Package was missing critical files for NPM publication and had security vulnerabilities blocking release.

Changes

Critical fixes:

  • Added MIT LICENSE file (referenced in package.json but missing)
  • Fixed 2 security vulnerabilities via dependency updates:
    • @modelcontextprotocol/sdk → v1.24.0+ (DNS rebinding)
    • body-parser (DoS vulnerability)

Publishing documentation:

  • docs/NPM_PUBLISHING.md - Consolidated guide covering publishing steps, automation options, and maintenance (5.5KB)
    • Quick publish steps (TL;DR)
    • Prerequisites and setup
    • Pre-publish checklist
    • Version management
    • Manual vs automated publishing (with GitHub Actions workflow example)
    • Post-publish steps
    • Common beginner mistakes
    • Troubleshooting

README updates:

  • Added "For Package Maintainers" section linking to publishing guide

Package Status

Ready for publication:

  • ✅ 0 vulnerabilities (was 2)
  • ✅ LICENSE included in distribution
  • ✅ Tests pass (11/11)
  • ✅ Build succeeds
  • ✅ Package name available (previously unpublished 2025-06-21)
  • ✅ 96.7 KB packed, 438.2 KB unpacked

Automated Publishing

Documented GitHub Actions workflow for NPM automation with security considerations. Manual publishing recommended - automation adds complexity and security risks for minimal benefit unless publishing very frequently.

Next Steps

npm login
npm publish --otp=123456
git tag -a v1.1.1 -m "Release v1.1.1"
git push origin v1.1.1

See docs/NPM_PUBLISHING.md for complete guide.

@copilot review docs

  1. there seems to be some repetition or a bit of doc volume, keep it KISS while keeping it useful.
  2. extra: see if automatic deployment of npm on a schedule is something that is recommended or not (else manual intervention is really the only option ?)

1) Documentation simplified:

  • Consolidated 5 files (57KB) → 1 file (5.5KB) - 90% reduction
  • Removed repetition, kept KISS principle
  • Single guide covers all essentials

2) Automated NPM publishing:

  • Added GitHub Actions workflow example
  • Documented setup with NPM tokens
  • Recommendation: Manual publishing preferred - automation adds security risks and complexity for minimal benefit unless publishing very frequently
  • Most packages use manual publishing (better control, security with 2FA)
