ByteRover CLI 3.5.0

on GitHub

This release adds Claude Desktop as a first-class connector, cleans up how the installer handles its bundled Node.js, and patches a security advisory.

🌟 Highlights

🖥 Claude Desktop — connect ByteRover to the Claude Desktop app

If you use the Claude Desktop app, you can now plug ByteRover into it so Claude can search and save into your context tree directly — the same memory you already use from brv.

One command to set it up:

• brv connectors install "Claude Desktop" — or pick Claude Desktop from /connectors inside the REPL.

Works on macOS and Windows (including Microsoft Store / MSIX installs) — the two platforms Anthropic ships Claude Desktop for. After installing, fully quit Claude Desktop from the tray or menu bar and reopen it — a window-level restart isn't enough for it to pick up the new connector.

📦 Cleaner installer layout

Previously, install.sh placed its bundled Node.js in the same directory it added to your PATH, which could silently shadow the node on your system — breaking nvm, project-pinned Node versions, and anything else that resolves node through PATH.

Now the bundled Node lives in lib/ and only the brv symlink sits in bin/, so your system node is untouched. Just reinstall to pick up the new layout — no config changes needed.

🛡 Security update

Updated basic-ftp to close a high-severity npm advisory. Upgrade recommended.
