datasette-mcp 0.2

Datasette-mcp 0.2, the first non-alpha release of the plugin, changes the "rows" output from execute_sql to an array of objects instead of arrays, aiding weaker models in mapping columns. The release now depends on mcp>=2.1.1.

Release: datasette-mcp 0.2 "rows"

fromexecute_sql

is now an array of objects. Previously it was an array of arrays. This should help weaker models avoid losing track of which positional array element maps to which column.[#1]- Now depends on

mcp>=2.1.1 .

This is the first non-alpha release of the plugin. I'm confident it's ready as I've been using it quite a bit myself.
