Why

Follow-up from the self-review of #48.

• mcp 2 hold. ci: add shared security scan and actionlint #48 capped mcp at <2 in pyproject.toml, because src/animawatch/server.py imports mcp.server.fastmcp, which mcp 2.x removed. Renovate then opened fix(deps): update dependency mcp to v2 #50 (mcp>=2.3,<3), and its Test job fails at collection:

  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mcp.server.fastmcp'. This is mcp 2.x, where FastMCP was renamed to MCPServer ... or pin 'mcp<2' to keep running v1 code.

  Without a Renovate rule it will keep proposing 2.x. The migration (FastMCP to MCPServer plus the other v2 API changes) is a real port of the server, so it is left for a deliberate PR rather than done inside a dependency bump.

• House preset. renovate.json still extended plain config:recommended. ci: add shared security scan and actionlint #48 added the shared security and actionlint workflows but missed the switch to github>rishitank/.github:python, which the other repos use.

What changed

renovate.json only:

• extends: ["github>rishitank/.github:python"];
• a packageRules entry holding mcp at allowedVersions: "<2", with the reason and the migration guide link.

Validated with renovate-config-validator. The house preset groups GitHub Actions bumps into one PR, so the single-action PRs #41 to #47 will be replaced by that group.

#50 is closed with a pointer here.

Walkthrough

The Renovate configuration now extends the Python preset and adds a package rule that allows mcp versions below 2.

Changes

Renovate configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary

Self-review by Claude

Checked: renovate.json (bb5f9cf). It extends the house preset github>rishitank/.github:python and adds a packageRules hold on mcp <2, because mcp v2 removes mcp.server.fastmcp (Renovate #50 failed Test with No module named 'mcp.server.fastmcp' and is now closed). The config passes renovate-config-validator, and all checks are green.

Follow-up for Rishi: lift the hold once animawatch is ported to the mcp v2 server API.
