getreadystack/cargo-publish-gate repository overview

⁠Cargo.toml Publish Gate - crates.io

Names every crates.io publish blocker in a Cargo.toml before the upload burns a version number.

⁠Run

docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/work getreadystack/cargo-publish-gate /work/file

The same 13 rules as the VS Code extension, in a container. Mount a folder on /work.

⁠Free

• Open any Cargo.toml, run the check, and read every crates.io publish blocker in it with its line number and its fix - nothing hidden, no countdown, no watermark.
• --rules lists every rule

⁠With a licence ($29 once)

• Gates every Cargo.toml in the workspace in one pass and writes a dated pre-publish report file you keep and attach to the release pull request.

docker run --rm -e READYSTACK_LICENSE=<key> -v "$PWD":/work getreadystack/cargo-publish-gate --dir /work --ci

A contract Rust engineer on the open freelance market starts near $50 an hour, and the hand check of one release manifest against the crates.io rules takes most of that hour, at every release.

⁠Use from an AI agent (MCP)

Claude Code · Cursor · Windsurf · any MCP client - add to your MCP config:

{ "mcpServers": { "cargo-publish-gate": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@readystack/cargo-publish-gate", "--mcp"] } } }

Tools: check_text and check_file (free) · check_dir (licence). The agent gets every finding with the line number.

⁠Use in CI

- name: Cargo.toml Publish Gate - crates.io
  run: npx -y @readystack/cargo-publish-gate --dir . --ci

(container: docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/work" getreadystack/cargo-publish-gate --dir /work --ci)

The folder sweep, reports and CI mode need one licence — one payment, no subscription. Set READYSTACK_LICENSE=<key> or run --license <key> once.
