# Publishing Noves MCP Server to NPM

## Prerequisites

1. Create npm account at https://npmjs.com
2. Login to npm: `npm login`

## Steps to Publish

### 1. Build the project

```bash
npm run build
```

### 2. Test locally

```bash
npm pack
# This creates a .tgz file you can test with
```

### 3. Publish to npm

```bash
npm publish
```

### 4. Verify publication

```bash
npm view @noves/noves-mcp-server
```

## Cursor Configuration

After publishing, update your `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "browser-tools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@agentdeskai/browser-tools-mcp@1.1.0"]
    },
    "noves-blockchain": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@noves/noves-mcp-server@0.1.0"]
    }
  }
}
```

## Benefits of NPM Approach

✅ **Easy Installation**: `npx` automatically downloads and runs
✅ **Version Control**: Specify exact versions like `@0.1.0`
✅ **Global Access**: Available from anywhere
✅ **Auto Updates**: Users can update to newer versions
✅ **No Local Setup**: No need for local paths or Docker

## Update Process

1. Make changes to your code
2. Update version in `package.json`
3. Run `npm run build`
4. Run `npm publish`
5. Update version in Cursor config
