Summary

  • distribute unic-mcp beside unic in release archives, Homebrew, source builds, and the install script
  • add a portable Kiro Power plus Codex and Claude Code plugin manifests sharing one MCP server and skill
  • document installation, AWS credential inheritance, example prompts, and troubleshooting

Closes #342

Verification

  • make test
  • make build
  • Codex plugin validator
  • claude plugin validate .
  • MCP initialize, tools/list, and get_capabilities smoke test
  • GoReleaser v2.18 snapshot release; verified both binaries in macOS, Linux, and Windows archives

Note

  • GoReleaser reports pre-existing deprecation warnings for archive format and Homebrew formula fields; snapshot packaging still succeeds.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an MCP server for inspecting AWS resources and planning Unic context changes.
    • Added integrations for Codex, Claude, Kiro, and other MCP-compatible clients.
    • Added AWS discovery and context-planning capabilities, including backup vault inspection and permission-aware results.
    • Releases and Homebrew installations now include both the Unic TUI and MCP server.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Installers now verify both binaries before replacing existing installations.
  • Documentation

    • Added setup instructions, supported tools, example prompts, and troubleshooting guidance for MCP clients.

Walkthrough

The change packages unic-mcp with unic, adds portable plugin metadata and AWS skill guidance, configures Codex, Claude, and Kiro integrations, and updates installation and usage documentation.

Changes

MCP packaging and integrations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Build, distribution, and installation of unic-mcp
.gitignore, Makefile, .goreleaser.yaml, install.sh, install_test.go
Builds, archives, installs, and tests both unic and unic-mcp. Homebrew installs and tests both binaries.
Portable plugin package
plugin.json, mcp.json, skills/unic-aws/SKILL.md
Defines plugin metadata, registers the unic-mcp stdio server, and documents AWS inspection and read-only context planning workflows.
Client adapters and usage guidance
.codex-plugin/plugin.json, .claude-plugin/plugin.json, .mcp.json, README.md, docs/development.md
Adds Codex and Claude metadata, configures MCP startup from PATH, and documents setup for Codex, Claude, and Kiro.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f0413

The release packaging adds the MCP server alongside unic, but source-build users may be unable to start it from configured clients, and a stalled installer test can block validation. Both are bounded follow-ups with low merge risk.

The PR successfully implements MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations for AI clients by packaging the unic-mcp stdio server alongside the main unic TUI. The implementation is comprehensive and well-structured:

Key Changes:

  • Added plugin manifests for Codex (.codex-plugin), Claude (.claude-plugin), Kiro (plugin.json, mcp.json), and generic MCP clients (.mcp.json)
  • Updated GoReleaser configuration to build and package both unic and unic-mcp binaries in archives and Homebrew
  • Modified install.sh to install both binaries with proper permissions using the install command
  • Updated Makefile to build unic-mcp locally and clean it properly
  • Enhanced README.md with detailed installation and usage instructions for each supported AI client (Codex, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Kiro)
  • Added skills/unic-aws/SKILL.md with MCP server usage guidelines
  • Updated docs/development.md with agent-plugin package structure guidance
  • Added /unic-mcp to .gitignore

Verification:
The PR description indicates thorough testing including validation with plugin validators, MCP smoke tests, and verification of both binaries across platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows).

All changes appear to be production-ready with no blocking defects identified. The implementation follows best practices for MCP server integration and maintains consistency across different AI client ecosystems.

Addressed the three packaging/documentation findings in f0413ae:

  • All platform and release targets build both binaries. make archive bundles them under canonical executable names, with repeat-safe platform archives.
  • The installer rejects missing, empty, or unreadable binaries before replacing either existing executable. Offline tests cover missing/empty entries and successful installation; the original installer fails the missing-MCP regression.
  • Added the MCP feature entry and documented packaging and incomplete-archive behavior.

Validation: make test, make build, shell syntax, all five archive formats with fixture binaries (including reruns and missing-binary failure), and MCP initialize/tools-list/get-capabilities smoke passed. Full cross-compilation was not repeated.

This updates the existing #342 implementation. CI and Amazon Q passed on f0413ae; Amazon Q reported no blocking issues and has no actionable inline threads. CodeRabbit marked all three original findings addressed and resolved their threads; its overall review is still pending. The PR remains open.

This PR successfully adds MCP integration for AI clients by distributing the unic-mcp stdio server alongside the main unic TUI. The implementation is thorough and well-executed:

Strengths:

  • Comprehensive build system updates across Makefile, GoReleaser, and install scripts ensure both binaries are properly packaged and distributed
  • Atomic installer validation prevents partial installations by checking both binaries exist before replacing either one
  • Extensive documentation updates cover Homebrew, install script, source builds, and client-specific setup for Codex, Claude Code, and Kiro
  • Test coverage added for installer validation logic with multiple edge cases
  • Plugin manifests follow the Agent Plugins standard format for portability

Implementation Quality:

  • The installer properly uses install -m 0755 for explicit permission setting
  • GoReleaser configuration cleanly separates build and archive configurations for both binaries
  • Documentation correctly emphasizes keeping AWS credentials in the standard credential chain rather than MCP configuration
  • All changes maintain backward compatibility and follow the project's existing patterns

The verification steps confirm builds, packaging, and plugin validators all pass. No blocking issues identified.

Reviewed head: f0413ae

  1. [P2] Forward the AWS environment in the Codex adapter.mcp.json:4–6

    This server configuration has no env_vars. Codex builds an allowlisted environment and clears the inherited environment before launch; its defaults exclude AWS variables and XDG_CONFIG_HOME. If Codex is launched with shell-exported temporary AWS credentials and no on-disk credentials, MCP initialization succeeds but list_backup_vaults cannot authenticate. Dropping AWS_PROFILE can instead select the default AWS identity. The direct registration instructions at README.md:164–165 produce the same configuration. Add explicit variable-name forwarding through Codex's env_vars for the supported AWS credential/profile/config-location variables and unic's config location, and document the equivalent direct-registration configuration. Keep credential values out of the manifests and verify forwarding with dummy environment values in a client-launch smoke check.

Addressed the Codex environment review in d2ef000.

  • Added explicit forwarding of 24 AWS credential/profile/region/provider/configuration variables and XDG_CONFIG_HOME through .mcp.json env_vars. The manifest stores variable names only.
  • Documented equivalent direct registration and restarting Codex after changing shell exports; updated contributor validation guidance.

Validation: make test, make build, Claude plugin validation, and JSON/TOML consistency passed. With Codex CLI 0.153.4, both the installed plugin and the exact README direct configuration forwarded all 24 dummy values to the real unic-mcp child and discovered its four tools. An unlisted sentinel was excluded. Removing env_vars forwarded zero of the 24 values while tool discovery still succeeded, reproducing the original bug. No real credentials, model turns, or AWS tool calls were used.

This bounded follow-up addresses the human review on #342's existing PR. The two newly posted CodeRabbit findings concerning source-build PATH instructions and installer-test timeout remain open for a separate follow-up. The PR remains open pending further review and checks.
