Developer finds README errors after misinterpreting tool counts

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The author of the saga-mcp project discovered discrepancies between its README documentation and the actual tool count provided by the software. While the README initially stated 35 tools, a manual verification yielded 22. This led to an incorrect submission to the Cline MCP marketplace. Further investigation revealed that the discrepancy was due to an outdated version of the package being tested, likely due to a stale npx cache. The README was later updated to reflect accurate figures, including a corrected tool count and test count, with the update co-authored by Claude Opus 5. AI

    My README Was Mostly Right. The Number I "Verified" Wasn't.

    <p>saga-mcp is my MCP server for project tracking. SQLite-backed projects, epics, tasks and subtasks, so a coding agent doesn't lose the plan the moment a session ends. It's on npm as <code>saga-mcp</code>. On 2026-09-04 at 14:29 I was doing something unglamorous with it: filing …
