths.
• #20791 – Remove Experimental AI Bridge API Endpoints: /api/experimental/aibridge/* endpoints have been removed now that AI Bridge is GA; all clients must use the stable /api/v2/aibridge/* routes instead.

• Improved reliability and system stability: Optimized SMTP connection pooling, prebuild invalidation, expired API key cleanup, and more resilient embedded-Postgres handling.
• Smarter resource usage: Ability to leverage persistent and per-template cached Terraform directories (experimental).

Breaking Changes

• #20713 – Coder MCP tools auto-injection by AI Bridges is now opt-in: MCP tools are no longer injected automatically; explicitly enable them with CODER_AIBRIDGE_INJECT_CODER_MCP_TOOLS=true to maintain previous behavior.
• #20851 – CLI now uses OS keyring by default: CLI session tokens are stored in the OS keychain on macOS/Windows, improving security. Scripts or automation that read tokens from disk must update. Opt out with --use-keyring=false.
• #20583 – task_app_id removed from WorkspaceBuild: Integrations must migrate from WorkspaceBuild.task_app_id to Task.WorkspaceAppID. A deprecated compatibility field remains temporarily.
