Owner

Follows the madtea decision in sixfold-space/madtea#450 (option 3): the madtea plugin carries the hooks and skills only. It no longer bundles the MCP server.

Why

The MCP server is a separate install and the single tool surface. Bundling it in the plugin registered every madt_ tool twice for a user who already ran the server, fixable only by a manual deny in their client config. Narrowing the plugin removes that, and keeps the one thing the bare server does not deliver: the agent-safety hooks and the workflow skills.

Work in this repo (plugins/madtea/)

Remove the bundled MCP server from the plugin so it no longer registers a madt_ tool surface. The plugin provides hooks and skills only.
.claude-plugin/plugin.json: drop the version field. Update detection keys off this repo's commit hash, per the Claude Code plugin docs.
marketplace.json: no version on the madtea entry (never set it in both places).
Fix the plugin description: it is a hooks-and-skills Claude Code plugin. Drop the "works with OpenAI Codex CLI and Antigravity CLI" text - that reach is the MCP server, a separate install.

Paired work

sixfold-space/madtea#443 - the madtea-side assemble rework and source .claude-plugin/ removal.
sixfold-space/madtea#437 - the manifest-vs-docs finding this resolves.

Done when

The vendored madtea plugin is hooks + skills only, with no server declaration.
The manifest and the marketplace entry carry no version.
The description names it a hooks-and-skills Claude Code plugin, with no cross-client claim.
A fresh /plugin install madtea@sixfold-plugins adds the hooks and skills and does not add a second madt_ tool surface.
