v2.8.0
ddb-mcp v2.8.0
This release makes ddb-mcp easier to get started with — there's a new step-by-step macOS install guide aimed at folks who've never touched a terminal before. It also adds a way to clear stale cached data when spells or items aren't showing up correctly, plus a diagnostic tool to help track down why.
New Features
- Beginner-friendly macOS install guide. A new walkthrough (
INSTALL-MACOS.md) takes you from "I just bought a Mac" to a working ddb-mcp setup, with no prior coding experience assumed. Linked from the README. - Clear the cache when things look wrong. A new
ddb_clear_cachetool lets you wipe ddb-mcp's saved copies of spells, items, monsters, and character data. Useful when you've updated a character on D&D Beyond and want Claude to see the changes right away, or when a spell or item seems to be missing from results.
Improvements
- Better spell and item lookup reliability. Under-the-hood changes to how the spell/item compendium is built make it more robust when D&D Beyond returns partial results. A new diagnostic script helps the maintainer track down problems quickly when players report missing content.
No breaking changes — existing setups will keep working as before.
