Add a new top-level mcp/ Go module that will host the Claude Desktop MCPB server. U1 of the Claude Desktop .mcpb bundle plan: scaffold only, no behavior yet. - mcp/go.mod targets Go 1.22+ with mark3labs/mcp-go as the planned dependency (added in U3 when the server wiring lands). - mcp/scripts/sync-engine.sh mirrors skills/last30days/scripts/ into mcp/vendored/ before each build, keeping the Code skill and Desktop bundle on the same engine source. - Root .gitignore excludes mcp/vendored/ and mcp/build/ so the engine mirror and cross-compiled binaries stay local.
last30days-pp-mcp
Go MCP server that wraps the last30days Python engine for Claude Desktop. Packaged as a .mcpb bundle (drag-drop install into Claude Desktop).
The MCP server exposes a single research tool that mirrors the /last30days <topic> slash command available in Claude Code. At runtime the binary extracts the vendored Python engine into a per-user cache and shells out to python3 to produce the synthesis input Claude renders.

Local build
# Mirror the Python engine into vendored/.
bash scripts/sync-engine.sh
# Build for the current host.
go build -ldflags "-X main.Version=dev" -o build/last30days-pp-mcp ./cmd/last30days-pp-mcp
# Package as a .mcpb (requires the printing-press binary on PATH).
printing-press bundle . --skip-build --binary build/last30days-pp-mcp
The output .mcpb lands at build/last30days-pp-mcp-<os>-<arch>.mcpb. Drag it into Claude Desktop's Extensions panel to install.
Runtime requirements
End users need Python 3.12+ on PATH. The bundle ships the engine source but relies on the host interpreter.
Versioning
The MCPB manifest.json version is hand-bumped in the same PR that ships engine changes worth releasing. Release CI stamps the Go binary's main.Version from the tag.
