OSS Launch Checklist

This checklist captures the week-one launch work for Coordination Memory MCP.

Release preparation snapshot (September 13, 2026)

This snapshot was checked before the 0.2.8 release. For current artifacts, use the PyPI project and GitHub releases.

• GitHub repository: https://github.com/yanqiw/comem
• Package version prepared in pyproject.toml: 0.2.8
• Public PyPI version before this release: 0.2.4
• Public GitHub description: Local MCP coordination layer for multi-agent coding: task leases, auditable handoffs, independent acceptance contracts.
• Public GitHub topics: agent-orchestration, ai-agents, developer-tools, governance, local-first, mcp, model-context-protocol, multi-agent, sqlite
• Public GitHub Discussions: enabled
• Public GitHub releases: none
• PyPI package coordination-memory-mcp: published at 0.2.4
• PyPI pending Trusted Publisher: configured by the project owner for GitHub Actions release workflow
• Local GitHub CLI auth can read repository metadata
• mcp-publisher: not installed locally

Repository Settings

Set these in GitHub before announcing broadly:

• Description: Local MCP coordination layer for multi-agent coding: task leases, auditable handoffs, independent acceptance contracts.
• Website: https://github.com/yanqiw/comem
• Topics: mcp, model-context-protocol, ai-agents, multi-agent, agent-orchestration, local-first, sqlite, developer-tools, governance
• Enable Discussions.
• Keep Issues enabled.
• Keep the security advisory link active.

Release Path

1. Confirm GitHub CLI still has write access before tagging the release.
2. Confirm PyPI Trusted Publishing for:
   • PyPI project: coordination-memory-mcp
   • Repository: yanqiw/comem
   • Workflow: .github/workflows/release.yml
   • Environment: pypi
   • Status: configured
3. Ensure the release commit includes:
   • pyproject.toml version 0.2.8
   • CHANGELOG.md release section 0.2.8
   • README install instructions
   • README MCP Registry marker: mcp-name: io.github.yanqiw/comem
   • server.json
4. Tag and push:

git tag v0.2.8
git push https://github.com/yanqiw/comem.git v0.2.8

5. Wait for the Release workflow to publish to PyPI. The tag must reach GitHub; a tag pushed only to Codeup does not trigger GitHub Actions.
6. Verify:

curl https://pypi.org/pypi/coordination-memory-mcp/json
uvx --from coordination-memory-mcp comem --help

MCP Registry

The MCP Registry uses metadata only; the PyPI package must exist first.

mcp-publisher login github
mcp-publisher publish

The committed server.json is prepared for the registry name io.github.yanqiw/comem and package coordination-memory-mcp.

Directory Submissions

• MCP Registry: publish with mcp-publisher after PyPI is live.
• Glama: submit the GitHub repository and package metadata.
• awesome-mcp-servers: open a PR with one concise entry under the most relevant agent/developer-tools section.

Launch Gate

Do not post the launch announcement until these are true:

• PyPI package resolves.
• uvx --from coordination-memory-mcp comem --help works on a clean machine.
• GitHub description/topics are set.
• Discussions is enabled.
• README links to launch resources and demo script.
• The dashboard screenshot renders in GitHub.
