v1.2.1

Fixed

• install_skill: target_path check accepted sibling folders sharing the workspace prefix (e.g. proj-x for proj). Now uses path.relative.
• manage_search_paths was annotated readOnlyHint: true although add/remove write skill-paths.json. Now readOnlyHint: false, destructiveHint: true.
• list_skills with no skills found returned a success result containing env vars and cwd. It now returns isError with a pointer to debug_info; a query with no matches returns a normal result.

Changed

• @modelcontextprotocol/sdk ^1.32.1; dependencies updated, npm audit clean.

Added

• npm run probe: lists tools via the MCP Inspector CLI.
• CI on Ubuntu and Windows.

v1.2.0 — MCP 2026 Modernization

What's new

MCP Prompts (slash commands)

Skills now appear as slash commands in MCP clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.). No tool calls needed — select a skill from the slash command menu to inject it directly into context.

Live skill updates

File watcher (chokidar) watches all skill directories. Add or remove a SKILL.md and connected clients receive a notifications/prompts/list_changed notification automatically. Disable with MCP_NO_WATCH=1.

Skill search/filter

list_skills now accepts an optional query parameter — case-insensitive substring match on name and description. Useful with large skill libraries.

Tool annotations

• readOnlyHint: true on list_skills, read_skill, debug_info, manage_search_paths
• destructiveHint: true on install_skill

Dependency updates

• @modelcontextprotocol/sdk: ^1.0.1 → ^1.29.0
• typescript: ^5.4.5 → ^5.8.0
• @types/node: ^20 → ^22
• Added chokidar ^5.0.0

Bug fix

Server version was hardcoded as "1.0.0" — now reads from package.json at runtime.
