# 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
```bash
mkdir mcp-knowledge-base
cd mcp-knowledge-base
```
### 2. Initialize Package
```bash
npm init -y
```
### 3. Update package.json
```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
```javascript
console.log('MCP Knowledge Base - Coming Soon');
```
### 5. Create README.md
```markdown
# 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
```bash
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:
```bash
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
