+# Changelog
+
+Notable changes, newest first. The format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/),
+and versions follow [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/); before 1.0, a minor version may
+change behaviour.
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-09-30
+
+The first public release.
+
+### Added
+
+- `toolrank ingest mcp | openapi | drop`: MCP servers (stdio and streamable HTTP) and OpenAPI 3.x
+  specs into an ingest directory; a re-run syncs only what changed and embeds only new or changed
+  tools.
+- `toolrank search`: Qwen3-Embedding-8B with the packaged heads, adaptive K, and a persistent
+  vector index (numpy, FAISS HNSW or pgvector).
+- `toolrank serve`: an MCP proxy with two tools, `search_tools` and `call_tool`, in front of every
+  ingested tool; a REST API (`/v1/search`, `/v1/rank`, `/v1/call`, `/v1/tools`); API keys; a usage
+  log that ties each call to the search that found the tool.
+- Tool search for Claude's Messages API (`tool_reference`) and OpenAI's Responses API (client-side
+  `tool_search`).
+- Framework adapters: LangGraph (langgraph-bigtool retrieval), LlamaIndex (a tool retriever) and
+  the LiteLLM proxy (a tool filter).
+- `toolrank finetune`: heads trained on your own request-to-tool pairs, the epoch picked on a
+  dev set.
+- `toolrank eval` and `toolrank compare`: ToolRet, LiveMCPBench and MCP-Zero under ToolRet's
+  protocol.
+- `toolrank heads pull`; the `toolrank` Docker image (amd64, arm64), a Dockerfile that bundles vLLM,
+  and compose examples for both.

+# toolrank
+
+**Tool retrieval for LLM agents with hundreds of tools.** Instead of putting every tool definition
+into the prompt, toolrank picks the few a request needs, with an embedding model
+(Qwen3-Embedding-8B) and small learned heads on top of it, and serves them to your agent over MCP or
+REST. Every retriever it ships is measured on the same public benchmarks.
+
+Status: **alpha (0.1)**; interfaces may still change. Documentation: <https://yasinyaman.github.io/toolrank/>
+
+## Quick start
+
+Index MCP servers or OpenAPI specs, then serve them to any MCP client as two tools, `search_tools`
+and `call_tool`:
+
+```bash
+pip install "toolrank[mcp]"
+toolrank heads pull                                   # the packaged heads (60 MB)
+toolrank ingest mcp --server time="uvx mcp-server-time" --out tools/
+toolrank serve --data tools/                          # MCP at http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp, REST at /v1
+```
+
+toolrank ranks with Qwen3-Embedding-8B served by vLLM (`--emb-url`, by default
+`http://127.0.0.1:8091/v1`). On a GPU host, Docker runs both:
+
+```bash
+cd deploy/docker && cp .env.example .env              # set TOOLRANK_API_KEY
+docker compose run --rm toolrank ingest mcp --config /config/toolrank.json --out /data
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+The [quick start](https://yasinyaman.github.io/toolrank/quickstart/) connects Claude Code, Claude Desktop and REST clients.
+
+## Results
+
+Retrieval quality on three benchmarks, every number from `toolrank eval` under ToolRet's protocol
+(the reports are in [`docs/results/`](https://github.com/yasinyaman/toolrank/tree/main/docs/results);
+`scripts/readme_table.py` checks each one before it prints it).

+- ToolRet: 7,961 queries over 44,453 tools, top 100 over the whole corpus. *NDCG@10* is the micro-average of the paper's released code; *cat-macro* is the paper's own aggregation (the mean of the web, code and customized categories) and the only column with published numbers. Our BM25 reproduces the paper's BM25s within 0.1 (22.24 / 36.41 against 22.32 / 36.46).
+- LiveMCPBench (94 queries, 525 tools) and MCP-Zero (2,792 tools): the tool text includes the MCP server's name (`toolrank data server-names`). One LiveMCPBench query is about one point. MCP-Zero ships no queries: ours were written by Qwen3-8B, one per tool (`toolrank data pull mcp-zero`), so its column does not compare with the MCP-Zero paper. Top-1 is Precision@1.
+- *With instruction*, each query carries its task's instruction (ToolRet) or a generic one (the MCP sets), as the embedding model is served; the generic instruction costs BM25 on the MCP sets. BM25 is bm25s without stemming, the paper's setting.
+- The heads (29.9M parameters, `docs/heads/MODEL_CARD.md`) were trained on ToolRet's training pairs, so ToolRet is in-domain for them and the MCP sets are not. On MCP-Zero, BM25 without instruction still wins at top-1: each generated query opens with a `server:` line that usually names the server, and exact matching rewards that.
+- FP8: the bf16 weights quantized as vLLM loads them (`--quantization fp8`). Every column is within a query or two of bf16, at about half the weight memory and batch-1 latency.
+- Reproduce: `bash scripts/readme_results.sh` where Qwen3-Embedding-8B is served (reports in `docs/results/`), then `uv run python scripts/readme_table.py --write`.
+<!-- results:end -->
+
+## What's inside
+
+- **Ingestion** of MCP servers (stdio and streamable HTTP) and OpenAPI 3.x specs; a re-run syncs only
+  what changed. [Guide](https://yasinyaman.github.io/toolrank/guides/ingest/)
+- **Search and serve**: adaptive K, a persistent vector index (numpy, FAISS HNSW or pgvector), an MCP
+  proxy with two tools, a REST API, API keys and a usage log. [Guide](https://yasinyaman.github.io/toolrank/guides/serve/)
+- **Agent platforms**: toolrank as Claude's (`tool_reference`) and OpenAI's (client-side
+  `tool_search`) tool search. [Guide](https://yasinyaman.github.io/toolrank/guides/platforms/)
+- **Frameworks**: LangGraph (langgraph-bigtool), LlamaIndex agents and the LiteLLM proxy.
+  [Guide](https://yasinyaman.github.io/toolrank/guides/frameworks/)
+- **Fine-tuning**: heads trained on your own request-to-tool pairs, the epoch picked on a dev set.
+  [Guide](https://yasinyaman.github.io/toolrank/guides/finetune/)
+- **Benchmarks**: ToolRet, LiveMCPBench and MCP-Zero with BM25, dense and head scorers (and CLM, for
+  comparison). [Benchmarks](https://yasinyaman.github.io/toolrank/benchmarks/)
+- **Docker**: the `toolrank` image for amd64 and arm64, compose files with vLLM, and a Dockerfile
+  that puts vLLM and toolrank in one container.
+  [Guide](https://yasinyaman.github.io/toolrank/guides/docker/)
+
+## Why
+
+- **Tool definitions are expensive context.** Anthropic measured 58 tools at about 55K tokens per
+  request and reports tool-selection accuracy falling past 30 to 50 tools. RAG-MCP lifted
+  selection accuracy from 13.6% to 43.1% on a large MCP set by retrieving tools first.
+- **Hosted tool searches are tied to one model provider or cloud, and most are lexical.** toolrank
+  is model-agnostic and runs on your own hardware.

+# toolrank
+
+**Tool retrieval for LLM agents with hundreds of tools.** Instead of putting every tool definition
+into the prompt, toolrank picks the few a request needs, with an embedding model
+(Qwen3-Embedding-8B) and small learned heads on top of it, and serves them to your agent over MCP or
+REST. Every retriever it ships is measured on the same public benchmarks.
+
+Status: **alpha (0.1)**; interfaces may still change. Documentation: <https://yasinyaman.github.io/toolrank/>
+
+## Quick start
+
+Index MCP servers or OpenAPI specs, then serve them to any MCP client as two tools, `search_tools`
+and `call_tool`:
+
+```bash
+pip install "toolrank[mcp]"
+toolrank heads pull                                   # the packaged heads (60 MB)
+toolrank ingest mcp --server time="uvx mcp-server-time" --out tools/
+toolrank serve --data tools/                          # MCP at http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp, REST at /v1
+```
+
+toolrank ranks with Qwen3-Embedding-8B served by vLLM (`--emb-url`, by default
+`http://127.0.0.1:8091/v1`). On a GPU host, Docker runs both:
+
+```bash
+cd deploy/docker && cp .env.example .env              # set TOOLRANK_API_KEY
+docker compose run --rm toolrank ingest mcp --config /config/toolrank.json --out /data
+docker compose up -d
+```
+
+The [quick start](https://yasinyaman.github.io/toolrank/quickstart/) connects Claude Code, Claude Desktop and REST clients.
+
+## Results
+
+Retrieval quality on three benchmarks, every number from `toolrank eval` under ToolRet's protocol
+(the reports are in [`docs/results/`](https://github.com/yasinyaman/toolrank/tree/main/docs/results);
+`scripts/readme_table.py` checks each one before it prints it).

+- ToolRet: 7,961 queries over 44,453 tools, top 100 over the whole corpus. *NDCG@10* is the micro-average of the paper's released code; *cat-macro* is the paper's own aggregation (the mean of the web, code and customized categories) and the only column with published numbers. Our BM25 reproduces the paper's BM25s within 0.1 (22.24 / 36.41 against 22.32 / 36.46).
+- LiveMCPBench (94 queries, 525 tools) and MCP-Zero (2,792 tools): the tool text includes the MCP server's name (`toolrank data server-names`). One LiveMCPBench query is about one point. MCP-Zero ships no queries: ours were written by Qwen3-8B, one per tool (`toolrank data pull mcp-zero`), so its column does not compare with the MCP-Zero paper. Top-1 is Precision@1.
+- *With instruction*, each query carries its task's instruction (ToolRet) or a generic one (the MCP sets), as the embedding model is served; the generic instruction costs BM25 on the MCP sets. BM25 is bm25s without stemming, the paper's setting.
+- The heads (29.9M parameters, `docs/heads/MODEL_CARD.md`) were trained on ToolRet's training pairs, so ToolRet is in-domain for them and the MCP sets are not. On MCP-Zero, BM25 without instruction still wins at top-1: each generated query opens with a `server:` line that usually names the server, and exact matching rewards that.
+- FP8: the bf16 weights quantized as vLLM loads them (`--quantization fp8`). Every column is within a query or two of bf16, at about half the weight memory and batch-1 latency.
+- Reproduce: `bash scripts/readme_results.sh` where Qwen3-Embedding-8B is served (reports in `docs/results/`), then `uv run python scripts/readme_table.py --write`.

+
+## What's inside
+
+- **Ingestion** of MCP servers (stdio and streamable HTTP) and OpenAPI 3.x specs; a re-run syncs only
+  what changed. [Guide](https://yasinyaman.github.io/toolrank/guides/ingest/)
+- **Search and serve**: adaptive K, a persistent vector index (numpy, FAISS HNSW or pgvector), an MCP
+  proxy with two tools, a REST API, API keys and a usage log. [Guide](https://yasinyaman.github.io/toolrank/guides/serve/)
+- **Agent platforms**: toolrank as Claude's (`tool_reference`) and OpenAI's (client-side
+  `tool_search`) tool search. [Guide](https://yasinyaman.github.io/toolrank/guides/platforms/)
+- **Frameworks**: LangGraph (langgraph-bigtool), LlamaIndex agents and the LiteLLM proxy.
+  [Guide](https://yasinyaman.github.io/toolrank/guides/frameworks/)
+- **Fine-tuning**: heads trained on your own request-to-tool pairs, the epoch picked on a dev set.
+  [Guide](https://yasinyaman.github.io/toolrank/guides/finetune/)
+- **Benchmarks**: ToolRet, LiveMCPBench and MCP-Zero with BM25, dense and head scorers (and CLM, for
+  comparison). [Benchmarks](https://yasinyaman.github.io/toolrank/benchmarks/)
+- **Docker**: the `toolrank` image for amd64 and arm64, compose files with vLLM, and a Dockerfile
+  that puts vLLM and toolrank in one container.
+  [Guide](https://yasinyaman.github.io/toolrank/guides/docker/)
+
+## Why
+
+- **Tool definitions are expensive context.** Anthropic measured 58 tools at about 55K tokens per
+  request and reports tool-selection accuracy falling past 30 to 50 tools. RAG-MCP lifted
+  selection accuracy from 13.6% to 43.1% on a large MCP set by retrieving tools first.
+- **Hosted tool searches are tied to one model provider or cloud, and most are lexical.** toolrank
+  is model-agnostic and runs on your own hardware.
+- **Small heads on a frozen embedding model** (29.9M parameters for the request and the tool side
+  together). You embed your tools once and rank with one dot product. The heads start as the
+  identity, so heads fine-tuned on your data start from the base model's quality, not below it.
