dathere/qsv: 14.0.0

[14.0.0] - 2026-01-12 📦 "The qsv MCP for Everyone Release" 🎁 Building on our 13.0.0 "AI-native Agent" milestone last week, qsv 14.0.0 is dedicated to making AI integration seamless, reliable, and easy for everyone. Previously, installing the qsv MCP Server required a full-fledged development environment and familiarity with command line tools and was not readily usable by non-developers. This release transforms the qsv MCP Server from a powerful developer tool into a user-friendly, transparently integrated Claude Desktop data-wrangling agent with robust cross-platform support, automatic updates, and comprehensive testing infrastructure. MCP Desktop Extension (Bundle) - One-Click Installation The new MCP Desktop Extension (MCPB) provides a streamlined installation experience for Claude Desktop users: User-Friendly Package - Pre-configured bundle with automatic qsv binary detection - and if not found, provide installation guidance Cross-Platform Support - Works seamlessly on macOS, Windows, and Linux Smart Data-wrangling - it's deep knowledge of qsv insulates the User from the nitty-gritty details of the comprehensive toolkit with its hundreds of options, while ensuring fast, effective operations Token Efficient - Despite this deep knowledge, the MCP server is still token efficient by including intelligent contextual guidance to help Claude make optimal decisions (USE WHEN, COMMON PATTERNS, ERROR PREVENTION, PERFORMANCE HINTS prompt guidance along with lazy-loading of full qsv --help text when more info is required) Security Enhanced - Raw Data is not sent to the cloud LLM, only statistical metadata Welcome Experience - Includes prompts and examples to get started quickly Seamlessly works with both Claude Code and the just launched Claude Cowork! Take qsv beyond data-wrangling chats and unlock even greater potential with qsv as an AI Agent. The Desktop Extension follows the official MCP manifest specification v0.3, ensuring compatibility with Claude Desktop and future MCP-compatible applications. See the MCP Bundle documentation for installation instructions.
