## Summary
Addresses two related enhancements to `mcp-publisher init`:
- **Copy `version` from `package.json`** (#736): When `package.json` is
present and contains a `version` field, it is now used for both the
top-level `version` and `packages[].version` in the generated
`server.json`. Falls back to `"1.0.0"` when unavailable. This aligns
with the recommended best practice of keeping server version in sync
with package version.
- **Prefer `mcpName` over `name`** (#737): The init command now checks
for `mcpName` in `package.json` first, falling back to `name` if
`mcpName` is not defined. This ensures the generated server name matches
the required `mcpName` property.
Closes#736Closes#737
## Changes
- `cmd/publisher/commands/init.go`:
- Added `getVersionFromPackageJSON()` helper to read version from
`package.json`
- Modified `InitCommand()` to use detected version with `"1.0.0"`
fallback
- Modified `getNameFromPackageJSON()` to prefer `mcpName` over `name`
## Test plan
- [x] `go build ./cmd/publisher/...` compiles without errors
- [x] `go test ./cmd/publisher/commands/...` passes all existing tests
- [ ] Manual: run `mcp-publisher init` in a directory with
`package.json` containing `version` and `mcpName` — verify both are
copied to `server.json`
- [ ] Manual: run `mcp-publisher init` in a directory with
`package.json` without `mcpName` — verify `name` is used as fallback
- [ ] Manual: run `mcp-publisher init` in a directory without
`package.json` — verify defaults (`"1.0.0"`, directory name) are used
