ReleasePort's take
Light signalIn v0.8.2 the Sentence Transformers runtime dependency is now optional behind a `semantic` extra, reducing MCP's baseline footprint.
Why it matters: Optionalizing Sentence Transformers trims the default MCP runtime size; teams can keep dependencies only if needed.
Summary
AI summaryMoved local Sentence Transformers dependencies behind the optional semantic extra for a lighter MCP runtime.

- Keep the default MCP runtime lightweight by moving local Sentence Transformers dependencies behind the optional
semanticextra. - Preserve precomputed vector search without NumPy through a standard-library cosine fallback.
- Advertise the Noosphere package version in MCP
serverInfo.version. - Pin the supported MCP SDK 1.x boundary.
- Verify every published package through a clean anonymous
initialize + tools/listhandshake with all 45 tools.
Local release-candidate verification completed the anonymous handshake in 0.86 seconds without Torch, Transformers, SciPy, NumPy, or Sentence Transformers in the default environment.
