What’s new in Userpilot (Sep 2026): Lia on every plan, the Userpilot MCP, and offline mobile analytics

1. Five changes a product ops lead should act on (primary)

What it is: From the September notes, these five need a decision from someone: (1) the Userpilot MCP, which lets AI tools such as Claude, Cursor, or Copilot query Userpilot and create reports, dashboards, segments, and survey drafts, available on every plan at no extra cost (9 September — “Introducing Userpilot MCP”); (2) persistent offline analytics in Android and iOS SDK 1.4.0 (27 September) and the React Native, Flutter, Cordova, Capacitor, and MAUI 1.3.0 releases (29 September) — Android notes; (3) experience previews from a QR code and test push notifications (Android and iOS 1.3.0, 2 September), with URL-based deep-link handling arriving in the cross-platform SDKs between 7 and 29 September; (4) privacy changes: nested redaction rules across the cross-platform SDKs, and a MAUI 1.2.0 release (29 September) with breaking renames and wider redaction — MAUI notes; and (5) Lia and the MCP listed on every plan on the pricing page (as listed 9 October).

2. The Userpilot MCP (9 Sep)

What it is: Userpilot’s 9 September post describes the MCP as a way to bring usage data, user and company profiles, surveys, NPS responses, and session replay context into the AI tools your team already uses. It says the MCP can help set up product tracking, analyze behavior, build reports and dashboards, create segments, and draft surveys; that it ships with 15 built-in skills for common jobs (Userpilot’s count); and that each person connects once with their own Userpilot account, so the MCP follows the permissions already assigned to that user. Userpilot’s MCP docs add that survey drafts are reviewed and published in Userpilot, and that your plan’s feature limits apply the same way they do in the app.

The post’s own FAQ is worth reading as a checklist: it says the MCP inherits the authorizing user’s permissions (agent-level authentication is planned), that building walkthroughs and flows is coming to the MCP and arriving sooner through Lia, and it suggests keeping publish permission with one owner per team. Because reports and segments can be saved from a chat, decide who may create them before everyone connects.

3. Lia and the MCP on every plan

What it is: On 9 October 2026 Userpilot’s pricing page lists “MCP and AI Agent Lia” on Starter, Growth, and Enterprise. The 9 September post says the MCP is available on every Userpilot plan at no extra cost. The pricing page itself carries no change date, so we can’t say exactly when Lia was added to every plan — only that it is listed that way now. The same page lists an MCP Analytics view (tool usage, connected clients, reliability, and intent gaps) and lists Mobile Engagement under Enterprise.

“On every plan” is about access, not about what Lia may do on its own. Our Userpilot AI review covers what Lia drafts and what still needs a person to publish.

4. Offline analytics in the mobile SDKs (27 and 29 Sep)

What it is: Android and iOS SDK 1.4.0 (27 September) added local storage for identify calls, screen views, custom events, Auto Capture events, flow, survey, and NPS interactions, and push-notification opens while a device is offline, then sends them in timestamp order when the connection returns — including events saved before an app restart. React Native, Flutter, Cordova, Capacitor, and MAUI 1.3.0 (29 September) brought persistent offline storage for identify calls, screen views, custom events, and Auto Capture events. Userpilot’s Offline Mode docs say it is always on, that all stored event types share up to 3 MB or 5,000 events (whichever comes first), that new events aren’t stored once the limit is reached, and that switching accounts or logging out clears stored events. See Android, iOS, React Native, and Flutter notes.

Offline storage changes your numbers, not just your reliability. After the upgrade, sessions from trains and basements start showing up, and events can arrive late. Note the upgrade date next to any mobile funnel so a jump isn’t read as a product change.

5. Previews, test push, and deep links (2–29 Sep)

What it is: Android and iOS SDK 1.3.0 (2 September) added preview experiences launched from a QR code and support for test push notifications. The cross-platform SDKs then added URL-based handling so preview and push links reach Userpilot: React Native 1.2.0 (7 September) added didHandleURL and deprecated didHandleIntent; Flutter 1.2.0 (9 September) added deep links plus previews and test push; Cordova, Capacitor, and MAUI 1.2.0 (29 September) followed. The notes describe queueing links that arrive before setup and handing unhandled links back to your app. See React Native, Flutter, Cordova, and Capacitor notes.

QR previews make it easy for a PM to see a mobile flow on a real phone before it goes live — which is exactly when the publisher should look. Wire the custom URL scheme in a test build first.

6. Privacy and breaking changes, and who approves each one

What it is: Several September releases change what Auto Capture records. React Native, Flutter, Cordova, and Capacitor added nested privacy rules, so a child element can opt back into capture or unredacted text inside a masked area. MAUI 1.2.0 (29 September) is marked as breaking: it replaced the Android HandleIntent API with DidHandleUrl, renamed the XAML properties RedactText and IgnoreInteractions to Redact and Ignore, and extended redaction to input hint text, accessibility metadata, view tags, and selected values, with a note to review targeting rules that depend on those fields. iOS 1.4.0 turned interaction value capture on by default when interaction Auto Capture is enabled. Owners: MCP access → product ops lead; SDK upgrades → mobile lead; redaction rules → the engineer who owns Auto Capture, checked by whoever owns privacy; publishing → one named publisher.
