FlowFuse 2.23 introduces MCP server nodes, the ability to connect an ONNX model and upload a custom AI model to Node-RED, application-level permissions, and the new Expert Assistant on the [flowfuse.com](http://flowfuse.com/) homepage. Development is faster than ever with FlowFuse. [Take a look!](https://flowfuse.com/blog/2025/10/flowfuse-release-2-23/?utm-source=nrdiscourse)
