Publishing

Use the current ship flow with realistic expectations about package-manager detection and dry runs.

Start with a dry run

mcpkit ship --dry-run

This is the safest way to understand what the command will attempt.

What `ship` does

detects a package manager
prompts for confirmation
runs tests
runs a build
bumps package.json version
publishes using the detected package-manager command

Detected publish commands

bun publish
pnpm publish
yarn publish
npm publish

Recommended workflow

run package scripts locally first
run mcpkit ship --dry-run
run mcpkit ship --bump patch only when the project is ready

Building for production

Build current mcpkit projects with the generated scripts and the CLI wrapper.

Diagnostics

Use check-env and doctor together to narrow down project and environment problems.
