Research available MCP marketplaces (Smithery, MCP Hub, Glama, others) 2. Document submission requirements for each marketplace 3. Create marketplace listing materials (descriptions, screenshots, demos) 4. Submit to each marketplace 5. Verify listings are live and functional 6. Monitor marketplace analytics **Success Criteria**: MCP server listed on 3+ major marketplaces with installation instructions **Estimated Effort**: 2-3 hours total (30-40 min per marketplace) **Dependencies**: v0.2.0 npm release complete ## Next Steps ### Immediate (Phase 1 Complete - Ready for Release) 1. **Publish v0.2.0** to npm with 15 new tools - All 16 MCP tools (3 existing + 13 new) tested and validated - F23b bugs fixed (endpoint, domain parameter, accessRestriction handling) - 198 test suite (194 passing, 4 F23a test mock issues) - Phase 1 complete (14/14 features, 100%) ### Phase 2 (Evaluate Priority) 2. **Update README.md** with new tool documentation 3. **Evaluate Phase 2 priority** based on user feedback 4. **Community engagement** (monitor GitHub issues, forum responses) 5. **G4: MCP Marketplace Distribution** - Research and submit to 3+ marketplaces (post v0.2.0) ## Session History **Session 1-2** (2025-12-10 to 2025-12-11): Initial research, architecture, implementation **Session 3** (2025-12-23): Open source release, Phase 4 complete **Session 4** (2025-12-23): MAGI review, domain memory update, Phase 1 implementation - F00 implemented (test harness foundation) - F34, F36 implemented in parallel (safety infrastructure) - F37 implemented (validate operation) - F01, F22, F07, F12 implemented in parallel (simple read operations) - F05, F13, F06, F35 implemented in parallel (complex operations) - F04, F08, F23a implemented in parallel (final batch) - **Progress**: 15/37 features (40.5%), 13/14 Phase 1 features complete **Session 5** (2025-12-26): Phase 1 completion + tool validation - F23b implemented (cloudron_install_app with F23a/F36 pre-flight validation) - 14 comprehensive tests covering all requirements (pre-flight, parameters, task tracking, error handling) - Full test suite validation: 194/198 tests passing (4 pre-existing F23a mock issues) - All 16 MCP tools validated as functioning correctly - **Progress**: 16/37 features (43.2%), 14/14 Phase 1 features COMPLETE (100%) **Session 6** (2025-12-26): F23b critical bug fixes - Real API testing revealed 3 critical bugs that mock tests missed: 1. Wrong endpoint `/api/v1/apps/install` → `/api/v1/apps` 2. Missing required `domain` parameter 3. `accessRestriction` handling: optional → required (can be null) - Fixed in types.ts, cloudron-client.ts, server.ts - Build succeeds, real install test passed - Demonstrates value of real-world validation beyond mock tests ## Key Learnings 1. **Worker Pattern Success**: Stateless workers implementing ONE feature atomically works exceptionally well 2. **Parallel Execution**: Spawning independent workers in same message (not separate) gives 90%+ time reduction 3. **MAGI Hybrid Approach**: Satisfies all three perspectives (strategic, safety, pragmatic) 4. **Safety Gates**: F36/F37 pre-flight validation prevents destructive errors 5. **Test-First**: Automated Jest tests (not manual) enable CI/CD and regression detection 6. **Feature Merges**: Consolidating redundant operations (F01/F02/F03, F06/F30, etc.) reduces complexity 7. **Real vs Mock Testing**: F23b bugs show mock tests give false confidence. Real API testing catches critical issues. ## Asana Integration **Workspace**: Serenichron (gid: 1209371498667366) **Project**: Cloudron MCP Integration **Task**: "Cloudron MCP Server - Full Development & Release" (gid: 1209371574206093) **Status**: In Progress (Phase 1 at 100%, F23b bugs fixed) ## Community Engagement **Forum Post**: Posted to Cloudron Forum 2025-12-23 - Announcement of MCP server availability - Installation instructions - Invitation to fork/extend/file issues **Community Resources**: - 💬 Cloudron Forum: https://forum.cloudron.io - 🐛 GitHub Issues: https://github.com/serenichron/mcp-cloudron/issues - 💡 Feature Requests: https://github.com/serenichron/mcp-cloudron/issues/new?labels=enhancement ## Roadmap **v0.2.0** (Current - In Development): - 15 new MCP tools across app management, backups, users, infrastructure - Automated test suite (179 tests passing) - Safety gates (pre-flight validation) - Async operation tracking - F23b critical bugs fixed (endpoint, domain, accessRestriction) **v0.3.0** (Phase 2 - Future): - Backup restore operations - Domain management - Email configuration - System updates - Community-driven feature requests **Status**: Phase 1 COMPLETE (14/14 features, 100%).
