Hi folks! Please let me know if you'd like me to make any adjustments or if you need more info.

This PR proposes a discriminated union type to meet type expectations when creating an MCP server with the MCP typescript SDK.

Here's the error I got when I returned an object created by createHtmlResource() from the SDK's McpServer:

No overload matches this call.
  Overload 1 of 6, '(name: string, description: string, paramsSchemaOrAnnotations: { [x: string]: unknown; title?: string | undefined; readOnlyHint?: boolean | undefined; destructiveHint?: boolean | undefined; idempotentHint?: boolean | undefined; openWorldHint?: boolean | undefined; } | {}, cb: (args: {}, extra: RequestHandlerExtra<...>) => { ...; } | Promise<...>): RegisteredTool', gave the following error.

@aharvard can you try wrapping the exhaustive check clause in parentheses - and check if it fixes the lint error?

Suggested change
default:
// Exhaustive check
const exhaustiveCheck: never = options.delivery;
throw new Error(`Invalid delivery type: ${exhaustiveCheck}`);
default: {
// Exhaustive check
const exhaustiveCheck: never = options.delivery;
throw new Error(`Invalid delivery type: ${exhaustiveCheck}`);
}

Ah, thanks for the heads up! I wrapped it with an IIFE, and that fixed it locally.
