Summary

  • Remove src/eve_mcp/client.py (EVEMCPClient) and its placeholder tests/test_client.py. Per the v0.0.1 release checklist, the in-tree client is not the right way to consume an MCP server — it spawns the server itself as a subprocess and shipping it from the package's public API mis-signals that pattern as endorsed.
  • Trim src/eve_mcp/config.py to just SERVER_MODULE. PYTHON_BIN and PYTHON_PATH existed only to feed the removed StdioServerParameters call; tests still import SERVER_MODULE.
  • Expand README.md from a one-line stub into install / config / run / dev sections, with an alpha/WIP banner and the list of MCP tools the server registers.

Stacks on top of #2 (clean/cicd). Will retarget to main once #2 merges.

A correct client example can be reintroduced later under examples/ alongside hosts that drive the server the canonical way.

Test plan

  • poetry run pre-commit run --all-files — all hooks pass
  • CI matrix (3.11 / 3.12 / 3.13 / 3.14) — verify after push
  • Manual smoke: poetry run python -m eve_mcp.server boots over stdio

Per collaborator guidance for v0.0.1, the in-tree MCP client demo is
not the right way to consume an MCP server: it spawns the server
itself as a subprocess and shipping it from the package's public API
mis-signals that pattern as endorsed. Real hosts (Claude Desktop,
Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) launch the server themselves via their
own config.

Also trim config.py to just SERVER_MODULE; PYTHON_BIN / PYTHON_PATH
existed only to feed the removed StdioServerParameters call. Tests
still import SERVER_MODULE.

Can be reintroduced later under examples/ alongside correct usage.
Replace the one-line stub with: alpha/WIP banner, the list of MCP
tools the server registers, install instructions (including
submodule init), env var table for EVE_EMAIL / EVE_PASSWORD /
EVE_BASE_URL, the stdio run command, and pre-commit setup.

Addresses the v0.0.1 README ask from the collaborator's release
checklist.
