Tracking: publish the first .mcpb release asset #126

Description

@millsmillsymills

Goal

Get an actual shortcut-mcp.mcpb file onto a GitHub Release. The MCPB pipeline
is fully built — this issue tracks the remaining gap between "infrastructure
merged" and "a user can download the bundle."

Spec: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/mcpb
MANIFEST.md,
CLI.md.

Current state

Work items

  • Cut the next release per RELEASING.md (version bump + CHANGELOG PR,
    signed tag, GitHub Release) — semver call based on the current
    [Unreleased] contents.
  • Confirm the mcpb.yml attach job ran on the published release and that
    shortcut-mcp.mcpb and server.json are downloadable from the release
    page.
  • Verify the attached bundle: npx @anthropic-ai/mcpb validate on its
    manifest, then install the downloaded .mcpb into Claude Desktop — config
    UI shows the four fields, tools list under the core profile, write and
    destructive tools stay hidden under the default readonly mode.
  • README: add an MCPB install section (download the .mcpb from the latest
    release, open with Claude Desktop) — the README currently only documents
    uv tool install from git.
  • README ## Status: reflect that the MCPB packaging half of the S3→S4
    gate is done; registry submission (Submit shortcut-mcp to the MCP registry #74) remains.

Acceptance criteria

  • The latest GitHub Release has shortcut-mcp.mcpb and server.json attached,
    built by CI (not uploaded by hand).
  • A fresh Claude Desktop install from the downloaded file reaches a working
    readonly server with no terminal steps.
