# Project Overview
This is an MCP server offering HiGHS optimization tools to LLMs.
## Knope
In this project, we're keeping track of changes using Knope. Claude itself is
not capable of using the `knope` tool, so whenever we want Claude to define a
changeset, it needs to build it by hand. Here are some of the rules to take into
account:
- Changeset files live in the `.changeset` directory.
- Changeset files must have a unique name.
- Typically the name of the file is snake-cased, lower characters, with a `.md`
suffix.
- Knope typically generates a file that is based on the first readable line in
the body description of the changeset, abbreviating it, lowercasing it all and
snake-casing it. It wouldn't hurt to maintain that convention.
- The body of the markdown file typically starts with a one line summary of the change, formatted as a title.
```markdown
# Add support for version 3.0 of jquery
```
- The frontmatter should look like this:
```
---
default: major|minor|patch
---
```
- The specific type: 'major', 'minor', or 'patch' should be based on an
assesment of the character of the changes that are documented in that changeset.
- Breaking changes: 'major'
- Feature enhancements: 'minor'
- Bug fixes and alike: 'patch'
### Feature example
```markdown
---
default: minor
---
# Add sparse matrix support
Implemented COO format sparse matrix handling for improved memory efficiency
with large optimization problems.
```
### Breaking change example
```markdown
---
default: major
---
# Restructure MCP server API endpoints
Renamed optimization endpoints and changed request/response format
for better consistency with MCP standards.
```
