Migrating from synology-mcp

If you're upgrading from synology-mcp (v0.3.x or earlier), the package has been renamed. A migration script handles config, state, keyring entries, and Claude Desktop config automatically:

# Download and run the migration script curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cmeans/mcp-synology/main/scripts/migrate-from-synology-mcp.py python migrate-from-synology-mcp.py # dry run — preview changes python migrate-from-synology-mcp.py --apply # apply changes

The script migrates:

Config directory (~/.config/synology-mcp/ → ~/.config/mcp-synology/)

State directory (~/.local/state/synology-mcp/ → ~/.local/state/mcp-synology/)

Keyring credentials
