  • Simon Willison announced the release of datasette-mcp 0.2, a plugin that integrates a Model-Context-Protocol (MCP) server directly into any Datasette instance.
  • A key update in this version is that “rows” from execute_sql are now returned as an array of objects, rather than an array of arrays.
  • This change in data formatting is specifically intended to help “weaker models” avoid losing track of which positional array element maps to which column.
  • This marks the first non-alpha release of the plugin, indicating its stability and readiness, and it now depends on mcp>=2.1.1.
