Tools

The publisher has not disclosed a tool manifest. The tool list can only be seen by connecting to the server, which this catalogue does not do on the publisher's behalf.

Command line alternative

None found. The published package declares no executable and no matching Homebrew formula exists, so the MCP server appears to be the only route. This is a negative result from automated checks, not a statement from the publisher.
