Description

Changelog entry for the 3.0 third-party agent feature, plus the feature-catalog entry that carries its plan badges.

The entry now ends on one-click install links for VS Code, Cursor and Claude Code rather than a docs link, per review.

Split out of #5670 so the changelog reviews on its own. The diagram is duplicated into the changelog's own images/ directory, so neither PR depends on the other.

If /ai moves to Nuxt

#5682 is this entry with the shared FfCommand block instead of the address as inline code. It is stacked on #5681, so it only applies if that lands.

Related Issue(s)

FlowFuse/flowfuse#8192

#5611

Depends on

/docs/user/expert/third-party-agents/ lands with FlowFuse/flowfuse#8241. The link check fails until that merges; Netlify's build does not run it, so the preview builds.

Per review, the entry ended on a docs link, which is not a call to action.
It now carries the one-click routes that exist: the VS Code redirect and
the Cursor deeplink, both verified (the VS Code one 302s to
vscode:mcp/install with the right payload), the claude mcp add command, and
the paste-the-address route for Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot Studio, which
have no deeplink.

Also: agent rather than assistant, matching the docs, and a line on the
audit log now that third-party calls are attributed via MCP.
…tooling

The previous commit put editor and command-line deeplinks at the top, which
inverts the story. The audience is the agent a company has already
approved, and /ai leads on the enterprise assistants and local models with
coding agents as a trailing note. The CTA now matches that order and hands
off to /ai, which already carries the copyable address and the three steps
per agent.
Text only. The schematic stays on /ai, where it sits alongside the picker
it explains.

Flow building happens on the canvas in front of you. Open the instance, turn on the MCP toggle in the page header, and you watch the agent work.

This is available to all FlowFuse Cloud users and to Enterprise self-hosted installations from v3.0, across FlowFuse Hub, Edge and Fleet. See [connecting your own agent](/docs/user/expert/third-party-agents/) for setup, including what to check on an instance before asking for a flow.

Flagging this link: what ships first is not settled yet, and gets decided later today.

/ai and the docs page are landing on different tracks. /ai is #5670 (11ty) or #5681 (Nuxt), still an open renderer question, and we aligned in the Slack thread that it may land the week after release. The docs page is FlowFuse/flowfuse#8241, which is green.

Default for now: point at /ai. It carries the address to copy and the three steps per agent, which is what a reader at this point actually needs. The docs link stays for the detail.

If /ai slips past release day, this line needs the order flipped, so leave the thread open until that call is made.

I'll leave this up to you and marketing then, correct?

Correct, ours to call. Keeping the order as it stands: /ai first for the per-agent steps, the docs page after it for the detail. Both links are in.

If /ai slips past release day I will flip them before this merges, so leaving this thread open until that lands.
