In January, we made Port AI smarter and more personal. Skills now let you encode team expertise into reusable instructions that guide AI through specialized tasks, while Memory learns your preferences over time. Port is now featured in Anthropic's MCP ecosystem for direct Claude integration, and as a community-approved n8n node for workflow automation.
On the platform side, SCIM user provisioning automates user lifecycle management from your Identity Provider, and client-side encryption gives security-conscious teams full control over sensitive data in self-service actions. View As gives you the ability to experience Port as your users do. Usage dashboard allows you to fully monitor platform usage metrics, and Self-Service SSO allows you to manage SSO directly from Port UI.
These are only the first few of all the great thing we released last month! Check out the interactive version of these release notes, click here.

Manage Skills in Port for specialized guidance
Encode your team's expert knowledge into reusable instruction sets that guide your developers and AI agents through specialized tasks with consistent, repeatable results. Skills are managed in your catalog, and are exposed through Port MCP server and Port AI. You can use built-in skills to build faster and Create custom skills for your workflows - deployment guidelines, engineering metrics analysis, incident root cause investigations, and more.
SCIM User Provisioning
Automate user lifecycle management with SCIM. Sync user provisioning, updates, and deprovisioning from Okta, Azure AD, or Google Workspace to Port automatically, even before a userβs first login.
Who is it for:
Enterprise customers using company-level SSO who need centralized access control and automated user management.Requirements:
SCIM requires a company-level SSO connection, not org-level SSO.View As
Experience Port exactly as your users do. "View As" allows admins to step into any user's shoes to validate permissions and fine-tune the portal experience and no password sharing or account switching required. This was our top-requested feature on Canny and, impressively, our first-ever Hackathon project to graduate straight to production.
Usage Dashboard for platform monitoring
Monitor platform usage metrics including active seats, action runs, and AI usage from a dedicated admin dashboard. Track adoption trends and optimize your Port investment with clear visibility into how your organization uses the platform.
Self-Service SSO
Manage SSO directly from the Port UI. Create and edit SSO connections, block domains from social login, customize maximum session timeouts, and configure group allowlists and blocklists, all in a single self-service workflow.
This feature will start rolling out over the next few days for
Enterprise tier
customers, and will be available in Organizational Settings
under the new SSO
tab for users with the Company Admin
role.
Custom icons for organization branding
Reinforce your brand identity throughout your portal with custom icons. Org admins can upload custom icons (PNG, JPEG, SVG up to 512x512) directly from the icon picker, making them instantly available to all users.
Medium
Port AI remembers your preferences
Port AI now remembers your preferences and working style, adapting responses without requiring you to repeat yourself. As you interact with Port AI, it automatically identifies patterns in your conversations and applies them to future interactions. You can disable AI memory and manage your stored preferences anytime.
Official Port connector Access in Claude
Port MCP server is now available as an official connector with Claude AI. Install Port as an MCP server inside Claude or Claude Code to query your internal developer platform using natural language. Build your platform in natural language, ask and run governed actions.
Official Port community node in n8n
Port is now officially recognized by n8n as a community-approved node, giving you seamless workflow automation with Port's developer portal. Connect Port to your n8n workflows to automate developer operations and integrate with hundreds of other services.
Configure custom authentication for Ocean integrations
Connect to any API regardless of its authentication complexity. Port now handles rotating tokens, OAuth flows, and custom auth schemes automatically. Configure custom authentication by defining where to request tokens, how to extract them from responses, and when to refresh them. Currently supported for self-hosted deployments only.
Spotlight search
Find anything in your portal in a heartbeat. Spotlight Search provides a lightning-fast, unified interface to navigate your entire software catalog, documentation, and self-service actions without ever leaving your current page.
Portal Setup Checklist
Get your portal running faster with guided, step-by-step onboarding. The new setup sidebar walks admin users through essential configuration such as portal integrations, catalog discovery, and AI features with real-time progress tracking.
GitHub Dependency Graph & SBOM Support
You can now ingest dependency graphs directly from GitHub into Port using GitHubβs SBOM data. This gives you clear visibility into your software supply chain, helping you understand dependencies and improve security and governance across your catalog.
Enable it through your GitHub data source to start mapping dependencies.
HTTP-based Polling for Port Agent
Simplify Port Agent setup in restricted network environments by using HTTP polling instead of Kafka. Enable this opt-in feature to have your agent periodically check for pending actions over standard HTTP requestsβperfect for environments with strict proxies or firewalls.
Small
Client-side encryption for secret user inputs
Take full control of sensitive data in self-service actions by managing encryption with your own RSA key pairs. Store your public key on the action configuration and decrypt secrets in your backend with your private keyβideal for organizations with strict compliance requirements that need end-to-end encryption control.
Quarterly Timeframe Interval in Line Charts
Analyze trends at the right level with quarterly data. Line chart widgets now support quarterly intervals, so you can aggregate and visualize time series data by quarter for clearer long-term trend analysis.
Note: Quarterly intervals for type property history charts are limited to a 1 year time range.
Organize AI chat tool calls into collapsible sections
Keep your AI conversations organized with tool calls neatly grouped and easy to expand or collapse. Tool calls now appear in collapsible sections similar to other chat interfaces, with cleaner markdown formatting.
Multi-line support for secrets input type
Easily enter certificates, private keys, and other multi-line secrets directly in self-service actions. Configure secret inputs for infrastructure provisioning workflows that require SSH keys or TLS certificates without workarounds.

Navigate Port with a refreshed sidebar featuring an updated visual design. This UX enhancement improves clarity and consistency across the platform with no changes to your existing configurations.
Future Date Filtering
Filter entities by upcoming dates to surface what's coming next. Use options like "in the next 90 days" on date properties such as ETA to quickly identify items within specific future timeframes.
Disable default resources in hosted integrations
You can now prevent hosted integrations from automatically creating default resources and mappings. This gives you full control over your catalog structure, helping avoid unwanted ingestions or duplicate resources during setup.
Disable Create default resources when installing or configuring a hosted integration to get started.
Live events for Jira Server, ServiceNow, and Sentry
Keep your catalog up to date in real time with live events for Jira Server, ServiceNow, and Sentry. Changes are now synced instantly as they happen, reducing delays and keeping your data accurate without manual refreshes.
