release(mcp): make the MCP server package installable and registry-ready #60

Description

@7shep

Problem

@universal/design-mcp builds a local binary, but the package is private and lacks release-ready metadata and an install smoke test. Users must clone the monorepo before connecting Universal to an MCP client.

Suggested level: Intermediate to advanced
Primary area: packages/design-mcp and release docs

Acceptance criteria

  • Define the approved public package name, files, license, repository, keywords, engines, and executable metadata.
  • Ensure pnpm pack contains only required runtime files and docs.
  • Smoke-test installing the tarball in a temporary fixture and starting the MCP binary without monorepo source paths.
  • Document package-manager/MCP-client configuration.
  • Add a valid draft server.json or generation step for the official MCP Registry namespace.
  • Keep publishing maintainer-triggered and credential-free in PRs.
  • Document versioning, rollback, and pre-release expectations.
  • MCP and packaging checks pass.

Out of scope

  • Publishing under an unapproved name
  • Committing npm or registry credentials
  • Promising stable APIs before a stable release
