Implement CI/CD Pipeline with GitHub Actions

[alioshr]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, there is no automated process for testing, building, and publishing the memory-bank-mcp package. This makes it difficult to ensure code quality and streamline releases. Manual publishing can lead to inconsistencies and potential errors.

Describe the solution you'd like
Implement a GitHub Actions workflow that automates:

1. Testing and validation
2. Package building
3. npm publishing
4. GitHub release creation

The workflow should trigger on:

• Push to main branch (full pipeline including publish)
• Pull requests (testing and validation only)

Describe alternatives you've considered

1. CircleCI - But GitHub Actions is free for public repos and better integrated
2. Manual release process - Too error-prone and time-consuming
3. Local scripts - Lacks consistency across different environments

Memory Bank Impact

• Project isolation/security:

  • No impact on project isolation
  • Requires secure handling of npm tokens
  • Maintains existing security measures

• Memory bank file structure:

  • Adds .github/workflows directory
  • No changes to core memory bank structure
  • No impact on existing file operations

• MCP tool interactions:

  • No changes to MCP protocol
  • No impact on existing tools
  • Enhances reliability of the package

• User workflow:

  • Simplifies contribution process
  • Automates version management
  • Standardizes release process

• Configuration requirements:

  • Requires npm token as GitHub secret
  • No changes to existing env variables
  • No impact on user configuration

Additional context
The workflow will use GitHub's standard runners:

• Ubuntu latest for build/test
• Node.js 18.x environment
• Standard npm commands

Example Usage

# Example GitHub Actions workflow
name: CI/CD

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: '18'
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm test

  publish:
    needs: test
    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: '18'
          registry-url: 'https://registry.npmjs.org'
      - run: npm ci
      - run: npm publish
        env:
          NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{secrets.NPM_TOKEN}}
