Grok Build v1.0.33: Structured MCP JSON, /memory Deletes, Long-Session Checkpoints Kept

Grok Build shipped v1.0.33 with stronger MCP, memory, and long-session reliability: MCP tool results can include structured JSON, cancel/timeout notifies the server to stop work, /memory supports two-press delete for real notes, and compaction checkpoints survive the 30-day cleanup so long agent workflows keep context. Elon Musk amplified the update.

Key Takeaways

  • MCP tool results can include structured JSON; cancel/timeout notifies the server to stop background work
  • /memory modal supports two-press x to delete real notes (not generated indexes), with clearer disabled/empty states
  • Long-session compaction checkpoints and prompt offloads survive the 30-day cleanup; also fixes macOS image paste, Windows clone, /rewind, and minimal-mode session bugs
