Code Review

This pull request introduces support for MCPB (Model Context Protocol Bundle), enabling single-click installation in Claude Desktop. This is achieved by adding a manifest.json file, a .mcpbignore file, and an icon.

My review focuses on the new configuration files. I've found a few areas for improvement:

• In .mcpbignore, adding yarn.lock would make the ignore list more robust.
• In manifest.json, the version is hardcoded, which could lead to inconsistencies with package.json.
• Most importantly, there is a significant mismatch between the tool names in manifest.json and the names implemented in the server code. This could lead to runtime errors and should be corrected for consistency and reliability.

Overall, this is a great feature addition. Addressing these points will improve the maintainability and correctness of the MCPB integration.

Thanks for the review!

I've verified the feedback:

Tool names: The manifest uses the correct snake_case names (generate_area_chart, generate_bar_chart, etc.) that match the server implementation in src/charts/*.ts.

yarn.lock: Already included in .mcpbignore under the "Package managers and lock files" section.

Version sync: Good suggestion for future maintainability. The version currently matches package.json at 0.9.7.

The bundle has been tested and works correctly. Ready to merge when you are!
