Conversation
Adds server.json at the repo root under the io.github.leanercloud namespace (permanent once published -- GitHub-OIDC-verified, casing matches the registry's io.github.<org> examples). The registry has no raw-Go-binary package type, so the single packages[] entry is registryType "mcpb", pointing at the (not-yet-existing) GitHub Release MCPB asset the follow-up release.yml PR will produce; fileSha256 is a placeholder 64-zero hash until that PR wires up patching it from the actual built artifact at publish time. environmentVariables documents both CUDLY_MCP_ENABLE_REAL_PURCHASES and CUDLY_MCP_AUDIT_LOG openly, per the registry's financial-transactions disclosure requirement. .github/workflows/mcp-server-json.yml validates server.json against the registry's published JSON Schema on every PR that touches it, and on v* tag pushes asserts server.json's version matches the tag -- a mismatch fails the workflow loudly rather than letting a later publish step silently ship the wrong metadata (the registry rejects republishing a version anyway, so this catches the mistake before that point).
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAdded a CUDly MCP server manifest and a GitHub Actions workflow. The workflow validates the manifest against its declared schema and checks the manifest version against pushed release tags. ChangesMCP manifest validation
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to The manifest currently allows a tagged release to advertise an MCPB package with an invalid placeholder hash, so compliant clients may be unable to install it. Merge should be blocked until the real artifact hash is supplied or tag validation rejects placeholder hashes. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Block releases that retain the placeholder package hash.
The all-zero fileSha256 cannot validate the release MCPB artifact. The declared schema requires a correct SHA-256 hash for MCPB packages and requires clients to verify it. A v0.1.0 tag currently passes this workflow with the placeholder unchanged, so compliant clients cannot install the published package. (static.modelcontextprotocol.io)
