v0.2.0 — BETTER textbook MCP (Streamable HTTP)

mcp-better — built for 7/28 · more road, not a new era.

Added

• --http Streamable HTTP on MCP_BETTER_HTTP_ADDR (default 127.0.0.1:8787/mcp)
• Stateless 7/28 path · json_response · loopback Host guards
• Example http-smoke — list stamps + health with Mcp-Method / Mcp-Name
• CLI --help · keep stdio as default (Cursor / Desktop)
• SECURITY.md v0.2 HTTP threat posture (no auth/TLS · loopback bind · Host ≠ ACL)
• Docs: transport env (MCP_BETTER_TRANSPORT / MCP_TRANSPORT) · Registry lists stdio only by design

Fixed / honesty

• Server instructions are transport-neutral (no longer claim “over stdio” only)
• HTTP smoke: echo round-trip over Streamable HTTP (parity with stdio-client)
• Lib/test comments: dual-transport entry; integration tests labeled as crate-boundary only

Unchanged

• Tools health + echo · Discover-compatible stamped tools/list
• Identity io.github.Wolfe-Jam/mcp-better
