-The wrappers intentionally register only the portable skill. They do not
-install npm packages, register the MCP server, authenticate an account, or
-change user-level host settings. The separately staged MCP identity is
-`org.openlyuseful/operations-pulse`, backed by the future npm package
-`@openly-useful/operations-pulse-mcp`.
+The wrappers register the portable skill plus the immutable stdio command
+`npx --yes @openly-useful/operations-pulse-mcp@0.1.0`. They do not authenticate
+an account, install a scheduler, configure adapters, or collect credentials.
+The corresponding MCP Registry identity is `org.openlyuseful/operations-pulse`.
+After installing or upgrading the plugin, start a new Codex task or restart
+Claude Code so the host refreshes its MCP tools. By default the MCP database is
+`.operations-pulse/pulse.sqlite` under the host process working directory;
+set `OPERATIONS_PULSE_DB` in the host environment to choose an explicit path.
