v1.1.0

Added

• MCP server (mcp/): query the confer corpus from AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, …) via the Model Context Protocol — field-aware search, full paper records, find-similar (TF-IDF), top authors/institutions/tracks, and BibTeX export. Zero-install: add npx -y confer-mcp to your MCP client; it streams the corpus from the public site on demand (no clone, no build). A local checkout or CONFER_DATA_DIR runs fully offline. Honours HTTPS_PROXY.
• find_similar and corpus-wide top_authors/top_institutions/top_tracks respond fast from precomputed data instead of loading the whole corpus.

See mcp/README.md for per-client setup.
