Take Control Release – New Backend for TC Standalone

Posted on November 13, 2026 by José Serrano

A new version of the Take Control Standalone backend has been released for Take Control and Take Control Plus.

The main highlight of this release is the introduction of native Model Context Protocol support, enabling secure integration with AI automation. The release also expands the REST API with new capabilities for script management and deployment and secure device deletion, alongside new administrative controls and improved device visibility.

Backend

  • Model Context Protocol Server for AI Automation – Introduces native MCP support for Take Control Standalone. This enables secure, standardized connections between our REST API set and modern external AI platforms, LLMs, or custom automation workflows. You can reach the MCP from one of the following URLs, depending on the region where your TC Standalone account lives:
    • mcp.us0.swi-rc.com
    • mcp.eu2.swi-rc.com
    • mcp.us3.swi-rc.com

  • Additionally, we are introducing a bunch of new API endpoints:
    • Script and Script Group Management – Full support for managing scripts and script groups programmatically, simplifying central repository synchronization.
    • Script Deployment – New endpoint allowing automated execution of scripts directly onto target devices.
    • Device Deletion – Secure device deletion utilizing short-lived validation tokens to prevent unauthorized or accidental removals.

Admin Area

  • Outdated Console Visibility & Version Enforcement – Identify outdated Console versions and warn or block affected logins and sessions.
  • Schedule-Based Session Controls – Restrict remote sessions to defined working hours. Connection attempts outside these hours are blocked and audited.
  • Technician Inactivity Timeouts – Centralized inactivity limits to automatically log out idle Consoles.
  • New Lock Screen Connection Policy – Control whether technicians can connect to devices while the OS is locked.
  • Last Logged-In User & Device Activity – View, search, and filter devices by last logged-in user and recent activity.
  • Hierarchical Device Counts – Show direct and total device counts, including devices in nested sub-groups.
  • Public & Private IP Visibility – Show both public and private IP addresses in device details.
  • Linux Device Information Refresh – Refresh Linux device information on demand for up-to-date system details.

Bug Fixes

  • Resolved an issue where the exclusive link failed to save in the Admin Area>Profile settings.
  • General stability fixes, minor interface refinements, and routine backend maintenance.
