Native helper binaries may be blocked on managed Macs (code signing)

[bryan-anthropic]

Hi — we're adding NotePlan MCP to the Anthropic MCP Directory. We built from your npm package (@noteplanco/noteplan-mcp v1.1.21) and the server works well — 14 tools, all annotated, clean audit.

We noticed that scripts/calendar-helper and scripts/reminders-helper are adhoc-signed (Signature=adhoc, TeamIdentifier=not set). On unmanaged Macs this works fine, but users on managed corporate Macs running Santa or strict Gatekeeper policies will see these binaries blocked, causing calendar and reminders features to fail silently.

The fix would be to sign both helpers with an Apple Developer ID certificate and notarize them:

codesign --sign "Developer ID Application: <Your Team>" --options runtime scripts/calendar-helper
codesign --sign "Developer ID Application: <Your Team>" --options runtime scripts/reminders-helper
xcrun notarytool submit <archive> --apple-id <email> --team-id <team>

This isn't blocking publication — we're publishing the server as-is since the core note management tools all work. Just flagging it so you're aware of the managed Mac edge case for a future update.
