Today the assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) started accepting images everywhere the dashboard does.

#Profile picture and featured image, through the assistant

What it is. You can ask the assistant "change my picture to this one" and give the link or file of an image. It changes your picture in the community or, if you ask, your account picture (the same in every community). Moderators and above also change or remove the picture of people in the community. And when creating or editing an event or a call for papers, the assistant accepts the square featured image (1:1), besides the banner.

Why it matters. Before, only the dashboard changed pictures and featured images. Now the assistant does it in the same conversation where it builds the event, and it can use an image it generated itself.

• The formats are JPEG, PNG, WebP and GIF; SVG becomes PNG. A file can be up to 5 MB.
• If the image can't be used, nothing changes, and the assistant tells you why.
• Changing a picture doesn't ask for confirmation.
• The community banner is still changed only in the dashboard.

Example. "Change my picture to this one: https://example.memberfy.net/me.png. And set this square image as the featured image of the November Meetup." See the recipe Change your picture and set a featured image and Images.

#Courses for members

What it is. Members find the community's courses, open the course and the lesson (video, text, link or image), start, resume where they left off and finish, with progress tracked.

Why it matters. The courses screen used to show only sample content. Now what the team builds is what members see. Creating and editing courses on screen comes to the dashboard later; until then, the assistant (MCP) or the API builds the course. See Courses.

#AI assistant switched on by role

What it is. The owner decides who can connect an AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) to the community, with three switches in Settings › AI assistants: Members, Staff (moderator, finance and admin) and Admins. Turning off cuts access at once; turning on again restores it with no reconnecting.

Heads up: all start turned off. That includes communities that already used the assistant: anyone who is not the owner loses access until the owner turns it on. The owner always has access. If someone's assistant stopped working, this is why: ask the owner to turn on your group's switch. See General settings.

#On the website

The website got a country selector. On pages for countries outside Brazil, PIX and boleto are not offered, and numbers follow each country's format.

#Improvements

• New security controls.

#For developers

This part is for people who integrate Memberfy through code. To use what is above, none of it is needed.

#MCP: technical details

• New tool in Members: 210 in total. update_avatar (all roles; no confirmation) takes member (optional), scope (community, the default, or account), remove, image_url and image_base64. Any role changes their own picture; someone else's needs moderator or above, and only for people in the connected community; scope=account is always your own. By role: owner and admin, 210; moderator, 124; finance, 104; member, 87. See Tools · Members.
• Featured image 1:1 on events. create_event and update_event accept featured_image_url and featured_image_base64; update_event checks the images before changing the event. In create_event, a refused image becomes warnings.
• Call for papers. create_call_for_papers and update_call_for_papers accept the featured image as a file too (featured_image_base64), and update_call_for_papers checks the images before changing the call.
• No API route changed. See Images.

#API: courses and the AI assistant

• The course GET omits lesson content for anyone who cannot see the space.
• Enrolling again in a course returns 200.
• GET /api/communities/settings is a new route (read by the team); PATCH .../settings accepts mcpMembers, mcpStaff and mcpAdmins (owner and SuperAdmin only), and POST /api/communities/domain and authorize/info return mcpAllowed. See Authentication.
• In MCP, get_community_settings shows assistant_access and update_community_settings accepts assistant_members, assistant_staff and assistant_admins (owner only).
