LabelGrid MCP — workspace

The official LabelGrid tooling for the LabelGrid public API, organised as an npm workspace.

Looking for the MCP server docs? They live in packages/mcp/README.md — installation for Claude Desktop / Cursor / any MCP client, the full tool reference, safety gating, and configuration.

Packages

Package	What it is
`@labelgrid/mcp`	The MCP server — 30 consolidated tools over the LabelGrid public API. Published to npm; also ships as the `labelgrid.mcpb` one-click bundle for Claude Desktop.
`@labelgrid/cli`	The `labelgrid` command-line tool — the same API surface for terminals and scripts: catalog, releases, files, analytics, royalties, webhooks, and distribution, with `--json` output for pipelines.
`@labelgrid/core`	The shared API client: HTTP transport with structured errors, presigned-URL uploads, content-type allowlists, the catalog-entity registry, and redacting logging. Used by every LabelGrid tool built on the public API.

Command-line tool

Full docs (auth setup, every command group, scripting, safety model) live in packages/cli/README.md. Quickstart:

Terminal

npm install -g @labelgrid/cli          # Node 20+; installs the `labelgrid` command
export LABELGRID_API_TOKEN=...         # or run `labelgrid auth login`
labelgrid auth whoami                  # verify the token
labelgrid catalog search --type release --json | jq '.data[].id'

Agent skill

skills/labelgrid-release/SKILL.md is an agent skill for the full release lifecycle — draft a release and its tracks, upload audio and artwork, validate, review, distribute, and track delivery — with the exact MCP tool and CLI command for each step and guidance on which vehicle fits. Point an agent at the file, or drop it into your assistant's skills directory, to teach it the end-to-end LabelGrid release flow.

Layout & build arrangement

The root package.json is a private workspaces manifest; its scripts fan out to the packages (npm run build builds @labelgrid/core first, then @labelgrid/mcp and @labelgrid/cli; npm test runs each package's suite). Contributors work from the repo root: packages/core is the shared client, packages/mcp the MCP server, packages/cli the command-line tool — the two products are thin adapters over core.
Each package has its own tsconfig.json extending the shared tsconfig.base.json (no TypeScript project references — the explicit root build chain keeps ordering correct and simple). @labelgrid/mcp imports @labelgrid/core through the workspace link and compiles against its built declarations.
Unit tests run per package via each package's vitest.config.ts. The MCP package aliases @labelgrid/core to the sibling package's TypeScript source, so running tests never requires a prior core build.
Repo-wide checks live in scripts/ and run from the root: npm run lint, npm run leak-guard, npm run check-coverage, npm run gen-docs, npm run measure-tokens.

Development

Terminal

npm ci            # install the whole workspace
npm run build     # build core, then mcp and cli
npm test          # unit suites for every package
npm run lint      # biome over the repo

The MCP server binary after a build: node packages/mcp/dist/index.js (or npm start). The CLI binary after a build: node packages/cli/dist/index.js.
