# Contributing to Nextcloud MCP Server
## Version Management
This monorepo uses commitizen for version management with **independent versioning** for three components:
### Components
| Component | Scope | Bump Command | Tag Example |
|-----------|-------|--------------|-------------|
| MCP Server | `mcp` or none | `./scripts/bump-mcp.sh` | `v0.54.0` |
| Helm Chart | `helm` | `./scripts/bump-helm.sh` | `nextcloud-mcp-server-0.54.0` |
| Astrolabe App | `astrolabe` | `./scripts/bump-astrolabe.sh` | `astrolabe-v0.2.0` |
### Commit Message Format
Use conventional commits with **scopes** to target specific components:
```bash
# MCP server changes
feat(mcp): add calendar sync API
fix(mcp): resolve authentication bug
# Helm chart changes
feat(helm): add resource limits
docs(helm): update values documentation
# Astrolabe app changes
feat(astrolabe): add dark mode toggle
fix(astrolabe): resolve search UI bug
```
**Unscoped commits** default to the MCP server:
```bash
feat: add new feature # → MCP server (v0.54.0)
```
### Release Workflow
#### 1. Make Changes with Scoped Commits
```bash
git commit -m "feat(astrolabe): add dark mode toggle"
git commit -m "feat(helm): add ingress annotations"
git commit -m "feat(mcp): add calendar sync"
```
#### 2. Bump Component Versions
```bash
# Bump MCP server (reads commits with scope=mcp or unscoped)
./scripts/bump-mcp.sh
# → Creates tag: v0.54.0
# → Updates: pyproject.toml, Chart.yaml:appVersion
# Bump Helm chart (reads commits with scope=helm)
./scripts/bump-helm.sh
# → Creates tag: nextcloud-mcp-server-0.54.0
# → Updates: Chart.yaml:version
# Bump Astrolabe (reads commits with scope=astrolabe)
./scripts/bump-astrolabe.sh
# → Creates tag: astrolabe-v0.2.0
# → Updates: info.xml, package.json
```
#### 3. Push Tags
```bash
git push --follow-tags
```
### Changelog Filtering
Each component maintains its own `CHANGELOG.md`:
- **MCP Server**: `CHANGELOG.md` (root) - includes `feat(mcp):` and unscoped commits
- **Helm Chart**: `charts/nextcloud-mcp-server/CHANGELOG.md` - includes `feat(helm):` only
- **Astrolabe**: `third_party/astrolabe/CHANGELOG.md` - includes `feat(astrolabe):` only
### Manual Version Bumps
For specific increments:
```bash
# Patch bump (0.53.0 → 0.53.1)
uv run cz bump --increment PATCH
# Minor bump (0.53.0 → 0.54.0)
uv run cz bump --increment MINOR
# Major bump (0.53.0 → 1.0.0)
uv run cz bump --increment MAJOR
# For non-MCP components, use --config
cd charts/nextcloud-mcp-server
uv run cz --config .cz.toml bump --increment MINOR
```
### Versioning Philosophy
- **MCP Server**: Follows PEP 440, `major_version_zero = true` (0.x.x for pre-1.0)
- **Helm Chart**: Follows PEP 440, starts at 0.53.0 (continues from current)
- **Astrolabe**: Follows PEP 440, `major_version_zero = true` (0.x.x for alpha/beta)
### Chart.yaml Version vs appVersion
The Helm chart has TWO version fields:
- **`version`**: Chart packaging version (bumped by `feat(helm):`)
- Example: `0.53.0` → `0.54.0` when adding resource limits
- **`appVersion`**: MCP server version being deployed (bumped by `feat(mcp):`)
- Example: `"0.53.0"` → `"0.54.0"` when MCP server releases
This allows the chart to evolve independently from the application.
