Finally, FileMaker developers can paste JSON, XML, text, field values, or variables into a context panel, write a FileMaker calculation, and evaluate the result directly in the browser. Unsupported functions and missing context are clearly called out, while supported functions are searchable and grouped into FileMaker-style categories.

Happy Friday, fellow FileMaker Developers!

I just posted a new FM Dojo release update and wanted to share the practical bits here for FileMaker folks.

The main theme is making FM Dojo less like a collection of separate tools and more like one connected workspace for FileMaker Pro, FileMaker Server, and AI-assisted development.

The biggest additions:

• Server Deploy is now live for paid accounts. It moves FileMaker files between dev, test, and production using the FileMaker Data Migration Tool, with preflight checks, run history, logs, and multi-file plans. And you can set up notifications through Flows. I'm very excited about this tool. You can run migrations from planes, trains, and automobiles because it works on mobile, just like most of the tools.
• Database Authorizations are now centralized. Add a FileMaker database once, test the credentials, and reuse that access across AI Data Access, Builder, FM Router, FM Deploy, Server Deploy, Projects, and Flows.
• AI Data Access now supports multiple FileMaker databases through one connector, which is useful for Claude, Cursor, Zed, Continue.dev, and other MCP clients. Talk to your database from the road with Claude Mobile.
• AI Chat now runs on GPT-5.5, with Fast, Balanced, and Thorough response settings.
• The FMDojo plug-in clipboard bridge now has both Mac and Windows builds, so XML can move directly between FMDojo and FileMaker Pro. Tahoe is coming soon.
• The Code Editor now has a FileMaker Calculation Evaluator for testing calculations against pasted JSON, XML, plain text, fields, and variables.
• There is also a new For Beginners page for people just starting with FileMaker, plus a public Status page and a community forum.

I also wrote a post on Medium about the journey so far, if interested: https://medium.com/@agir/what-ive-been-learning-since-launching-fm-dojo-i-built-fm-dojo-to-solve-my-own-filemaker-pain-b335f7c76783

Would be curious what parts of FileMaker deployment people are still handling manually. That workflow is where we are spending a lot of time right now.

Also, I appreciate all of you who have responded to the survey. Could I please get some more responses? https://fmdojo.com/hosting-location-survey I will synthesize the results and let you all know.

Last but not least, we have a community for FMDojo users in Discourse, so we can all learn together, share use cases, and play beer pong. Just kidding.

Come learn about FM Dojo and its features. Ask questions, get real answers.

This is not a troubleshooting or issue-sharing session. We have other avenues for that.
