Summary

  • Adds a step to the publish workflow that detects if the version contains -beta
  • When a beta version is detected, publishes with --tag beta instead of the default latest
  • Stable releases remain unchanged (no --tag argument)

How to use

  1. Update package.json version to e.g., 1.23.0-beta.0
  2. Create PR, approve, merge to main
  3. Create a GitHub Release with tag matching the version 1.23.0-beta.0
  4. Workflow publishes to npm beta tag
  5. Users install via npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@beta

Test plan

  • Create a test release with a beta version to verify the workflow correctly adds --tag beta

When the version in package.json contains "-beta", the publish
workflow will now use `npm publish --tag beta` instead of publishing
to the latest tag. This allows beta versions to be released without
affecting users on the stable channel.
