0.3.0 - 2026-05-22

Added

• pub://meta/resources — new static resource that returns a JSON array of every available resource and resource template, each with its URI, MIME type, and description. Read it first to discover what the server exposes without enumerating resources manually.
• Server instructions now list all six resource URIs and guide agents to read pub://meta/resources before making resource calls.

Added (test)

• Integration test suite in test/integration/ covering all five tools, four resources, and three lifecycle scenarios (49 tests total). Tagged integration in dart_test.yaml; excluded from the default dart test run via paths: [test/unit]. Run with dart test test/integration/.

Changed

• All tool, resource, resource template, and prompt descriptions rewritten as direct agent instructions. Each description states when to call it, what to do with the result, which tool to call next, and which patterns to avoid. search_api_symbols now explicitly warns against multi-term queries.
• PubDevClient caps concurrent HTTP requests at 5 by default, preventing 429 Too Many Requests errors when an agent issues several tool calls in parallel.

Fixed

• search_api_symbols now reports correct symbol kinds. The kind integer from index.json was mapped to the wrong ordinal positions, causing enums to appear as typedef, mixins as constant, and some typedefs to fall through to a raw integer string.
• Package README and section extraction now uses DOM queries instead of regex. The previous approach returned content from the matched element to the end of the document and silently failed on elements with extra CSS classes, single-quoted attributes, or out-of-order class tokens.

0.2.0 - 2026-05-21

Added

• get_package tool — full metadata for a named package: scores, SDK constraints, dependencies, recent versions, and README excerpt; supports optional version pinning
• get_changelog tool — parsed changelog as a newest-first list of entries with breaking flags; supports from_version lower bound and version_limit cap
• compare_packages tool — side-by-side ComparisonMatrix for 2–5 packages; partial failures are reported per package without blocking the remaining columns
• get_symbol_documentation tool — full dartdoc page for a specific API symbol as plain text
• list_package_source_files tool — file paths in a package tarball with optional directory and fileExtension filters; shares the 1-hour cache entry with get_package_source_file
• get_package_source_file tool — raw content of a single source file from the pub.dev package tarball; resolves version automatically when omitted; returns closest-filename suggestions on source_file_not_found
• add-and-setup-package prompt — guides the LLM through reading a package README, explaining its purpose, writing boilerplate initialisation code, and listing native platform setup steps
• analyze-upgrade-impact prompt — guides the LLM through retrieving changelog entries, identifying breaking changes between two versions, and rewriting affected source code
• evaluate-alternatives prompt — guides the LLM through searching for packages matching a use case, comparing the top results, and producing a recommendation with a markdown comparison matrix
• pub://meta/scoring resource — plain-text explanation of pub.dev's 160-point scoring system; embedded at compile time
• pub://meta/sdk-versions resource — current stable Dart and Flutter SDK versions as a { dart, flutter } JSON object
• pub://package/{name}/readme resource template — full package README as text/markdown
• pub://package/{name}/example resource template — package example code as text/markdown
• pub://package/{name}/api resource template — dartdoc symbol index as application/json
• pub://package/{name}/changelog resource template — full changelog as text/markdown

0.1.0 - 2026-05-11

• In-memory TTL response cache with per-entry expiry (5-minute TTL for search results)
• CLI configuration via --log-level and --cache-dir flags with env var fallback
• Stdio transport over stdin/stdout (via dart_mcp ^0.5.1)
