@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). For mdma-author, accepts an optional variantId (e.g. google/gemini-2.5-pro) to return the model-optimised variant — use list-prompt-variants to see all available ids. |
| list-prompt-variants | Returns all available MDMA_AUTHOR prompt variants (id, label, description) without the prompt content. Use the id with get-prompt to fetch the model-optimised prompt. |
| 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). |

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 | MobileReality/mdma | 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). |
| MCP.so | mcp.so/server/mdma | Self-serve listing. Manual edit of Title / Description / Tags / Content on the Edit Server page. No versioned republish needed — just refresh the description if the tool set changes. |
| 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.

6. Glama — if tool descriptions or Dockerfile config changed

- [ ] If you added / renamed / changed descriptions of tools: Glama's Quality score will re-evaluate on its next periodic scan. No manual trigger.
- [ ] If packages[0].version bumped: go to the Glama admin page → update Build steps (npm install -g @mobile-reality/mdma-mcp@<version>) → Deploy → Make Release.

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 tools changed: refresh the manual listing on MCP.so (Edit Server → Description / Content).
- [ ] 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 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.
