 ### Added
 
+- mcpc can now be installed with Homebrew on macOS and Linux: `brew install apify/tap/mcpc`. The formula brings its own Node.js, so no separate runtime setup is needed.
 - New `mcpc login <server> --grant id-jag` for MCP's [Enterprise-Managed Authorization](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/extensions/auth/enterprise-managed-authorization) extension: sign in once with your corporate SSO (`--idp <issuer>`), and mcpc obtains MCP server tokens via identity assertion grants (ID-JAG) without per-server consent screens.
 - Support for MCP protocol version 2026-07-28: mcpc now probes each server with `server/discover` and talks the new stateless protocol when supported, falling back to older protocol versions (2025-11-25 down to 2024-10-07) automatically. Resource subscriptions use the new `subscriptions/listen` stream (with automatic re-listen on drops), and `ping` transparently uses `server/discover` on 2026-07-28 servers. mcpc now uses the official TypeScript SDK v2 (`@modelcontextprotocol/client`).
 - `mcpc --json` now reports each session's server `capabilities`, plus `hasInstructions` to tell whether the server provided instructions (read them with `mcpc --json @<session>`).

 The script validates preconditions locally, then triggers the `release.yml` GitHub Actions workflow which handles: lint, build, test, version bump, changelog update, README update, git commit/tag/push, npm publish (with provenance), and GitHub release creation.
 
+The Homebrew formula lives in [apify/homebrew-tap](https://github.com/apify/homebrew-tap), not here, and its bump is **started manually for now** — the release workflow only prints the command in its run summary:
+
+```bash
+gh workflow run update_formula.yaml --repo apify/homebrew-tap \
+  --field package=mcpc --field npm_package=@apify/mcpc --field version=<version>
+```
+
+That workflow points `Formula/mcpc.rb` at the new npm tarball, installs and `brew test`s it on Linux and macOS, and merges the bump. Skipping it only leaves Homebrew users on the previous version; npm and Bun installs are unaffected.
