description: Suggest an improvement to the Inspector
# `v2` is safe to declare statically here: v1 takes security fixes only and
# cannot receive a feature, so a feature request is v2 by construction. The bug
# form can't do this — its version line is a reporter's answer, and `labels:`
# is static.
labels: ["enhancement", "v2"]

        Thanks for suggesting an improvement.

        **Maintainers do the implementation here** — this repository accepts
        **issues, not pull requests**
        ([`CONTRIBUTING.md`](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md)).
        That makes a sharply-stated **problem** the most valuable thing you can
        give us: it is what we design against, and it survives after a specific
        solution turns out not to fit.

        So please describe the problem first, and treat the solution section as
        one possible answer rather than the request itself.

        > **This form targets v2.** The v1 line is deprecated and takes
        > **security fixes only** — it does not take new features.
