1: Connect Custom MCP Servers (Beta)

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the new standard for connecting AI agents to external tools and services. With v9.6, you can now bring your own MCP servers into Younet, dramatically expanding what your agents can accomplish.

Why This Matters: Previously, you were limited to Younet's built-in connectors. Now, if you have a custom internal tool, a niche platform, or a proprietary system, you can expose it to your AI agents through MCP.

How to Add an MCP Server

  1. Open any agent's chat interface
  2. Click the arrow button in the chat input field
  3. Select "Connected Apps"
  4. Click "Add MCP Server"
  5. Choose from our template gallery OR paste your custom remote server URL
  6. Authenticate if required (OAuth 2.1 or Bearer token)
  7. Preview available tools before activating

Power Your Agents with the Latest AI Models

We have added the most advanced AI models available in 2026. Each model has unique strengths, so you can choose the right brain for each agent's job.

New Models Available

Model Provider Best For
Claude Opus 4.7 Anthropic Complex agentic coding, long-horizon autonomous tasks, deep analysis
Claude Sonnet 4.6 Anthropic Near-Opus performance at lower cost, great for most business tasks
GPT-5.4 OpenAI State-of-the-art coding, creative writing, general excellence
GPT-5.4 Pro OpenAI Maximum capability for enterprise-critical tasks
GPT-5.4 Mini OpenAI Fast responses, cost-efficient for high-volume workflows
GPT-5.4 Nano OpenAI Ultra-fast, lowest cost for simple tasks
Gemini 3.1 Pro Google Advanced reasoning, multimodal understanding

How to Choose the Right Model

  • For autonomous agents that run complex multi-step workflows: Claude Opus 4.7 or GPT-5.4 Pro
  • For customer-facing agents that need fast responses: GPT-5.4 Mini or Nano
  • For balanced performance and cost: Claude Sonnet 4.6 or GPT-5.4
  • For data analysis and reasoning tasks: Gemini 3.1 Pro

Important: All models now work identically with tools, connectors, and web search. Your agents will behave consistently regardless of which model powers them.

4: Performance & Quality Improvements

We have made significant upgrades to make your agents faster and more reliable.

Stop Button

You can now halt any AI response mid-stream with a single click. This is useful when:

  • The agent is heading in the wrong direction
  • You have the information you need before the response finishes
  • You want to try a different prompt

Billing Note: When you stop a response, you are only charged for the tokens that were actually generated—not the full response.

Faster Streaming

We eliminated the 6-10 second lag that used to occur at the end of long responses. Now, when your agent finishes generating, the response appears complete instantly.

Heavy Load Stability

Our backend has been completely reworked to handle peak usage without slowdowns. Even when thousands of users are chatting simultaneously, your agents will respond at full speed.

Public Agent Discovery

Visitors can now preview your public agents without signing up first. This makes it easier to share your AI agents with potential customers, partners, or the public.


5: Bug Fixes & Improvements

  • Fixed typing lag in long conversations with multiple tool calls ✅ 
  • Fixed PDF processing failures on certain file types ✅ 
  • Fixed upload issues with large DOCX files ✅ 
  • Fixed Gemini model compatibility issues with some tools ✅ 
  • Restored reasoning steps visibility for Claude Opus 4.7 ✅ 
  • Restored reasoning steps visibility for Gemini 3.1 ✅ 
  • Fixed connector access issues for shared and public agents ✅ 
  • Improved consistency of tool behavior across different AI models ✅

Real-World Use Case: The Upgraded Customer Success Agent

Here is how you can combine these new v9.6 features to build a powerful autonomous workflow:

The Goal: Create an AI agent that handles customer inquiries, checks order status, generates invoices, and escalates complex issues, all without human intervention.

Features Used: Custom MCP Server (internal inventory system), Shopify integration, QuickBooks integration, Slack integration, Claude Opus 4.7.

The Workflow:

  1. Customer emails asking about their order status and requests an invoice
  2. Agent (powered by Claude Opus 4.7) reads the email and identifies the request
  3. Agent queries Shopify to get real-time shipping status
  4. Agent connects to your internal inventory system via custom MCP server to check stock levels
  5. Agent generates a PDF invoice through QuickBooks
  6. Agent replies to the customer with shipping status and invoice attached
  7. If the order is delayed, agent automatically notifies your team via Slack and offers the customer a discount code

Result: What used to require 15-20 minutes of human work now happens in under 30 seconds, 24/7.
