description by replacing “improve the take it takes” with “reduce the time it

💡 Result:
Yes. The Formidable guide lists **Formidable Forms Pro and Formidable API Add-On 2.0** as requirements for connecting to an AI agent with MCP. It also requires an active subscription license and WordPress 6.9 or later.

Name the API Add-On as an MCP requirement.
The MCP server comes from the Formidable API Add-On 2.0 and requires Formidable Pro. The current wording can imply that Formidable Pro alone provides the server.

- Revert "Tested up to" to 7.1 (two-segment version) per @Crabcyborg: WordPress auto-matches the trailing patch release, so 6.35 remains compatible with 7.1.2 etc. without listing it explicitly - Trim changelog back to the most recent 3 versions (6.35, 6.34, 6.33.1) per @Crabcyborg: Strategy11 convention only lists 3-4 recent versions in the Lite readme, not full history - Mention "searchable database" explicitly in the Views description and Directories feature bullet, since a live blog post already targets this term and drives meaningful traffic but the readme never used the phrase Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Synchronize the plugin header before publishing 7.0.
readme.txt declares Stable tag: 7.0, but formidable.php still declares version 6.35. WordPress.org can select the 7.0 tag while the package reports 6.35, so users can receive stale version metadata and may not be offered the expected update. Run the documented release versioning step for 7.0 before deploying the tag.

Fix the 7.0 upgrade notice. It claims security fixes that the changelog does not list.
The notice says this version fixes security-related bugs and tells users to upgrade immediately. The 7.0 changelog (lines 365 to 397) has no Security: entries. The only Security: entries are under 6.35 (lines 400 to 401). Users will see an urgent security warning that the release notes do not support. Either add the matching 7.0 security entries or reword the notice.
