v1.2.0 — Hosted MCP, no local install

Pickle is now hosted — no Node.js, no install scripts, no maintenance.

The local Node MCP server, install-manager.sh / install-team.sh, and /pickle-update are retired. Pickle is one paste-and-go MCP config block from your welcome email — that's it.

How to install (≈ 60 seconds)

1. Sign up at https://pickle.adityaarsharma.com — receive a one-time install block with your free Beta key.
2. Paste the pickle MCP block into ~/.claude.json (Claude Code / Claude Desktop) or your MCP host's equivalent (Cursor, Codex, Cline, Continue, Zed, Goose).
3. Quit your assistant and reopen.
4. In chat: type Pickle Start — the hosted setup wizard walks you through ClickUp / Slack / Microsoft Teams token capture.

How to upgrade from v1.1.x

Existing installs keep working short-term. To migrate cleanly:

1. Re-paste the latest pickle MCP block from your welcome email (header shape changed — now x-pickle-key + x-clickup-token / x-slack-token / x-teams-token).
2. Restart your assistant.
3. Optional cleanup of legacy files on disk:

   rm -rf ~/.claude/skills/pickle-update
   rm -rf ~/.claude/skills/pickle-setup
   rm -rf ~/.claude/pickle-mcp

Need a fresh welcome email? Re-issue at the landing page — same key gets re-issued.

What changed (engineering)

• Deleted pickle-mcp/ (bundled local Node server, ClickUp + Slack + Teams) and pickle-setup/ (now a hosted MCP tool).
• Stubbed pickle-update/SKILL.md, update.sh, install-manager.sh, install-team.sh — migration notices for one version cycle. Final deletion in v1.3.0.
• 3 surviving skills (pickle-clickup, pickle-slack, pickle-teams) — stripped local-MCP scaffolding, bundled-server preflights, version-check phone-home. Pattern detection (9 ClickUp audit patterns) stays client-side until server exposes audit tools (future v2.x work).
• CLAUDE.md — §2, §3, §6, §7, §9, §10, §12 rewritten for hosted-MCP reality + the live "Free during Beta + Pro coming" pricing framing.
• README — privacy framing aligned: tokens never persisted, stateless per-request, audit server-remote/server.mjs before connecting.
• Diff: +308 / −5630 lines (net 5,322 lines deleted).

Server status

Hosted MCP at pickle.adityaarsharma.com/mcp stays at v3.0.0 in production — no server code changed this release. Verified healthy with 16+ day uptime.

Privacy

Your ClickUp / Slack / Microsoft Graph tokens travel in HTTPS request headers to pickle.adityaarsharma.com/mcp, are used to call the platform API on your behalf, then discarded. Server stores no tokens, no task data, no message bodies, no logs. Open source — audit server-remote/server.mjs before you connect.

v1.1.0 — Hosted server source published for enterprise audit

Pickle's hosted MCP server, landing page, and welcome email template are now public for enterprise audit transparency. Runtime state (signups.json, usage.json, .env, node_modules) stays private.

What's now auditable in source

• server-remote/server.mjs — the entire hosted MCP server (2,753 lines)
• server-remote/public/index.html — full landing page
• server-remote/public/legal/ — privacy, terms, refund pages
• server-remote/public/admin.html — admin dashboard
• server-remote/package.json — runtime dependencies

New since v1.0.0

• 57 MCP tools live: 46 ClickUp + 1 pickle_setup + 5 Slack + 5 Microsoft Teams
• Free vs Pro split: 9 free ClickUp patterns vs 4 cross-tool patterns that ship later
• Install-prompt onboarding: signup → email-delivered prompt → AI installs Pickle into user's existing MCP config (alongside other servers, safe-harbour mode)
• "Pickle Start" trigger for the chat-guided platform setup
• Re-entrant pickle_setup that shows per-platform connection status
• Smart "wrong platform" errors that list what the user IS connected to
• Anonymous platforms_seen tracking per pickle key (no workspace data, just timestamps)
• Welcome email v3.2 — branded, copy-paste install prompt, founder vision, no Pro upsell pushiness

Privacy properties (verifiable in source)

• Stateless: platform tokens travel in HTTPS request headers, used in memory to call ClickUp/Slack/Teams APIs, then dropped. Nothing persisted server-side.
• No workspace data, no chat content, no task bodies are ever written to disk
• Same email → same pickle key (no key churn on re-signup)
• SSRF allowlist: api.clickup.com, slack.com, graph.microsoft.com, login.microsoftonline.com
• Zero hardcoded credentials; all secrets come from process.env

Install

```

1. Sign up at https://pickle.adityaarsharma.com (free, no card)
2. Email arrives with a one-time install prompt + your unique Pickle key
3. Paste the prompt into Claude Code / Cursor / Cline / Codex
4. Your AI installs Pickle into its own MCP config (safe-harbour, doesn't touch other servers)
5. Restart your assistant, type "Pickle Start" in a new chat
6. Guided setup walks you through ClickUp / Slack / Microsoft Teams token capture
   ```

v1.0.0 — Pickle: hosted MCP audit for ClickUp, Slack & Microsoft Teams

Pickle is a hosted MCP server that audits ClickUp, Slack, and Microsoft Teams workspaces for 13 patterns a good ops manager would catch — stale tasks, broken promises, decisions lost in DMs, 40-hour empty descriptions, ghost mode, and more.

Highlights

• Hosted MCP at https://pickle.adityaarsharma.com/mcp
• Stateless by design: user tokens travel only in HTTPS request headers, never written to disk or logged. No workspace data ever lands on Pickle's server.
• 57 MCP tools — 46 ClickUp + 1 setup wizard + 5 Slack + 5 Microsoft Teams
• Free 7-day audit window cap. Pro tier (Manager Mode, deeper history, always-watching agent) is being designed with the Beta cohort.
• Quality standards live in CLAUDE.md — read before editing.

Install (one-time)

1. Sign up at https://pickle.adityaarsharma.com to get your Pickle key by email.
2. Paste the MCP config block from the email into Claude / Cursor / Cline / Codex.
3. Restart your assistant.
4. In chat, ask: "Pickle, set me up for ClickUp" — Pickle walks you through the 30-second token setup.
5. Same flow for Slack and Microsoft Teams.
