A release checklist for the tapo-mcp Rust package, an MCP server for Tapo devices. It covers version updates, changelog changes, commits, tags, publishing steps, and the GitHub release.

Use it to prepare and release a new tapo-mcp version, including updating package metadata and creating the related Git tag and GitHub release.

It reduces the chance of missing a file or release step when shipping a new version of tapo-mcp.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00028	$0.00572
Opus 5	$0.00014	$0.00286
Sonnet 5	$0.00006	$0.00114
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00057

Security

Grade A, and why

release-mcp scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Release tapo-mcp

Release a new version of the tapo-mcp crate.

Steps

Determine the new version. Read the current version from tapo-mcp/Cargo.toml. Ask the user what the new version should be if not provided.
Bump the version. Update the version field in tapo-mcp/Cargo.toml and both version and packages[0].identifier in tapo-mcp/server.json.
Update changelog. In CHANGELOG.md:
- Replace the heading ## [MCP Unreleased][Unreleased] with ## [MCP vX.X.X][tapo-mcp-vX.X.X] - YYYY-MM-DD (use the current date).
- Insert a new empty ## [MCP Unreleased][Unreleased] section immediately above the newly versioned section.
- Add a link reference [tapo-mcp-vX.X.X]: https://github.com/mihai-dinculescu/tapo/tree/tapo-mcp-vX.X.X to the link definitions at the bottom of the file (right after the [Unreleased] link).
Commit. Run /commit with message chore(tapo-mcp): release vX.X.X.

Tag. Create an annotated git tag:

git tag -a tapo-mcp-vX.X.X -m "tapo-mcp-vX.X.X"

Push. Ask the user for confirmation, then:

git push && git push origin tapo-mcp-vX.X.X

Create GitHub release. Ask the user for confirmation. Use the content under the ## [MCP vX.X.X][tapo-mcp-vX.X.X] heading from CHANGELOG.md as the release body, followed by a full changelog comparison link. The previous version (vP.P.P) is the tapo-mcp tag before this release:
```
gh release create tapo-mcp-vX.X.X --title "Tapo MCP vX.X.X" --notes "$(cat <<'EOF'
<changelog content here>

**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/mihai-dinculescu/tapo/compare/tapo-mcp-vP.P.P...tapo-mcp-vX.X.X
EOF

```

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
