| After the release of Solr 8.11.4, the Apache Solr community will no longer provide support for Solr 8.11. |

Let's change that to say 8x instead of 8.11.

| With Lucene 10 having been released, and therefore Lucene 8.11 reaching EOL, the Apache Lucene and Solr community are no longer able to provide new releases for Solr 8. |

This has a lot of overlap with the previous sentence, right?

Ok, revised the two sentences. Happy to change it to whatever if you still don't like it. |

Nice.
If we effectively EOL 8.x today, should we not also remove the dewnload links on the download page, and remove artifacts from CDN?
Here is a screenshot for the rendered sections:

@janhoy - I think we should certainly update the 'About versions and support' section but we can leave the artifacts for folks who might still want to download. We aren't going to provide any 'updates' but they should still be able to download the older versions. |
I'm OK with leaving the 8.11 link for a few months, but it should be removed once 8.11.4 gets known vulnerabilities filed against it that would normally warrant a new 8.11.5 release, if that happens before our 10.0 release. |
- Bump hero subhead from "9 tools and 2 resources" to "11 tools, 6
prompts, and 2 resources" to reflect the expanded surface.
- Schema table: add add-fields and add-field-types rows (additive
schema modification via Solr Schema API).
- Add a paragraph below the Tool Reference noting MCP behavior hints
(readOnlyHint / destructiveHint / idempotentHint) so client
integrators know to read them.
- Clarify that solr://{collection}/schema autocompletion is
prefix-filtered, case-insensitive, and capped at 100 suggestions.
- New "MCP Prompts" section listing the six workflow templates:
explore-collections, setup-collection, view-schema, design-schema,
index-data, search-collection.
Companion to apache/solr-mcp PRs apache#131, apache#134, and the upcoming prompts
and completion PRs landing at apache/solr-mcp.
