docs(mcp-server): research + design for MCP Server project type#451
Merged
Conversation
Research findings and the decided approach for adding "MCP Server" as a first-class project type, modeled on the `research` precedent (commit 506a01f). Records the rich 6-field config, the overlay + 1-new-step scope, the full registration checklist (incl. src/project/adopt.ts exhaustiveness and src/wizard/wizard.ts WizardOptions), the net-new-step registration mechanism, a TDD-first outline with the PR1/PR2 split, and 6 resolved decisions. Multi-model reviewed (Claude + Gemini + Grok via MMR) to a clean pass; MCP transport claims verified against the official versioned spec.
