U4 of the Claude Desktop .mcpb bundle plan. - mcp/manifest.json hand-authored to match PP's emitted shape (see ~/printing-press/library/bugbounty-goat/manifest.json for the canonical reference). 13 user_config slots, all sensitive=true and required=false so the engine's graceful degradation to web-only mode keeps the install non-blocking on credential entry. - Covered API keys: OpenAI, xAI, Brave, Exa, Serper, Google, Gemini (and the Google_genai alias), Apify, Bluesky app password, Parallel, ScrapeCreators, OpenRouter. Cookie / session flows (Truth Social, Xiaohongshu, ChatGPT account ID, Codex auth) deferred per plan Scope Boundaries - they need a richer UX than plain user_config strings. - internal/manifest/manifest_test.go enforces the structural invariants Claude Desktop install correctness depends on: required MCPB fields, lowercased-env-name -> user_config-key cross-reference both directions, sensitive=true + required=false + description present on every slot, and platform list coverage. - Local smoke: `printing-press bundle --skip-build --binary <built>` produces last30days-pp-mcp-darwin-arm64.mcpb (4.7MB compressed, manifest.json + bin/last30days-pp-mcp).
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.
