Conversation
Smithery supports local stdio via MCPB bundles. Add mcpb/ packaging (npx/PATH launcher, multi-platform), make pack-mcpb, and a soft-skip publish-smithery workflow gated on SMITHERY_API_KEY. Closes #633 Signed-off-by: Sebastien Tardif <sebtardif@ncf.ca>

Hosts SIGTERM the PATH patchloom process when closing a session. The previous launcher treated any non-zero path exit as "try npx", which could start a second server. Probe PATH with which/where first; only fall back to npx when patchloom is absent. Signed-off-by: Sebastien Tardif <sebtardif@ncf.ca>

## Summary Replace the broken `smithery mcp publish` CLI (1.2.0 returns 400 "No values to set" for stdio MCPB) with a REST-based publisher script that matches the API shape that already works for live listing. ## Changes - Add `scripts/publish-smithery.sh` (PUT releases with empty tool lists + multipart bundle) - Point `publish-smithery.yml` at the script; stop installing the Smithery CLI - Update docs (`mcp-setup.md`, `mcpb/README.md`, `REPO-SETUP.md`) for the REST path and secret setup ## Context - Namespace `patchloom` claimed; live server: https://smithery.ai/servers/patchloom/patchloom - `SMITHERY_API_KEY` is set on the repo - MCPB packaging already landed via PR #1867 ## Test plan - [x] Script published successfully against Smithery REST API (live listing present) - [ ] CI soft-skip path still works when secret is unset (no behavior change for missing key) - [ ] Next release publish job uses the script instead of CLI --------- Signed-off-by: Sebastien Tardif <sebtardif@ncf.ca>

## Summary Hardens the MCPB / Smithery pack path after #1867–#1869: - `scripts/pack-mcpb.sh` honors `$VERSION` over Cargo.toml (CI no longer rewrites Cargo.toml on disk) - `PACK_MCPB_PRINT_VERSION_ONLY=1` for unit tests without a full pack - Workflow pins `@anthropic-ai/mcpb@2.1.2` and passes `VERSION` into pack - `make pack-mcpb-test` + `scripts/test_pack_mcpb.py` (manifest/package.json/npx args stamp; skips full pack if `mcpb` missing) - Docs: AGENTS, REPO-SETUP, mcp-setup ## Test plan - [x] `make pack-mcpb-test` (3 tests ok with mcpb present) - [x] `VERSION=0.0.0-manual bash scripts/pack-mcpb.sh` stamps package.json - [x] Empty `VERSION=` falls back to Cargo.toml version Signed-off-by: Sebastien Tardif <sebtardif@ncf.ca>

Unblocks Smithery listing for Patchloom via the local MCPB path (stdio). Older issue notes assumed HTTPS-only; Smithery now documents MCPB for local servers, and Patchloom already has Streamable HTTP (
