Renamed @keisei/mcp-server → @keisei84/mcp-server (scope must match
github org KeiSei84 for GitHub Packages publish). Replaced private:true
with publishConfig pinned to npm.pkg.github.com so an accidental
`npm publish` cannot leak to npm.org. CI npm-publish job rewired to
GitHub Packages auth (GITHUB_TOKEN with packages:write permission).
Why GitHub Packages, not npm.org:
- Authentication piggybacks on existing github org / PAT — no separate
account or NPM_TOKEN required for the core kit
- Scope @keisei84 maps 1:1 to org KeiSei84 (npm rule for github)
- Doesn't require public DNS for our private Forgejo (Tailscale-only
100.91.246.53 cannot be the publish target — IP-leak in public ref)
- Published artefacts live under github.com/orgs/KeiSei84/packages,
same access surface as the source repo
Why not @keisei (un-scoped or different scope):
- npm scope @keisei IS reachable on npm.org but we don't own it there
(would require email-verified npm account claim + ongoing maintenance)
- @keisei84 requires zero new accounts; works the moment KeiSei84 org
has packages enabled (github default)
Files changed (11):
- _ts_packages/packages/mcp-server/package.json — rename + publishConfig
+ repository field (required by GitHub Packages); removed private:true
- _ts_packages/package-lock.json — regenerated via `npm install`
(workspace recognises @keisei84/mcp-server symlink)
- README.md (2 hunks) — maturity row says "alpha" not
"alpha (unpublished)"; install section documents `~/.npmrc` setup
for `@keisei84:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com/`
- PLUGIN.md (3 hunks) — same `~/.npmrc` setup; .mcp.json references
@keisei84/mcp-server; "not yet on npm" replaced with "lives on
GitHub Packages, not npm.org"
- .claude-plugin/mcp-template.json — args use @keisei84 scope
- _ts_packages/README.md (4 hunks) — package layout + npx examples
- docs/INSTALL.md, install/lib-rust.sh — comment refs
- docs/encyclopedia/substrate-overview.md (2 hunks) — package table +
publishing notes (was "published to keigit.com npm" — wrong; keigit
is a separate community-publish path for user-contributed packages,
not the destination for core @keisei84 packages)
- .github/workflows/release.yml — npm-publish job rebuilt:
· permissions: packages:write
· Two-scope .npmrc temp-write: @keisei84 → npm.pkg.github.com (always),
@keisei → npm.org (only if NPM_TOKEN secret set, else skipped per pkg)
· NODE_AUTH_TOKEN sourced from GITHUB_TOKEN
· .npmrc cleaned up via `if: always()` step
- .gitignore — _ts_packages/.npmrc + .npmrc excluded (RULE 0.8: auth
tokens never in git; CI temp-creates per-job)
Verification:
- `npm install` clean against new scope: node_modules/@keisei84/mcp-server
symlinks to packages/mcp-server, other adapters untouched in
node_modules/@keisei/* [REAL: install ran 2026-05-03 in this session]
- `npm run build --workspace=@keisei84/mcp-server` produces dist/index.js
[REAL: tsc -b exit 0]
- Server starts cleanly: `node dist/index.js` runs >1s, emits expected
"[adapters] not installed" warnings for un-built sibling adapters,
doesn't throw
- 17 references to old @keisei/mcp-server scope migrated; 0 left
[REAL: grep -rn "@keisei/mcp-server" returns 0 lines]
Bad-commit-hygiene note:
- Two earlier local commits (cb8dc2a + revert 474fe1c) attempted a
keigit.com-pinned variant; soft-reset past them so this commit lands
on top of public 368df5b. Bad commits never reached remote.

KeiSeiKit — Anthropic Claude Code plugin format
This document describes the plugin-format install path (v0.16+) and how it relates to the classic ./install.sh path. Both paths are supported; use whichever fits.
TL;DR
# One-time
/plugin marketplace add KeiSei84/KeiSeiKit
# Install
/plugin install keisei@keisei-marketplace
The plugin auto-registers: agents, skills, hooks, and the MCP server. No manual ~/.claude/settings.json edits. No install.sh needed for the core (non-primitive) experience.
Layout
The repo follows the Anthropic Claude Code plugin spec:
.claude-plugin/
plugin.json # plugin manifest (name, version, author, license, keywords)
marketplace.json # marketplace manifest — lets this repo serve as a marketplace source
mcp-template.json # template for .mcp.json (copy to repo root; see "MCP prerequisite" below)
agents/ # auto-discovered by Claude Code at plugin-install time
skills/<name>/SKILL.md # auto-discovered
hooks/hooks.json # PreToolUse / PostToolUse / Stop hooks with ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} paths
.mcp.json # MCP server registration (see prerequisite note)
Paths inside hooks/hooks.json use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} (expanded by Claude Code at runtime to the plugin install directory) rather than absolute $HOME/.claude/hooks/... paths. This lets the same hooks ship unchanged whether the plugin is installed from GitHub, npm, or a local path.
Plugin install vs classic install — what differs
| Feature | Plugin install | Classic ./install.sh |
|---|---|---|
| Agents registered | yes, automatic | yes, copied to ~/.claude/agents/ |
| Skills registered | yes, automatic | yes, copied to ~/.claude/skills/ |
| Hooks wired | yes, via hooks/hooks.json |
requires --activate-hooks (jq-merge of settings-snippet.json) |
| MCP server | yes, via .mcp.json (uses @keisei84/mcp-server from GitHub Packages — requires ~/.npmrc setup, see below) |
same |
| 47 Rust primitives | no — plugin ships manifest sources only; no cargo build | yes, --profile=<name> builds the selected set |
| 13 shell primitives | no | yes, copied to ~/.claude/agents/_primitives/ |
| Disk footprint | ~2 MB (plugin cache) | ~2 MB minimal up to ~200 MB full |
| Update path | /plugin update keisei |
git pull && ./install.sh |
| Update visibility | Claude Code shows version change | silent |
Bottom line: plugin install is the right default for the agent-kit experience (agents + skills + hooks). For the Rust primitives (tomd, kei-ledger, provision-hetzner, kei-migrate, etc.), fall back to the classic installer or run it alongside the plugin — the two don't collide because the plugin namespaces into its own install dir and the classic installer writes to ~/.claude/.
Prerequisites
For plugin install:
- Claude Code 2.1+ (check with
claude --version) - Network access to
github.com/KeiSei84/KeiSeiKiton/plugin marketplace add
For the MCP server subset:
@keisei84/mcp-serveravailable from GitHub Packages (https://npm.pkg.github.com/). One-time~/.npmrcsetup:
Without the@keisei84:registry=https://npm.pkg.github.com/ //npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=<github PAT with read:packages>~/.npmrcrows,npxcannot resolve the scoped package and thekeiseiMCP server simply won't appear in your tool list — the agents, skills, and hooks all work without it.- Node.js 18+ (for
npxto fetch the server on demand)
For the Rust primitives (classic install only):
- Rust stable,
jq, plus the soft-deps listed in the main README per-profile table.
Known limitations
- Rust primitives not auto-installed. The plugin format doesn't currently express "also run
cargo buildat install time". We ship the manifest sources in-repo so that users who want the primitives can run./install.sh --profile=fullalongside the plugin. A future version may add pre-built release binaries for common platforms (macOS arm64/x86_64, Linux x86_64) intobin/so the plugin can ship primitives without a cargo step. @keisei84/mcp-serverlives on GitHub Packages, not npm.org. The.mcp.jsonentry usesnpx -y @keisei84/mcp-serverwhich resolves through the~/.npmrc@keisei84:registryline above. Without that line,npxwill hit npm.org by default and 404. See_ts_packages/packages/mcp-server/README.mdfor the publish pipeline.- Hooks use
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}. This is the official Claude Code plugin variable. Older Claude Code versions (<2.1) that predate plugin support will not expand this variable — stick with classic install on those versions. - No version-pinning yet.
/plugin install keisei@keisei-marketplaceinstalls the default branch HEAD. For reproducible team installs, add the--ref=<tag>flag once it lands in Claude Code (currently in the spec per the extension schemareffield).
