# Phase 11 Plan 01: PyPI Packaging Foundation Summary

**PyPI-ready pyproject.toml (version 1.0.0, MIT license, console script entry) with main() wrapper and INST-01 test coverage via tomllib**

## Performance

- **Duration:** 2 min
- **Started:** 2026-03-25T02:35:56Z
- **Completed:** 2026-03-25T02:37:13Z
- **Tasks:** 2 (TDD: RED commit + GREEN commit)
- **Files modified:** 4

## Accomplishments
- Added `def main()` wrapper to `vmcluster_mcp/__main__.py` so pip-installed console script shim works correctly
- Completed `pyproject.toml` with all PyPI metadata: version 1.0.0, readme, MIT license, classifiers, keywords, authors, [project.scripts], [project.urls]
- Created `LICENSE` file with MIT license text (copyright 2024 Chris Horn)
- Wrote `tests/test_entrypoint.py` covering INST-01: callable main() and [project.scripts] entry, both passing

## Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. **Task 1: Create test_entrypoint.py (RED)** - `35195a7` (test)
2. **Task 2: main() wrapper + pyproject.toml + LICENSE (GREEN)** - `11ef67c` (feat)

**Plan metadata:** (docs commit follows)

_Note: TDD tasks have two commits — RED failing tests, then GREEN implementation_

## Files Created/Modified
- `tests/test_entrypoint.py` - INST-01 tests: test_main_is_callable, test_project_scripts_entry_exists
- `vmcluster_mcp/__main__.py` - Added `def main(): mcp.run()` with `__main__` guard
- `pyproject.toml` - Version 1.0.0, full PyPI metadata, [project.scripts], [project.urls]
- `LICENSE` - MIT license, copyright 2024 Chris Horn

## Decisions Made
- Version set to 1.0.0: the package is production-ready; v1.1 milestone is about packaging/distribution, not new features
- Used `tomllib` (Python 3.11+ stdlib) for TOML parsing in tests — no third-party dependency needed
- Wrapped `mcp.run()` in `def main()` so the pip-installed console script shim (generated from `[project.scripts]`) can call it as a callable function

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

## Issues Encountered
None

## User Setup Required
None - no external service configuration required.

## Next Phase Readiness
- pyproject.toml is complete and PyPI-publishable
- Console script entry point tested and working
- Phase 12 (setup wizard) can add `vmcluster-mcp setup` subcommand to the same `main()` entry point
- GitHub Actions CI/CD for auto-publish on git tag push is the remaining Phase 11 work
