Why

The nightly Deepnote MCP drift check fails and keeps re-opening #10. The hosted server advertises 34 tools; 13 of them appear in no SKILL.md, which is what scripts/detect-deepnote-mcp-drift.sh greps for.

Missing: attach_integration, copy_file, delete_block, detach_integration, duplicate_notebook, create_integration, create_streamlit_app, get_project, get_streamlit_app_status, list_folders, list_streamlit_apps, update_notebook, generate_project_url.

What

Each tool is documented in the skill an agent would actually consult, with parameters, permissions, and failure modes taken from the server implementation in deepnote-internal (apps/webapp/server/mcp/tools/* and the v2 public API contracts they bridge to), not guessed.

  • deepnote-mcp: every tool in the Available Hosted Tools list (also adds the previously undocumented update_project and publish_static_site), new routing rows, and new workflows for Project Inspection, Integration Management, Streamlit Apps, and Cross-Project File Copy. Static Site Workflow now reads staticFiles from get_project. Safety rules cover delete_block and the credential echo in create_integration responses.
  • deepnote-notebook-editing: update_notebook (rename only, Init designates the init notebook), duplicate_notebook (same project, auto-named), delete_block with a Block Deletion Guidance section. Corrects the sentence claiming MCP exposes no deletion.
  • deepnote-links: generate_project_url as the preferred single-link source with the manual URL shapes as fallback; Streamlit and static-site URLs come from tool responses, never hand-built.
  • deepnote-data-execution: get_project; fixes the stale line saying the server cannot upload static-site files.
  • README + manifests: capabilities list, first prompts, troubleshooting, boundary sentences; drops the "once publish_static_site appears" hedging since it is live; plugin version 0.3.0.

Notable behaviours captured: attach/detach return 409 rather than being idempotent; create_integration is admin-only and cannot create warehouse integrations; create_streamlit_app needs an existing file, restarts the machine, and the URL is only live once get_streamlit_app_status reports running; copy_file is cross-project only, never overwrites, and has no destination path; update_block still rejects metadata.

Verification

  • Simulated the drift script's grep against the 34 tools the live server advertised in the failing run: 0 missing.
  • claude plugin validate --strict . and claude plugin validate --strict plugins/deepnote pass.
  • All JSON manifests parse.

Not run: the real scripts/detect-deepnote-mcp-drift.sh against the live server, since I have no DEEPNOTE_TOKEN locally. Triggering the workflow with workflow_dispatch after merge will confirm.

Relationship to #11

#11 adds the deepnote-dynamic-apps skill and does not mention any of the 13 tools, so it does not affect the drift check. Both PRs touch the routing table in deepnote-mcp/SKILL.md and a paragraph in deepnote-notebook-editing/SKILL.md; whichever lands second needs a small rebase.

Follow-ups

  • docs/deepnote-mcp.md in deepnote/deepnote covers only 5 of the 13 tools and should be synced separately.
  • The workflow re-opens [mcp-drift]: Add missing Deepnote MCP tools descriptions #10 on failure but never closes it on success; this PR closes it via the commit message, and an auto-close step could be added later.

Closes #10

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Expanded Deepnote support for workspace search, project and notebook editing, folder inspection, integration management, and cross-project file copying.
    • Added workflows for creating, monitoring, and publishing Streamlit apps.
    • Enhanced static-site publishing and project link generation.
    • Added notebook rename and duplication capabilities with safeguards for destructive edits.
  • Documentation

    • Updated setup, capability, troubleshooting, credential, publishing, file-copy, and app startup guidance.
    • Documented compatibility with additional AI agents.
  • Chores

    • Updated plugin metadata and version to 0.4.0.

The nightly Deepnote MCP drift check fails because the hosted server
advertises tools no SKILL.md mentions: attach_integration, copy_file,
delete_block, detach_integration, duplicate_notebook, create_integration,
create_streamlit_app, get_project, get_streamlit_app_status, list_folders,
list_streamlit_apps, update_notebook, and generate_project_url.

Document each tool where an agent would look for it, with contracts taken
from the server implementation:

- deepnote-mcp: full tool list, routing rows, and new Project Inspection,
  Integration Management, Streamlit App, and Cross-Project File Copy
  workflows; static-site steps now use get_project for current state.
- deepnote-notebook-editing: update_notebook, duplicate_notebook, and
  delete_block, plus a deletion guidance section; correct the claim that
  MCP exposes no deletion.
- deepnote-links: generate_project_url as the preferred link source;
  Streamlit and static-site URLs come from tool responses.
- deepnote-data-execution: get_project; fix the stale sentence saying the
  server cannot upload static-site files.
- README and manifests: capabilities list, prompts, troubleshooting, and
  boundary sentences; drop the publish_static_site hedging now that it is
  live; bump the plugin to 0.3.0.

Closes #10

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Deepnote plugin metadata now advertises project editing, integration management, static-site publishing, and Streamlit apps. MCP guidance now lists tools, arguments, safety rules, and response requirements. Workspace guidance covers folders, projects, integrations, and cross-project file copying. Notebook guidance covers renaming, duplication, and block deletion. Link guidance places cell and block fragments after UTM parameters. README examples and troubleshooting guidance were expanded.

Explanation

The PR updates documentation in agent-plugins: README, manifests, and Deepnote skills now document all 13 missing MCP tools. The diff contains no feature implementation. However, the required primary documentation in deepnote/deepnote and the roadmap in private deepnote-internal are not available in this checkout; the PR description also says docs/deepnote-mcp.md still needs a separate sync.

create_streamlit_app to state that the entrypoint must exist in the source
project before creation and must be confirmed via the files list from
get_project; allow copy_file when that source file already exists, since it can
create the target entrypoint from it.

In `@plugins/deepnote/skills/deepnote-notebook-editing/SKILL.md`:
- Line 71: Update the workflow guidance around update_block and delete_block to
state that an explicit metadata-change request authorizes deleting the old block
only after the replacement created with create_block has been verified; retain
the rule that delete_block is otherwise limited to explicit deletion requests.
- Line 71: Update the metadata replacement guidance around create_block and
delete_block to capture the original block position, pass it when creating the
replacement, then remove the old block while preserving order. Require verifying
the notebook’s final block order after replacement, while keeping update_block
restrictions unchanged.
