MCP store rejections avoided with pre-flight gate and CI checks

To avoid vague rejections from the MCP store, developers can implement a pre-flight gate. This involves freezing the submitted version, pinning manifests, tool lists, and authentication scopes to a commit. Before resubmitting, developers should validate schemas and examples using strict validators, compare tool changes against the last commit, and ensure scope minimization and stable naming. A basic CI setup with tools like Ajv or Zod can catch schema drift, while keeping commit pairs and logs readily available helps reviewers understand changes and address rejections with specific information.
