Fixes Claude Code marketplace plugin installation failure (bd-183).
Problem: The plugin.json manifest included an engines field (borrowed from npm)
to specify minimum bd CLI version requirements. However, Claude Code's plugin
manifest schema doesn't recognize this field, causing validation errors when
installing via /plugin marketplace add.
Solution:
1. Remove the engines field from plugin.json
2. Add runtime version checking in the MCP server startup
3. Update documentation to reflect automatic version checking
Changes:
- .claude-plugin/plugin.json: Remove unsupported engines field
- integrations/beads-mcp/src/beads_mcp/bd_client.py:
- Add BdVersionError exception class
- Add _check_version() method to validate bd CLI >= 0.9.0
- Use bd version command (not bd --version)
- integrations/beads-mcp/src/beads_mcp/tools.py:
- Make _get_client() async to support version checking
- Update all tool functions to await _get_client()
- Add version check on first MCP server use
- .claude-plugin/commands/bd-version.md: Update to mention automatic checking
- PLUGIN.md: Document automatic version validation at startup
Benefits:
- Plugin installs successfully via Claude Code marketplace
- Clear error messages if bd CLI version is too old
- Version check happens once per MCP server lifetime (not per command)
- Users get actionable update instructions in error messages
Closes bd-183
Fixes version inconsistencies across the project. All components now at 0.9.2:
Updated:
- .claude-plugin/plugin.json: 0.9.0 → 0.9.2
- .claude-plugin/marketplace.json: 0.9.0 → 0.9.2
- integrations/beads-mcp/pyproject.toml: 1.0.0 → 0.9.2
- README.md: v0.9.0 → v0.9.2
- PLUGIN.md: Updated version requirements
Root cause: Previous version bumps (0.9.0 → 0.9.1 → 0.9.2) only updated
cmd/bd/version.go, leaving other components out of sync.
The MCP server was initially versioned at 1.0.0 when added today, but
syncing to 0.9.2 for consistency since the project is still in alpha.

Adds a Claude Code plugin for one-command installation of beads via
/plugin command. The plugin bundles the MCP server, slash commands,
and an autonomous task agent.
Components:
- Plugin metadata with MCP server configuration
- 8 slash commands for core workflow (/bd-ready, /bd-create, etc.)
- Task agent for autonomous execution (@task-agent)
- Comprehensive plugin documentation (PLUGIN.md)
The plugin provides a lower-friction installation path for Claude Code
users who want integrated slash commands rather than direct MCP tools.
