      "Excerpt": "3.0.0 ships with `mcp[cli]>=2.0.0,<2.1` — held deliberately, because the code performs surgery on 2.0.0 internals that a future 2.x could move without any public-API break. CI resolves the lockfile and stays green either way; fresh installs (pip/uvx, Smithery, Glama Docker) resolve the newest admitted wheel, which is the lockfile-masks-range-defects failure mode this project has hit before. Raising the ceiling is a deliberate bump PR that walks this checklist:\n\n- [x] ~~**`sdk_compat.py` ping shi",

Real `outputSchema` + `structuredContent` from the `tool_schemas.py` TypedDicts\n\nDropped originally for two reasons that are both gone: the FastMCP-1.x wrapper (replaced by SDK v2, which supports full JSON Schema 2020-12) and the token budget.

Part 2 is unrelated to that decision and is the only live content left, so it moves here.\n\n## The question\n\n`zim_search`'s input schema is flat: every mode's parameters are siblings, and which ones apply is described in prose. The alternative is a `oneOf` that makes the mode-conditional shape structural, so a client can only send a coherent combination.\n\nThe protocol constraint tha",
