- **changed** — Replace hand-written MCP implementation with OpenAPI-driven tool surface including memo, comment, relation, reaction, shortcut, identity, and attachment operations with attachment uploads
- **added** — Support identity providers and instance settings supplied as validated JSON files under /etc/secrets with file-backed settings as runtime overrides
- **added** — Add persisted controls for memo feed column layout (one, two, three, or auto-fitted), compact mode, and link previews with balanced multi-column layout

###### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES

* **Access control:** Instances without `--instance-url` (or `MEMOS_INSTANCE_URL`) now run in private mode. Anonymous visitors are sent to sign-in and anonymous API access is limited to setup, authentication, and shared-memo routes. Set the instance URL to retain the previous public behavior. ([d1cef7a](https://github.com/usememos/memos/commit/d1cef7a9ab23e8c93f76b2f32661c720c733536d))
* **Filters:** `now()` has been replaced by the `now` timestamp variable, and time fields now use CEL timestamps. Update saved shortcuts to use expressions such as `created_ts >= now - duration("24h")` or `timestamp(<epoch>)` instead of comparing time fields with bare epoch values. ([26f4b73](https://github.com/usememos/memos/commit/26f4b73cb9a996f9232daad2b5daa34360742697))
* **MCP:** The MCP server is now a stateless, tools-only endpoint generated from the OpenAPI schema. The previous prompts, resources, tool-filtering headers and route aliases, and unprefixed tool names have been removed. Clients that used them must switch to `/mcp` and the new service-prefixed tool names. ([#6026](https://github.com/usememos/memos/issues/6026))

###### Highlights

* **Markdown editor:** Rebuilt the editor as a single CodeMirror 6 decorated-source editor. Markdown is preserved verbatim while headings, formatting, tags, and mentions are styled in place. The editor also adds tag completion, list indentation, and a toggleable formatting toolbar with headings, lists, task lists, code blocks, bold, italic, strikethrough, and inline code. ([5a73d7d](https://github.com/usememos/memos/commit/5a73d7d3e56f853a965207ac709e8f5e84918959)) ([e3c231f](https://github.com/usememos/memos/commit/e3c231fcac5691f9590a5d685bdebec23b73be35))
* **MCP:** Replaced the hand-written MCP implementation with a curated OpenAPI-driven tool surface that reuses the public API's authentication and authorization. The final toolset includes memo, comment, relation, reaction, shortcut, identity, and attachment operations, including attachment uploads. ([777d227](https://github.com/usememos/memos/commit/777d227eb992c4feccd5d78c781cf8e9094e38de)) ([0e1d821](https://github.com/usememos/memos/commit/0e1d821fb84310feff40b90d899403d45bced596))
* **Deployment configuration:** Identity providers and supported instance settings can be supplied as validated JSON files under `/etc/secrets`. File-backed settings act as runtime overrides and cannot be changed through the UI or API until the files are removed. ([0038295](https://github.com/usememos/memos/commit/0038295bbc772b38425b6c7f9ca814e4d1e44260))
* **Memo feeds:** Added persisted controls for one, two, three, or automatically fitted columns; compact mode; and link previews. Multi-column feeds stay balanced as cards resize, while newly created memos remain easy to find above pinned content. ([177d65a](https://github.com/usememos/memos/commit/177d65a90e321fa975a7cf19bd3c075143af5c10)) ([e3e4ae1](https://github.com/usememos/memos/commit/e3e4ae10512f514f71729779b5096d0d591c8cf4))
* **Webhooks:** Added Standard Webhooks HMAC-SHA256 signing secrets, webhook editing, and a signing-status indicator. Secrets are generated server-side, shown after creation, and can be revealed later from the edit dialog; malformed secrets now fail validation. ([#6013](https://github.com/usememos/memos/issues/6013)) ([#6027](https://github.com/usememos/memos/issues/6027))
* **Filters:** Expanded CEL shortcuts with string matching, regular expressions, collection predicates, timestamp accessors, set operations, and an untagged-memos example. ([f0e4a56](https://github.com/usememos/memos/commit/f0e4a5624f4371e08fb0c41510891c9f8cce6ba0)) ([b787bfa](https://github.com/usememos/memos/commit/b787bfa75f74d8ee5ec271bd308c2e5a0389ed35))
* **Tag settings:** Tag colors and content-blur rules are now per-user. Existing instance tag settings are copied to current users during migration. ([#6017](https://github.com/usememos/memos/issues/6017))
* **Intern
