MCP
Exposes the MDMA spec (interactive Markdown applications with mounted components), authoring prompts, package metadata and live docs.
What can you do with MCP?
- [ ] If you added / renamed / changed descriptions of tools: Glama's Quality score will re-evaluate on its next periodic scan. No manual trigger.
- [ ] If
packages[0].versionbumped: go to the Glama admin page → update Build steps (npm install -g @mobile-reality/mdma-mcp@<version>) → Deploy → Make Release.

@mobile-reality/mdma-mcp
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for MDMA. Exposes the MDMA spec, authoring prompts, package metadata, and live GitHub documentation to AI assistants.
Tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
get-spec | Returns the full MDMA specification (component types, JSON schemas, binding syntax, external data sources with { source, params } refs and the rows / series / options kinds, authoring rules). |
get-prompt | Returns a named MDMA prompt (mdma-author, mdma-reviewer, mdma-fixer). For mdma-author, accepts an optional variantId (e.g. anthropic/sonnet-5.5, openai/gpt-6-sol) to return the model-optimised variant — use list-prompt-variants to see all available ids. |
list-prompt-variants | Returns all available MDMA_AUTHOR prompt variants (id, label, description) without the prompt content. Use the id with get-prompt to fetch the model-optimised prompt. |
build-system-prompt | Generates a custom MDMA prompt from structured input (domain, components, fields, steps, business rules). Pass dataSources (an external data-source catalog of rows / series / options entries) to get the full system prompt with the catalog and the rule to reference data via { source, params }. |
validate-prompt | Validates a custom prompt against MDMA conventions. |
list-packages | Returns all MDMA npm packages with purpose, install command, usage example, and category. |
list-docs | Returns the catalog of MDMA documentation files available for fetching from the public GitHub repo. |
get-doc | Fetches the latest version of a doc from raw.githubusercontent.com/MobileReality/mdma. Supports an optional ref (branch, tag, or SHA). |

Distribution venues
Places where MDMA's MCP server is published or should be published. Each venue has its own submission / update flow — when releasing a new version, check each one.
| Venue | Identifier / URL | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| npm | @mobile-reality/mdma-mcp | Publish via pnpm publish --access public --no-git-checks. |
| Official MCP Registry | io.github.MobileReality/mdma | Published via mcp-publisher. Namespace is case-sensitive — must match GitHub's canonical capitalization. |
| Glama | MobileReality/mdma | Quality + Security scores auto-evaluated periodically. Docker build config lives in the Glama admin page — re-deploy + re-release when bumping. |
| awesome-mcp-servers | punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers | Entry sits under Developer Tools alphabetically. |
| Smithery Skills | mobilereality/mdma | Skills surface — not the MCP surface (Smithery's MCP flow is HTTP-only, unusable for stdio). |
| MCP.so | mcp.so/server/mdma | Submitted by Mateusz Sadowski (shown as "Submitted by" on the public page), so Title / Description / Tags / Content are edited from that account. Without access, ask Mateusz Sadowski to edit it, or use the "Claim" button next to the server name (sign in first; the verification MCP.so requires is not documented here). The page lists the tools and the npx @mobile-reality/mdma-mcp command but no version, so a new release needs no change there unless the tool set or description changes. |
| MCPB Desktop Extensions | Anthropic intake form | Partner queue at Anthropic. Bundle built locally; not shipped in this repo. |
Release checklist — when bumping the version
Use this checklist every time you publish a new version (0.2.4 → 0.2.5, etc.).
1. Bump + test
- [ ] Update
versionin package.json. - [ ] Update
versionstring in src/index.ts (theMcpServer({ version: ... })call). - [ ] Update top-level
versionandpackages[0].versionin server.json. - [ ] Update top-level
versionandpackages[0].versionin manifest.json. - [ ] Add a changeset:
pnpm changesetat repo root. - [ ] Run
pnpm build && pnpm test && pnpm typecheckin this package. - [ ] Run
pnpm smoke:packin this package — it packs, installs the tarball into a clean directory and checkstools/listandget-specover stdio; it must printPASSbefore you publish.
2. Publish to npm
- [ ]
pnpm publish --access public --no-git-checksfrom this directory. - [ ] Verify:
npm view @mobile-reality/mdma-mcp version mcpName— both should match.
3. Publish to the MCP Registry
- [ ] Ensure
mcp-publisheris authenticated:mcp-publisher login github(re-auth if tokens expired). - [ ]
mcp-publisher publishfrom this directory.- Alternative: run the "Publish to MCP Registry" workflow from the Actions tab on
mainafter the npm publish. Interactivemcp-publisher login githubfails when the organization restricts OAuth apps; the workflow uses GitHub OIDC instead.
- Alternative: run the "Publish to MCP Registry" workflow from the Actions tab on
- [ ] Verify:
curl "https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0.1/servers?search=io.github.MobileReality/mdma"shows the new version.
Do not commit
.mcpregistry_github_token/.mcpregistry_registry_token— they are in .gitignore. GitHub's push protection will block the push anyway; this is a belt-and-braces reminder.
4. Tag the release
git tag '@mobile-reality/mdma-mcp@<version>'
git push origin '@mobile-reality/mdma-mcp@<version>'
5. Build a fresh MCPB bundle (only if submitting a Desktop Extension update)
pnpm's virtual store (.pnpm/) gets stripped by mcpb pack, so you must build the bundle from a clean npm-installed directory or transitive deps (e.g. ajv) will be missing.
Output: <name>-<version>.mcpb. Test-install in Claude Desktop, then attach as a GitHub Release asset.
6. Glama — if tool descriptions or Dockerfile config changed
- [ ] If you added / renamed / changed descriptions of tools: Glama's Quality score will re-evaluate on its next periodic scan. No manual trigger.
- [ ] If
packages[0].versionbumped: go to the Glama admin page → update Build steps (npm install -g @mobile-reality/mdma-mcp@<version>) → Deploy → Make Release.
7. Downstream awareness
- [ ] Update the MCP tools table in the root README.md if tools were added / renamed / removed.
- [ ] Update this package's own tools table (above) the same way.
- [ ] If tools changed: update the MCP.so listing, which is owned by another account (see the MCP.so row in Distribution venues).
- [ ] If a breaking change: note in the changeset; update consumers of
createMdmaMcpServer()if any.
Troubleshooting
MCP Registry publish fails with 403 Forbidden
If the error says permission to publish: io.github.gitsad/*, io.github.MobileReality/*. Attempting to publish: io.github.mobilereality/mdma (lowercase mismatch): the registry is case-sensitive and your mcpName / server.json name must exactly match GitHub's canonical MobileReality capitalization. Fix both files and republish to npm (versions on npm are immutable).
If the error says permission to publish: io.github.gitsad/* (org missing entirely): your MobileReality GitHub membership is private. Make it public at https://github.com/orgs/MobileReality/people, then mcp-publisher logout && mcp-publisher login github to refresh the JWT.
MCPB .mcpb crashes on install in Claude Desktop
Usually "missing module" errors in the Developer tab logs. Cause: pnpm's nested .pnpm/ virtual store got stripped at pack time, so transitive deps are missing. Fix: build the bundle from a clean npm-installed directory (see step 5 above). Do not run mcpb pack directly against packages/mcp/node_modules.
Secrets leaking into the bundle
mcpb pack does not respect .gitignore. Any .mcpregistry_*_token file next to the manifest at pack time gets zipped into the .mcpb. Always delete these before packing, and prefer the /tmp/mcpb-build workflow above which has no tokens in its directory.
