Recently at Port, we focused on making your internal developer portal more powerful and even easier to use.

From talking to Port with natural language to building filters without touching JSON, the updates below are all about improving usability, flexibility, and speed. We’ve also made improvements to dashboards, AI agents, and the Slack experience, plus added a bunch of new guides and videos to help you get the most out of your portal.

Let’s dive in 👇

You can now interact with Port using plain language in tools like Claude or Cursor.

Ask things like:

You’ll get answers or trigger actions directly from your IDE.

→ Explore the open-source MCP server

→ Check the docs

Creating filters in Port just got a lot easier. You can now build and update filters using a new visual UI, right in the portal. No more editing raw JSON (unless you want to, advanced mode is still there!).

Give it a spin in any entity catalog view.

You can now chart both total and average entity counts over time, across any blueprint.. Whether you're monitoring growth or comparing trends, this gives you the clarity you need to make smarter decisions.

Quickly access the tools and pages you rely on with our new . Whether it’s an audit log or a favorite third-party tool, the new Link Widget makes it easier to organize what you rely on.

Self-service actions now allow you to change the button text on the last step of the action, so you can let users know whats about to happen when they finish the form.

We shipped a lot in April—and every feature, enhancement, and UI polish was driven by real-world feedback. You told us what you needed (through direct product feedback, field insights, and our own portal experience), and we delivered: faster load times, clearer workflows, more intuitive interfaces, and powerful new capabilities like Engineering360 and AI Agents Beta. From deep insights on your team’s performance to streamlined task management, this release gives you the tools to see the full picture and act on it, without skipping a beat.

We’re introducing built-in

AI agents

that deliver instant value, including the and , which can answer:

These are just the beginning. You can now , integrated with your unique data model and building blocks. That means tailored workflows that automate routine engineering tasks and improve the developer experience.

We’re building toward a future where AI agents are first-class citizens in your portal—governed, contextual, and orchestrated from the platform your developers already use.

Early experiments are underway with tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot, including agent-to-agent collaboration.

This feature is available in closed beta, and access is provided on an application basis. Reach out to us by filling out this form.

Bring DORA metrics and developer sentiment directly into your portal—no need for another tool. Track deployment frequency, lead time, MTTR, and morale in one place. Then, act on those insights using the portal’s native features.

We've also added a new capability to implement the DORA dashboards and Surveys as 'Experiences', an automated way to create all the blueprints and entities you need to get started fast. Of course, you can always tailor those blueprints or start from scratch on your own if you prefer.

See how GitHub Copilot is actually being used—and whether it’s delivering value. Correlate AI activity with engineering KPIs to evaluate impact and guide investment decisions.

You can now install the same GitHub App across dev, staging, and prod Port orgs—making it easier to test, validate, and safely roll out integrations in multi-env setups.

Get instant visibility of actions needing your attention without hunting through emails or chasing links. Make faster approval decisions with complete context, all from a single streamlined view.

You can now create multiple dashboards for a single entity page, tailored to different personas, use cases, or workflows. Give each dashboard a personalized name and build as many as you need to bring the right context to the right people.

Our new Ocean-based Bitbucket Cloud integration supports real-time sync, monorepos, and improved resilience.

Add a network-level security layer by restricting UI and API access to specific IPs. Available to Enterprise customers via your Port account manager.

You can now rotate Kafka passwords directly in Port, just like client secrets. Click the 🔁 button in your Kafka credentials tab to rotate.

Personalize action buttons with custom text, making calls-to-action more relevant to each action. Edit any self-service action’s basic details to get started.

Easily compare raw and visualized data! You can now toggle a left-side pane to view the original JSON next to the Swagger tab. Just click the new toggle on any entity page.

Give developers room to express themselves with a new view of the text area input for self-service actions. Unlike standard single-line text fields that limit detailed explanations, text areas provide the space needed for comprehensive documentation of architecture decisions, deployment considerations, and implementation details directly within your workflows.

Apply conditional formatting to number charts! Set your own rules to control when a number chart should stand out—and choose the color that grabs attention. Plus, you can add extra context to make your data even more insightful at a glance.

The new GitLab V2 integration simplifies token setup and boosts performance, making it easier to connect and sync your repos. It also supports an improved file kind integration, relying on the GitLab search API, allowing for more complex use cases.

Starting June 1, 2025, Port’s API rate limits will shift from IP-based to organization-based enforcement (using organization ID). This change won’t impact customers who haven’t previously hit rate limits. The update will roll out as part of scheduled maintenance.

See the docs for current and upcoming rate limits.

We know you want a software catalog that’s effortless to manage and always up to date. That’s why this month’s updates make it easier than ever to customize entity pages, keep your catalog in sync in real-time, and streamline self-service workflows.

We’re introducing a brand new experience for the  tab — it’s becoming a fully customizable dashboard! Persistent, widget-level saves mean your entity pages function just like real dashboards, giving you complete control over how you display key information.

Keep your catalog up to date effortlessly! Hosted-by-Port integrations now support live events, automatically syncing data from Jira, PagerDuty, Snyk, Sonar, and Datadog, with more to come.

To add live events to your existing integrations, go to the Data Sources page and activate it from the integration setting.

The line chart just got a big upgrade! You can now apply aggregations like average, sum, count, and max over time, across all entities—not just individual ones. It works with any data, including historical imports, and lets you choose time intervals, breakdown per property, and customize axis titles for clearer visualizations.

New integrations (for new accounts) now come with pre-made self-service actions for common actions. For example, when integrating PagerDuty, you’ll automatically have actions like 'Trigger Incident' and 'Acknowledge Alert' ready to use.

Port now supports "File Kind" integration for Azure DevOps, letting you track and monitor files for use cases like parsing API specifications to create an API catalog, managing service dependencies from a file, and more.

Now, you can duplicate widgets in dashboards and homepages with one click—saving time and making customization even easier.

No more copy-pasting! Documentation snippets for blueprints, actions, and automations now include a 'Create in Port' option, making it easier to apply examples directly.

Guides for self-service actions now include an easier method using synced webhooks directly from Port—offering a simpler, real-time setup for tasks like acknowledging incidents or triggering alerts.

See an example here.

Dashboards now display total entity counts in group-by views, improving accuracy in aggregations and reporting.

In addition to organization secrets, users can now rotate personal tokens via the UI or API—giving individuals more control over security.

Teams can now manage custom Ocean integrations via the UI with full visibility—event logs, audit trails, and resync capabilities—on par with official integrations.

Following up on our dark mode, Port now respects your system’s default theme, automatically switching between light and dark mode based on your OS settings.

Run logs now support clickable URLs and email addresses without breaking highlighting or search functionality, improving usability during debugging or exploration. They also show the response body up to 1000 characters.

We’ve shared a step-by-step guide to help monitor the health of self-hosted Ocean integrations. See more in Monitor Integrations in Port.
