mcp

Run the explicit read-only MCP tool surface. Requires pip install 'metawarc[mcp]'.

metawarc mcp --dbfile collection.db                    # stdio
metawarc mcp --dbfile collection.db --transport http  # loopback only by default
metawarc mcp --dbfile collection.db --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --allow-insecure

--transport: stdio (default), http, or sse. --host: default 127.0.0.1. --port: default 8191.

Non-loopback HTTP/SSE binding requires --allow-insecure. Tools: list_archives, list_records, get_record_metadata, get_record_headers. No raw SQL, filesystem paths, payloads, or mutations.
