+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+
+- **MCP (Model Context Protocol) Agent Groundwork (Internal)**: Scaffolded a standalone MCP server inside `locallens_mcp_agent/` to enable future local chat tooling (no user-facing UI shipped yet).
+- Added `/api/stats` endpoint to the FastAPI backend to supply summary metrics for internal diagnostics and MCP tool clients.
+- FastAPI backend now exports its bound network port to `APP_DATA_DIR/port.txt` so local tool clients can connect without hardcoded ports.

 ## [2.3.0] - 2026-04-03
