+# Release Process
+
+This document describes the release process for @vuetify/mcp.
+
+## Release Process
+
+The project uses [release-it](https://github.com/release-it/release-it) with conventional commits to automate version determination and changelog generation.
+
+### Release Commands
+
+```bash
+# Automatic release (determines version bump from conventional commits)
+pnpm release
+
+# Then push the changes and tag to trigger CI
+git push --follow-tags
+
+# Dry run to see what version would be bumped
+pnpm release:dry
+```
+
+### Automatic Version Detection
+
+The release process automatically determines the version bump based on your conventional commits since the last release:
+
+- **patch** (0.1.1 → 0.1.2): `fix:` and `perf:` commits
+- **minor** (0.1.1 → 0.2.0): `feat:` commits
+- **major** (0.1.1 → 1.0.0): commits with `BREAKING CHANGE:` in footer or `!` after type (e.g., `feat!: breaking change`)
+
+### What happens during release
+
+1. **Local (pnpm release)**:
+   - Analyzes commits to determine version bump
+   - Updates package.json version
+   - Updates CHANGELOG.md with new entries
+   - Creates git commit and tag
+
+2. **After git push --follow-tags**:
+   - CI workflow triggers on the new tag
+   - Project is built
+   - Package is published to npm
+   - GitHub release is created automatically
+
+### Commit Convention
+
+Use conventional commits for automatic changelog generation:
+
+- `feat:` New features
+- `fix:` Bug fixes
+- `docs:` Documentation changes
+- `style:` Code style changes
+- `refactor:` Code refactoring
+- `perf:` Performance improvements
+- `test:` Test updates
+- `chore:` Build process or auxiliary tool changes
+
+Example: `feat: add support for Vuetify 3.5`
