name: Close invalid publish PRs

# Stage 2 of 2 (see detect-invalid-publish-prs.yml for stage 1).
#
# Runs in the trusted base-repo context (triggered by workflow_run, not by the
# PR itself), so it has a write token. It picks up the PR number flagged by
# stage 1 and, after independently re-validating the PR from the API, posts a
# comment pointing at the publishing docs, labels it `invalid`, and closes it.
#
# Trust boundary: the ONLY thing crossing from the untrusted stage is the PR
# number (sanitized to digits below). We re-derive every decision (state,
# author, changed files) here, so a wrong/stale artifact can never cause us to
# close a PR that doesn't actually match.

      COMMENT_BODY: |
        Hi @__AUTHOR__ 👋 — thanks for your interest in the MCP Registry!

        It looks like this PR is trying to publish an MCP server by adding or editing files in this repository (under `servers/` or in `data/seed.json`). That isn't how servers get published, so I'm closing this PR automatically.

        **Servers are published with the [`mcp-publisher`](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/blob/main/docs/modelcontextprotocol-io/quickstart.mdx) CLI**, not by opening a pull request against this repo. The CLI verifies that you own your namespace and submits your `server.json` directly to the live registry API.

        To publish your server, follow the **[Publishing Quickstart](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry/blob/main/docs/modelcontextprotocol-io/quickstart.mdx)**. In short:

        ```bash
        # Build the publisher CLI
        make publisher

        # Authenticate (e.g. via GitHub) and publish your server.json
        ./bin/mcp-publisher login github
        ./bin/mcp-publisher publish
        ```

        Note: `data/seed.json` is seed data for **local development only** — adding entries there does not publish anything to the registry.

        If you believe this was closed in error, please leave a comment and a maintainer will take a look. 🙇
