What’s new

Arcweave now has a hosted MCP server, so the AI assistant you already use can work directly inside your projects. Connect Claude, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, VS Code with GitHub Copilot or another MCP client. Then ask it to summarize a story, inspect branching logic, create elements and connections, manage components and assets, or export a project for your game engine.

You decide what your assistant can do. Start with read-only access, and keep your client’s approval prompts on before you let it make changes to a project.

The MCP server is available on the Team plan, with setup guides for every major client.

Arcweave can now connect more deeply with your production workflow. Our public REST API provides read and write access to projects in Team workspaces, helping you build custom integrations, automate repetitive work, and keep narrative content moving between Arcweave and your other tools.

Create and update project content, import and export projects, manage assets, components, and variables, or retrieve project comments and replies. Whether you are building an internal tool or connecting Arcweave to a larger content pipeline, the API gives your team more flexibility without taking narrative work out of its shared workspace.

API keys provide separate Read projects and Write projects permissions, so each integration receives only the access it needs. New keys start as read-only, and existing permissions can be changed from the workspace’s API section. Keys also respect the workspace and project permissions of their creator.

Not every variable needs to be global.

With Board & Component Variables, you can now scope variables to exactly where they belong, helping you keep larger projects cleaner and easier to manage.

Use Board Variables for information specific to a scene or board, and Component Variables for attributes that belong to a specific component, such as a character’s health, an item's value, or a location's state.

Variables remain accessible wherever you need them through arcscript, with autocomplete making it easy to find and reference them.

More flexibility, less clutter, and better control over your project's game state.

We’ve introduced monthly AI credit usage across all workspace plans, along with clearer visibility into how AI is used across Arcweave.

Workspace owners and users with billing permissions can now view a full AI usage summary in Billing, including credits used, credits remaining, usage status, and the monthly reset date. You can learn more about how monthly AI credits work here:
Monthly AI credits overview

Moreover, AI actions now also display their credit cost directly in the interface, so usage is transparent before execution. If a workspace does not have enough credits available, the action will be blocked and the reset date will be shown.

More details about AI usage tracking are available here:

On the model side, we’ve upgraded the AI experience across Design Assistant, Element Generator, and Element Enhancer with a newer model for improved output quality. We’ve also improved how the assistant retrieves Arcweave documentation, using richer structured chunks with better metadata and linking for more accurate responses.

In larger projects, Design Assistant now also notifies you when responses are limited to the currently open board, helping keep generation scope clear while maintaining performance.

You can now edit story content directly inside Play Mode, without switching back to the board. Workspace and project owners and editors can update the current element’s text, edit option labels, and reorder choices while playtesting, making iteration much faster and more seamless.

Enter edit mode by clicking the pencil icon in the top menu or by double clicking an element’s text. While editing, story navigation is paused so you can safely make changes using the same rich text tools available on the board, including formatting and component @mentions. All changes are saved instantly to the project and remain available in future Play Mode sessions.

AI image generation just got a major upgrade. Arcweave now uses the new GPT image model for higher quality results and improved image generation workflows.

You can also use existing project image assets as style references, helping you generate visuals that stay consistent with your project’s artistic direction.

Overlapping connection labels kind of defeat their own purpose. If you can't read them, they're just visual noise, especially on dense boards.

You can now reposition any label along its connection. Click and drag the label, slide it to the right spot, and release. You can also resize it: just drag the left or right edge to adjust its width.

One more quality-of-life step towards cleaner boards. If you work with complex flowcharts, you'll feel the difference right away.

As your project grows, so does your list of global variables. Scrolling endlessly to find the one you need is a thing of the past.

With Board Variables, variables are now scoped and namespaced per board, appearing exactly where they belong. No more hunting through a sea of globals.

In Play mode, the Arcweave Debugger displays your board variables per board, making it easy to monitor and adjust as you go. The result is cleaner design and smoother playtesting.

You can now manage localization updates directly from XLSX spreadsheets.

Arcweave’s localization tool supports importing XLSX files exported from your project, validates their contents, and applies updates to the corresponding locales when you re-import them.

This makes it easier for translators who prefer working in Excel, while keeping your project’s languages, structure, and playtesting flow in sync.

We’re excited to introduce Localization in Arcweave, now available on every Team plan.

You can now manage multiple languages directly inside your project, making it easier to translate and maintain narrative content without duplicating story structures.

With localization you can:

• Add and manage multiple project languages

• Translate elements, labels, and component names directly in the editor

• Track translation progress with statuses

• Let players choose their preferred language in Play Mode

• Export localized content to JSON, including all languages or specific ones for your game integration
