### Description (declared)

# dcc-mcp-cli-bin — PyPI wrapper for the `dcc-mcp-cli` binary

This directory builds the `dcc-mcp-cli` PyPI project: one platform-specific
wheel per release that puts the Rust CLI on `PATH`.

```bash
# Run it without installing anything
uvx dcc-mcp-cli --version

# Or install it into a tool environment / venv
uv tool install dcc-mcp-cli
pip install dcc-mcp-cli
```

## Why a wrapper instead of a raw binary wheel?

`pkg/dcc-mcp-server-bin` ships its raw executable through maturin's
`bindings = "bin"`. `dcc-mcp-cli` deliberately does not:

| | Raw binary wheel | This wrapper |
|---|---|---|
| Per-release PyPI storage | ~165 MB (three platforms) | ~66 MB (three platforms) |
| PyPI 10 GB budget | ~60 releases | ~152 releases |
| Payload | the executable | the release zip, unpacked on first use |

The wheel embeds the same `dcc-mcp-cli-<version>-<platform>.zip` the GitHub
Release publishes, verifies its SHA-256 against `payload.json`, and unpacks it
into the environment's scripts directory on the first invocation.

```

## Where the binary lands, and why it matters

The bootstrap unpacks the executable into the scripts directory of the
interpreter that installed the wheel — `<venv>/bin` on POSIX,
`<venv>\Scripts` on Windows — and then executes it. Consequences:

- **Component contract.** `current_exe.parent()` resolves to that directory, so
  `dcc-mcp-cli components ensure dcc-cua` installs `dcc-cua` as a sibling and
  detects it on the next run. A package manager must therefore keep the…
