MCP server

Six tools, not thirty endpoints. A chatty server makes an agent burn context stitching fragments and gives it room to hallucinate the join.

Each tool declares its meter, because no human approves individual agent calls and a metadata lookup should not cost what a live cross-seller compare costs.
