 # Repository boundary
 
-This repository owns only the `@agentcommunity/mcp` stdio connector. The hosted server and its tools live at `https://agentcommunity.org/mcp`; do not copy server logic here. The connector must remain anonymous, fixed-origin, telemetry-free, and dependency-pinned. It must never call a tool during tests or installation, expose an SDK API, accept an alternate remote URL, add install scripts, or store credentials. The sole local-publish exception is the reviewed `0.1.0` bootstrap required to create the npm package before trusted publishing can be attached; it must be deprecated after `0.1.1` is live. Every later publication, including canonical `0.1.1`, uses the tag-only OIDC workflow after `npm test` and `npm run package:audit` pass.

The sole local-publish exception is the reviewed `0.1.0` bootstrap required to create the npm package before trusted publishing can be attached; deprecate it only after canonical `0.1.2` is independently verified live. `v0.1.1` is a failed immutable historical tag with no npm publication and must never be moved, deleted, or reused. Forward release work targets canonical `0.1.2` through the tag-only OIDC workflow after `npm test` and `npm run package:audit` pass.
