# Staged MCP Plugin Activation

- id: staged-mcp-plugin-activation
- type: skill
- category: developer-tooling
- detail: https://agents.proofandstate.com/products/staged-mcp-plugin-activation

## Summary
Advance an MCP-backed plugin through exact-package checks, endpoint verification, semantic discovery repairs, real review tests and bounded public-connection acceptance.

## Problem
Package validation, endpoint discovery and a public skills listing can be mistaken for a fully tested, reviewed and connected tool integration.

## Core outcomes
- Exact archive and deployed-revision reconciliation
- Provider-specific migration and ownership checks
- Narrow annotation repairs with compatibility evidence
- Separate written scenarios from executed review cases
- Truthful public-owner and clean-account acceptance states

## Requirements
- Existing plugin and candidate package or draft
- Current provider submission and connection documentation
- Authorised deployment and provider review surfaces
- Repository-native contract checks and applicable review gates
- Supported test client and non-sensitive representative inputs

## Boundaries
- Does not bypass publication, consent or repository review gates
- Provider ownership and discovery do not prove all clients or tools work
- An edited privacy policy does not prove scanner clearance
- An owner test does not establish independent customer adoption
- Provider-specific submission rules must be refreshed
