 ## Prerequisites
 
 - A reachable Hicortex server (default `http://localhost:8787`). Stand one up with `npx @gamaze/hicortex init`.
-- The server needs the REST `/search`, `/context`, `/lessons` endpoints (Hicortex ≥ 0.7).
+- The server needs the REST `/search`, `/recent`, `/lessons` endpoints (Hicortex ≥ 0.12 — this plugin version does not talk to older servers; upgrade the server first).
