Project is listed on spark under the wrong repository. Can't claim ownership.

[JordanGunn]

I relocated the repository for gdal-mcp under my personal repository. The listing was observed under the created issue from @venturecrew here

It is listed on spark, but since it points to the old location, I can't verify ownership. Is there any way to correct this?

The correct repo location is here

Hey @JordanGunn, sorry about the long delay on this - it fell through the cracks on our side and that's on us.

You're right about the cause. When a repo gets renamed or transferred, our claim flow doesn't follow the redirect on the GitHub API call, so verification fails even though OAuth permissions on the new repo would be fine. That's a one-line fix on our side and I'm filing it now so this works automatically next time anyone moves their repo.

For your case specifically: I'll manually update the gdal-mcp listing on Spark to point at https://github.com/JordanGunn/gdal-mcp and ping back on this thread once it's done - should be within 24 hours. After that, https://spark.entire.vc/claim/vb-gdal will work for you when you're signed in with the GitHub account that owns the repo. I'll close this thread as answered once you've confirmed the claim went through.

Thanks for flagging it, and again, sorry for the wait.

Hi Howard,

No problem at all! Appreciate you getting back to me on this.

I did give it a go and am still getting an error. No rush, but just wanted to check in to see how that's going.

Again, appreciate you reaching out! Cheers!

Hey @JordanGunn - honest update: the manual fix I promised within 24h didn't actually ship on time, that's on me. I've re-pinged the dev queue today with the exact SQL to flip the listing URL to https://github.com/JordanGunn/gdal-mcp, so this should land within a day or two (by Friday May 22 at the latest). I'll comment here the moment the URL changes, then https://spark.entire.vc/claim/vb-gdal will work for you when you're signed in with the account that owns the repo. Sorry for the second delay.

Hi @JordanGunn - quick update, ahead of the Friday ETA.

The Spark listing URL has been corrected: https://spark.entire.vc/mcps/vb-gdal now points to https://github.com/JordanGunn/gdal-mcp.

Could you retry the claim flow on that page? OAuth should resolve against the new location and let you take ownership.

If anything still fails, drop the error here and we'll dig in.

Apologies for the wait. A code-level fix for auto-handling repo renames/transfers is still in the queue, but you shouldn't have to wait on that.
