bus-mcp@0.2.2

CAUTION

Publisher claims: "Ergonomic MCP server fronting the self-hosted AlphaHive coordination-bus HTTP API (backend/coordination_bus.py) -- post/read/claim/release/heartbeat/status as MCP tools instead of hand-rolled curl. Fast-follow to the coordination-bus arc, github-mcp-shaped (MCP over an HTTP API)." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

  1. Unclaimed publisher≈ +8 on the totalClaim pypi: a verified publisher gets +50 on publisher trust. It is free and usually instant with GitHub sign-in.
  2. Does not do what the description says≈ +5 on the totalIn the sandbox the skill never performed the task it claims (no call to the service it is for). Make sure the happy path runs without extra setup, or describe the real behavior.
  3. Outbound HTTP to raw IP address≈ +4 on the totalReplace encoded or assembled strings with plain literals and remove undeclared network calls.
  4. New publisher≈ +3 on the totalTime clears this on its own after 14 and 30 days. Claiming the handle (+50) is the fastest way past it.
