Summary

  • Remove the bundled context7 MCP server from compound-engineering — it was force-loaded for all users but added friction (API key setup, rate-limit issues, auto-load bugs) without enough value to justify bundling
  • Users who want context7 can add it to their own .claude/settings.json
  • Handle missing .mcp.json gracefully in release metadata counting

Changes

  • Delete plugins/compound-engineering/.mcp.json
  • Remove mcpServers from .claude-plugin/plugin.json and .cursor-plugin/plugin.json
  • Remove MCP Servers docs, Known Issues section, and stray auth line from README
  • Add try/catch in countMcpServers() so a missing .mcp.json returns 0 instead of throwing

Test plan

  • bun test — 581 tests pass
  • bun run release:validate — reports 0 MCP servers

Context7 was force-loaded for all plugin users but added friction
(API key setup, rate-limit issues, auto-load bugs) without enough
value to justify bundling. Users who want it can add it themselves.

- Delete .mcp.json
- Remove mcpServers from claude and cursor plugin manifests
- Remove MCP Servers section, Known Issues, and stray auth line from README
- Handle missing .mcp.json gracefully in countMcpServers

Bare catch swallowed all errors including malformed JSON or permission
