MARE v0.4.2

MARE v0.4.2 turns the project into a more cohesive product surface.

This release is about making MARE easier to understand, easier to try, and easier to treat like one system instead of a set of disconnected entrypoints.

Highlights

  • Added a unified product CLI:
    • mare --help
    • mare ui
    • mare chat
    • mare ask
    • mare workflow
    • mare ingest
    • mare eval
    • mare mcp
  • Added a simple document-agent experience:
    • mare chat --folder ./docs
    • ask questions over a folder of PDFs
    • get source file, page, snippet, highlight path, and retrieval reason
  • Made the visual playground easier to launch:
    • mare ui
    • no need to remember the raw Streamlit command
  • Improved first-run onboarding and landing-page clarity:
    • one-product README structure
    • visual-first quickstart
    • clearer “which interface should I use?” guidance
    • clearer generated evidence file locations
  • Improved MCP/Create App readiness:
    • remote MCP transport support
    • compatibility with older FastMCP SDK signatures
    • host/origin allowlist support for tunneled testing
    • URL-based PDF MCP tools:
      • ingest_pdf_url
      • query_pdf_url

Why this release matters

Earlier releases made MARE technically stronger.

v0.4.2 makes MARE feel more like a product:

  • one front door
  • one mental model
  • multiple usage modes on top of the same evidence-first engine

The intended shape is now much clearer:

mare
  -> ui
  -> chat
  -> workflow
  -> mcp

That means new users can understand MARE faster, while developers and agent builders still get the deeper integration layers underneath.

Install

pip install mare-retrieval

Visual playground:

pip install "mare-retrieval[ui]"
mare ui

Simple document-agent loop:

mare chat --folder ./docs

Notes

  • Python import remains import mare
  • GitHub repo remains MARE
  • PyPI distribution name remains mare-retrieval
  • mare ui and mare chat are now the clearest first-use entrypoints
  • mare mcp remains the protocol-facing integration path for agent platforms and remote app workflows
