What?

See #178

Rebuilds readme.txt for the WordPress.org listing, following WordPress/ai/readme.txt. Also removes two packaging entries for files that aren't in the repo.

Why?

A few things would be wrong on the .org page as it stands. The Changelog tab would be empty, because == Changelog == just links out to GitHub releases. == Installation == tells people to download from a GitHub release, which won't be right once the plugin is in the directory. There's no FAQ. And Contributors: only lists wordpressdotorg.

Separately, package.json files lists CHANGELOG.md and LICENSE. Neither file exists, and .gitattributes export-ignores CHANGELOG.md at the same time, so the two disagree.

How?

  • Added For Developers, Frequently Asked Questions and Upgrade Notice sections. The full changelog is now inline, 0.6.1 back to 0.1.0, with the breaking changes repeated under Upgrade Notice.
  • Installation now starts with the plugin directory. Composer and Jetpack Autoloader notes moved into For Developers.
  • Stable tag: 0.6.1, to match mcp-adapter.php.
  • Removed the CHANGELOG.md entries from package.json and .gitattributes, and changed LICENSE to LICENSE.md, which is the real filename.
  • No Screenshots section. There's no admin UI in trunk yet (feat(admin): add Settings > MCP Adapter page to opt registered abilities into the default server (fixes #183) #184).

Contributors is now wordpressdotorg, ovidiu-galatan. @gziolo asked for galatanovidiu in #178, but that's the GitHub handle, and this field needs a WordPress.org username. profiles.wordpress.org/galatanovidiu/ 404s and ovidiu-galatan works. The parser drops names it can't find, so the GitHub handle would have credited nobody. Happy to change it if I've picked the wrong person.

Use of AI Tools

AI assistance: Yes

Model(s): Claude Opus 5
Used for: Writing the readme.txt text and turning the existing release notes into the inline changelog. I checked everything against the repo and against the .org readme parser, and I'm responsible for what's here.

Testing Instructions

  1. Put the raw readme through the readme validator.
  2. Run npm run plugin-zip and check that readme.txt and LICENSE.md are both in the zip.
  3. Check Stable tag matches Version in mcp-adapter.php. Both should be 0.6.1.
  4. Plugin Check runs in CI.

Every section is under the parser's limits. The biggest is Changelog, at 906 words out of 5,000.

Changelog Entry

Changed - Rebuilt readme.txt for the WordPress.org listing with the full changelog inline, and removed package.json and .gitattributes entries for files that aren't in the repo.

Follows WordPress/ai's structure and moves the full changelog inline so the .org Changelog tab isn't empty. Also drops the CHANGELOG.md entries that pointed at a file which never existed, and corrects LICENSE to LICENSE.md.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the plugin’s WordPress.org-facing metadata by rebuilding readme.txt to match WordPress.org expectations (installation instructions, FAQ, inline changelog, upgrade notices, contributors), and aligns packaging config so release artifacts include the correct license file and don’t reference non-existent files.

Changes:

  • Reworked readme.txt for WordPress.org: updated installation flow, added “For Developers” + FAQ, and inlined changelog + upgrade notices.
  • Updated npm packaging file list to include LICENSE.md (actual filename) and removed references to missing files.
  • Removed .gitattributes export-ignore entry for a non-existent CHANGELOG.md.
