description	Release workflow — release-please, npm publish, server.json version sync, and MCP registry publishing.

What I do

I know the release process for the Figma-Context-MCP npm package.

Trigger

Push to main branch triggers .github/workflows/release.yml.

Workflow steps

1. Release Please (googleapis/release-please-action@v4)

   • Opens/updates a release PR
   • Follows release-please-config.json (node release-type, bump-minor-pre-major)
   • Updates version in package.json and .release-please-manifest.json
   • Generates/updates CHANGELOG.md

2. If release created:

   • Sets up pnpm 10.10.0, Node 24
   • Runs pnpm type-check
   • Runs pnpm build
   • Publishes to npm: pnpm publish with NPM_CONFIG_PROVENANCE=true
   • Updates server.json version with jq
   • Publishes to MCP Registry via mcp-publisher CLI

Version locations

• package.json — version field (e.g., "0.28.1")
• server.json — version field (e.g., "0.14.0") — sync'd by release workflow
• .release-please-manifest.json — {".": "0.28.1"} — updated by release-please

Configuration files

• release-please-config.json — release-type: node, changelog-path, bump-minor-pre-major
• server.json — MCP registry manifest (name, description, packages, env vars)

When to use me

Use this when:

• Preparing a release
• Debugging CI/release failures
• Understanding the version sync between package.json and server.json
