Rename repo to arcade-mcp-py #709

Description

@TheMostlyGreat

Summary

With the new TypeScript MCP server (arcade-mcp-ts), we should rename this Python repo to arcade-mcp-py for consistency.

Problem

The arcade-mcp repo name is currently used for Python. We've been marketing and promoting this URL. Renaming will:

  1. Break existing links/docs/bookmarks pointing to ArcadeAI/arcade-mcp
  2. GitHub redirects help temporarily, but aren't permanent
  3. PyPI package name stays arcade-mcp regardless (no change there)

Decision Needed

What happens to the arcade-mcp repo name after rename?

Options:

Option arcade-mcp becomes Pros Cons
A Nothing (let redirect expire) Simple Loses prime namespace
B Landing page/docs repo Preserves URL, central hub Extra repo to maintain
C Monorepo with both Python + TS Single source of truth Complex, may not fit workflows
D Redirect repo (README only) Minimal maintenance Feels hacky

Recommendation

Option B - Make arcade-mcp a docs/landing repo that links to both SDKs. This:

  • Preserves the marketed URL
  • Provides a single entry point for users
  • Can host shared docs/examples

Action Items

  1. Decide what arcade-mcp repo becomes
  2. Rename this repo to arcade-mcp-py
  3. Update all internal docs/links
  4. Update PyPI project URLs (homepage, repo link)
  5. Announce change to users
