thoughts after using mcp for a day - should be a default way of distributing mcp servers as `npm` packages. - should fill out the default command, along with any ENV args in a standard manifest. - installation should be an `npm install -g` - claude reads the manifest and prompts for the args - "ask for an OpenAI token. This is needed for <x." - claude auto-inserts this info into `.claude.json`. Average Consumer MCP DevX should be something like "oh, i want this mcp server" "npx @server/that-i-want" >> "detects setup, starts claude with prompt" "please specify an OpenAI api key"> >> provide key >> bot writes key out to `.claude.json` under `mcpServers`. >> done

also incredibly surprised that the MCP inspector didn't work as anticipated. `SSE` vs. `stdio` for the transports seems to not be cleanly handled in that tool.
