third_party: declare server placement for TinyFish, beehiiv, Trello, Buffer, Plaud - #438

Conversation
…Buffer, Plaud (1.0.1) Grok Bot dials only SERVER-placed hosted MCP rows. These plugins shipped without a declared placement, so their rows stay UNDECIDED (the placement probe writer is gated off by default) and Grok Bot shows the plugin as installed with no connect/sign-in card. x-money already declares placement: server and works; this applies the same field. Version bumps so clients pick up the new manifest.

Same fix as cursor#438 for the PostHog MCP plugin; the field was pushed to the cursor#437 branch after that PR merged.

What this fixes
TinyFish, beehiiv, Trello, Buffer and Plaud install in Grok Bot but never show a connect / sign-in card — the detail sheet lists the connector under Apps with no Accounts or Tools section, and the bot reports the plugin "isn't registering a live connector".
Cause: Grok Bot dials only SERVER-placed hosted MCP rows (
resolveEffectiveMcpPlacement→undialedMcpRowResult). A plugin whosemcp.jsonhas noplacementfield gets an UNDECIDED row, and the probe that would decide it is behindmcp_placement_probe_decides(default off), so nothing ever promotes it.x-money— which works in Grok Bot — declares"placement": "server"; these five did not.Fix: add
"placement": "server"to each server entry (resolved as sourceexplicit, ahead of the stored column), bump each plugin to 1.0.1 so clients re-fetch the manifest, and add a CHANGELOG line.Verified

Note
Low Risk
Manifest-only metadata changes across five third-party plugins; no runtime or auth logic is modified.
Overview
Adds
"placement": "server"to the MCP server entries for beehiiv, Buffer, Plaud, TinyFish, and Trello, matching the pattern already used by working connectors such asx-money.Without this field, Grok Bot treats the connector row as UNDECIDED and does not dial the hosted HTTP endpoint, so users see the app listed but no Accounts / connect or sign-in flow. Explicit server placement routes these integrations through the hosted MCP path on desktop and mobile.
Each plugin is bumped to 1.0.1 in
plugin.jsonwith a matching CHANGELOG entry so clients pick up the updated manifest.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit dcb387c. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
