Aspire 13.2 is here — and this one’s a big deal.

TypeScript AppHost authoring. An AI-agent-native CLI. New and improved integrations. A smarter dashboard. We’ve been building toward some of these for a while, and today they ship.

Learn all about it at Aspire Conf happening TODAY. Watch live and hang out in the chat. We’ll be there.

Here are some of our favorite highlights. For the full breakdown, read the What’s New in 13.2.

🤖 A CLI built for coding agents

Coding agents need structure to build on and visibility into what’s happening. In 13.2, we focused on giving your agents the same power that Aspire gives you, so they can do complex work without you copy-pasting logs, manually restarting processes, and sending screenshots.

Whether you create a new Aspire sample app with aspire new or add an apphost to your existing codebase with aspire init, you’ll get Aspire specific skills and an MCP so your AI coding agents can work with you. Agents can start your AppHost in the background with the new --detach mode, stop and start any resource from the CLI without tearing down the whole system, and wait for resource statuses to update before moving on to their next action.

aspire start
aspire resource api restart
aspire wait api --status healthy --timeout 120

The --isolated flag lets agents spin up parallel environments without stepping on each other — random ports, separate secrets, and no more conflicts across git worktrees.

The aspire docs command brings aspire.dev documentation directly into agent workflows so agents can search and retrieve docs programmatically without needed additional MCPs configured. Plus, aspire doctor validates your whole environment before an agent starts building.

And there’s more: first-class cert and secret management, aspire export for debug snapshots, and a unified aspire.config.json to simplify settings files.

CLI what’s new

TypeScript AppHost is here

This is the feature you’ve asked for the most since we shipped Aspire 13, and we’re excited to bring it to you in preview today. Now, you can write your Aspire AppHost in TypeScript. Full orchestration, dashboard, service discovery.

The CLI, VS Code extension, and dashboard all work exactly the same whether your AppHost is C# or TypeScript. And TypeScript is just the start — we built the multi-language foundation in a way that makes it repeatable, and more languages are coming in the near future!

📊 Dashboard improvements

The dashboard now lets you export traces, spans, logs, and resource configurations as JSON or .env, and import telemetry bundles from aspire export to share debugging context with teammates.

Other highlights:

• Improved GenAI visualizer with better schema handling and tool inspection
• Adaptive force-directed resource graph layout
• Persistent UI state for collapsed/expanded resources and filters
• OTLP/JSON support alongside gRPC
• Query string value masking for sensitive data
• Consistent resource colors across dashboard and CLI
