MCP-Access 0.7.65, released October 31, fixes problems that could close a database you were using while an AI assistant worked through the third-party Access tool. When the server attaches to an Access window you opened yourself, switching its target database now leaves your original database open.

The project also fixed ownership tracking after compiling or compacting an attached database. Previously, the next database switch could close it in your window. Another fix cleans up an Access process created by the tool when a calling script exits without disconnecting, preventing a leftover process from holding the database file lock.

These changes affect MCP-Access, not an Office update. The developer reports testing against real Access, and the package remains classified as beta. Review the project changelog and October 31 package release before updating a test setup.
