Nova MCP Catalog

Public manifest + binaries for the Nova Toolkit's MCP Catalog feature. The toolkit GUI fetches catalog.json from this repo at session start and once per 24 h to discover available MCP servers, version updates, and tarball download URLs.

This repo is intentionally separate from the (private) toolkit source so consultant machines can fetch catalog state without GitHub credentials.

Layout

catalog.json                                # Live manifest (toolkit fetches this URL)
                                            # https://raw.githubusercontent.com/.../master/catalog.json

Releases (one per upstream MCP version):
  v<mcp-version>/                           # GitHub release tag
    <id>-bundle-<version>.tgz               # Tarball asset
                                            # https://github.com/.../releases/download/v<version>/<filename>

Adding a server

1. Build the tarball using the toolkit's scripts/build-<id>-catalog-tarball.sh (or equivalent for non-Playwright MCPs)
2. Compute SHA-256
3. Create a release in this repo with the tarball as an asset
4. Update catalog.json on master with the new entry (or version bump on an existing entry)

The toolkit's GUI fetcher honours a 24 h cache TTL, so changes here propagate to consultants on next launch + a daily-tick.

Contents are public by design

catalog.json and the tarball assets must be readable without authentication — the toolkit GUI's fetcher has no GitHub credentials. Don't put anything sensitive here.
