However, \"fastmcp\" name clashes with another framework in Python ecosystem. Therefore, I have been trying to rename my project to vitemcp.\n\nI own vitemcp.com, github.com/vitemcp, x.com/vitemcp, etc. _and_ I also own npmjs.com/vite-mcp\n\nI have been trying to rename \"vite-mcp\" to \"vitemcp\" for over a month, but hit dead ends through every channel. Support refused with rename (of a dead and unused project) on the ground of 'security'\n\nI would greatly appreciate anyone who could assist with the matter.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48858400](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48858400)\n\nPoints: 2\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-who-knows-someone-at-github-npm-team", "canonical_source": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48858400", "published_at": "2026-07-10 11:18:55+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-10 11:35:16.810186+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["developer-tools"], "entities": ["GitHub", "NPM", "FastMCP", "vitemcp"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-who-knows-someone-at-github-npm-team", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-who-knows-someone-at-github-npm-team.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-who-knows-someone-at-github-npm-team.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/ask-hn-who-knows-someone-at-github-npm-team.jsonld"}}
