Development

npm ci
npm test

npm test builds the TypeScript package and runs MCP contract tests for auth handling, tool metadata, and handler routing.

Releases

This package uses Changesets and SemVer.

- Patch: bug fixes, docs, tests, internal hardening.
- Minor: new backwards-compatible MCP tools or capabilities.
- Major: breaking tool names, schemas, auth, or transport behavior.

Every PR that changes the published package should include a changeset:

npm run changeset

After the PR merges to main, GitHub Actions opens a release PR with the version bump and changelog. Merging that release PR publishes the package to npm and creates the GitHub release. The Cloud Run deploy workflow also runs on main, so hosted MCP updates automatically after release merges.
