@mobile-reality/mdma-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for MDMA. Exposes the MDMA spec, authoring prompts, package metadata, and live GitHub documentation to AI assistants.

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`get-spec`	Returns the full MDMA specification (component types, JSON schemas, binding syntax, authoring rules).
`get-prompt`	Returns a named MDMA prompt (`mdma-author`, `mdma-reviewer`, `mdma-fixer`).
`build-system-prompt`	Generates a custom MDMA prompt from structured input (domain, components, fields, steps, business rules).
`validate-prompt`	Validates a custom prompt against MDMA conventions.
`list-packages`	Returns all MDMA npm packages with purpose, install command, usage example, and category.
`list-docs`	Returns the catalog of MDMA documentation files available for fetching from the public GitHub repo.
`get-doc`	Fetches the latest version of a doc from `raw.githubusercontent.com/MobileReality/mdma`. Supports an optional `ref` (branch, tag, or SHA).

Install

Distribution venues

Places where MDMA's MCP server is published or should be published. Each venue has its own submission / update flow — when releasing a new version, check each one.

Venue	Identifier / URL	Notes
npm	`@mobile-reality/mdma-mcp`	Publish via `pnpm publish --access public --no-git-checks`.
Official MCP Registry	`io.github.MobileReality/mdma`	Published via `mcp-publisher`. Namespace is case-sensitive — must match GitHub's canonical capitalization.
Glama		Quality + Security scores auto-evaluated periodically. Docker build config lives in the Glama admin page — re-deploy + re-release when bumping.
awesome-mcp-servers	`punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers`	Entry sits under Developer Tools alphabetically.
Smithery Skills	`mobilereality/mdma`	Skills surface — not the MCP surface (Smithery's MCP flow is HTTP-only, unusable for stdio).
MCPB Desktop Extensions	Anthropic intake form	Partner queue at Anthropic. Bundle built locally; not shipped in this repo.

Release checklist — when bumping the version

Use this checklist every time you publish a new version (0.2.4 → 0.2.5, etc.).

1. Bump + test

[ ] Update version in package.json.
[ ] Update version string in src/index.ts (the McpServer({ version: ... }) call).
[ ] Update top-level version and packages[0].version in server.json.
[ ] Update top-level version and packages[0].version in manifest.json.
[ ] Add a changeset: pnpm changeset at repo root.
[ ] Run pnpm build && pnpm test && pnpm typecheck in this package.

2. Publish to npm

[ ] pnpm publish --access public --no-git-checks from this directory.
[ ] Verify: npm view @mobile-reality/mdma-mcp version mcpName — both should match.

3. Publish to the MCP Registry

[ ] Ensure mcp-publisher is authenticated: mcp-publisher login github (re-auth if tokens expired).
[ ] mcp-publisher publish from this directory.
[ ] Verify: curl "https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0.1/servers?search=io.github.MobileReality/mdma" shows the new version.

Do not commit .mcpregistry_github_token / .mcpregistry_registry_token — they are in .gitignore. GitHub's push protection will block the push anyway; this is a belt-and-braces reminder.

4. Tag the release

git tag '@mobile-reality/mdma-mcp@<version>'
git push origin '@mobile-reality/mdma-mcp@<version>'

5. Build a fresh MCPB bundle (only if submitting a Desktop Extension update)

pnpm's virtual store (.pnpm/) gets stripped by mcpb pack, so you must build the bundle from a clean npm-installed directory or transitive deps (e.g. ajv) will be missing.

Output: <name>-<version>.mcpb. Test-install in Claude Desktop, then attach as a GitHub Release asset.

7. Downstream awareness

[ ] Update the MCP tools table in the root README.md if tools were added / renamed / removed.
[ ] Update this package's own tools table (above) the same way.
[ ] If a breaking change: note in the changeset; update consumers of createMdmaMcpServer() if any.

Troubleshooting

MCP Registry publish fails with 403 Forbidden

If the error says permission to publish: io.github.gitsad/*, io.github.MobileReality/*. Attempting to publish: io.github.mobilereality/mdma (lowercase mismatch): the registry is case-sensitive and your mcpName / server.json name must exactly match GitHub's canonical MobileReality capitalization. Fix both files and republish to npm (versions on npm are immutable).

If the error says permission to publish: io.github.gitsad/* (org missing entirely): your MobileReality GitHub membership is private. Make it public at https://github.com/orgs/MobileReality/people, then mcp-publisher logout && mcp-publisher login github to refresh the JWT.

MCPB `.mcpb` crashes on install in Claude Desktop

Usually "missing module" errors in the Developer tab logs. Cause: pnpm's nested .pnpm/ virtual store got stripped at pack time, so transitive deps are missing. Fix: build the bundle from a clean npm-installed directory (see step 5 above). Do not run mcpb pack directly against packages/mcp/node_modules.

Secrets leaking into the bundle

mcpb pack does not respect .gitignore. Any .mcpregistry_*_token file next to the manifest at pack time gets zipped into the .mcpb. Always delete these before packing, and prefer the /tmp/mcpb-build workflow above which has no tokens in its directory.
