Watch vendor changelogs for breaking changes

New changes and deprecations in the APIs and tools you depend on, with the dates and the work they need.

  • On a schedule: Every Monday at 8:00

What it does

The task

Open the changelogs, release notes and deprecation pages of vendors. Find the entries published since the last run. Keep the ones that affect the features that we use: features. For each one, give the vendor, the change, the date it takes effect, whether it breaks our use, and the work that it needs, with the link. Send me the breaking changes first.

  • It works in any website and GitHub, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
  • As a routine it runs every Monday at 8:00 (cron 0 8 * * 1).

What you give it

What you get back

An example run with the example values above. Your run uses your own data.

Changes that affect you: 2 of 11 new entries

  • Paylane: the charges API v2 stops on 1 Mar 2027. Breaking: your checkout uses it. Work: move to the payments API v3, about 3 days. Link
  • Notifyr: webhook signatures change to SHA-256 on 15 Jan 2027. Breaking: your signature check fails after that date. Work: change one function and test it, about 2 hours. Link

Not breaking: Shipwell adds 2 new carriers to the label API. Link

8 entries do not affect your features.

Run it from your AI agent

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other MCP clients reach Cuiar at https://mcp.cuiar.com/mcp. Add the server one time, then ask for the task in plain words, or call create_routine yourself.

1. Add Cuiar to Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http cuiar https://mcp.cuiar.com/mcp

2. Ask your agent

Use the Cuiar tool create_routine to run my "Watch vendor changelogs for breaking changes" template with vendors = Paylane API, Shipwell, Notifyr SMS; features = Paylane charges API v2, Shipwell label API, Notifyr webhooks.
