What's New in v2.0

• Shared core architecture - Business logic separated into catalog/core/, powering both CLI and MCP
• MCP server - catalog mcp launches a stdio MCP server with 4 tools, ready for Claude Desktop and any MCP client
• JSON input - --json and --stdin flags for structured agent input
• Schema introspection - catalog schema --format json returns full request/response schemas
• Field masks - --fields sku,severity,details to reduce output size
• Pagination - --limit and --offset for controlling result size
• NDJSON streaming - --format ndjson for line-by-line streaming of large results
• Input hardening - Pydantic validation rejects path traversal, injection, and malformed input
• Environment variables - CATALOG_CLI_DEFAULT_FORMAT=json for headless/CI use
• Backward compatible - All v1.x commands work unchanged

• Agent-Native - CLI + MCP server as equal citizens, JSON/NDJSON output, schema introspection
• Fast - Query 1000+ SKU catalogs in seconds
• Extensible - Plugin system for custom queries
