Description
Summary
This PR extracts shared Bicep MCP tool logic into a new
Azure.Bicep.McpServer.CoreNuGet library, enabling consumers to build their own remote MCP servers (e.g., with HTTP transport) without depending on the tool package or building from source. The existing stdio-basedAzure.Bicep.McpServertool remains unchanged for VS Code and local use.Architecture

The existing
Azure.Bicep.McpServeris published as a NuGet tool (PackAsTool=true), which cannot be consumed as a library viaPackageReference(NuGet returns errorNU1212). Extracting shared code intoAzure.Bicep.McpServer.Coreallows consumers — including internal teams — to reference it as a standard library and build custom MCP servers with any transport.Checklist
