NPM Package Name Reservation

Note

These instructions are for reserving the npm package name mcp-knowledge-base with a minimal placeholder package.

Steps to Reserve Package Name

1. Create Minimal Project Structure

mkdir mcp-knowledge-base
cd mcp-knowledge-base

2. Initialize Package

npm init -y

3. Update package.json

{
  "name": "mcp-knowledge-base",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "description": "MCP server for knowledge base functionality - Coming Soon",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "keywords": [
    "mcp",
    "claude",
    "knowledge-base",
    "ai"
  ],
  "author": "Your Name",
  "license": "MIT"
}

4. Create Minimal index.js

console.log('MCP Knowledge Base - Coming Soon');

5. Create README.md

# MCP Knowledge Base

> [!NOTE]
> This package is currently in development. Future versions will provide knowledge base functionality for Claude AI.

## Coming Soon

This package will build upon mcp-knowledge-graph to provide:
- Enhanced knowledge base capabilities
- Improved memory management
- Advanced querying features

## Status

This is a placeholder release. Production version coming soon.

6. Publish Placeholder

npm login  # if not already logged in
npm publish

Important Notes

1. Version Strategy

   • Start with 0.0.1 for placeholder
   • Use 0.x.x for development versions
   • Release 1.0.0 when ready for production

2. Package Maintenance

   • Update placeholder occasionally to maintain npm listing
   • Add "under development" notices in README
   • Consider adding GitHub repository with roadmap

3. Name Protection

   • Publishing placeholder prevents name squatting
   • Establishes your ownership of the name
   • Allows time for proper development

4. Future Updates

   • When ready to develop, use same package name
   • Increment version appropriately
   • Update with actual functionality

Verification

After publishing, verify reservation:

npm view mcp-knowledge-base

Cleanup When Ready

When ready to develop the actual package:

1. Archive placeholder code
2. Start development in new repository
3. Maintain same package name
4. Update version to reflect development status
