-"""MCP server entry point (scaffold).
+"""MCP stdio server entry point.
 
-The real stdio server, tool registration, and dispatch logic land in
-subsequent commits. This stub only advertises the package version so
-``python -m metin_release_mcp`` doesn't crash during the scaffold
-commit.
+Registers each :data:`~metin_release_mcp.tool_defs.TOOL_SPECS` entry as
+an MCP tool. On invocation the handler:
+
+1. Validates input via the tool's JSON schema (enforced by the SDK) and
+   by :func:`~metin_release_mcp.tool_defs.build_cli_args`.
+2. Shells out to ``metin-release <subcommand> --json …`` via
+   :func:`~metin_release_mcp.cli_runner.run_cli`.
+3. Returns the parsed JSON envelope as the MCP tool result.
+
+The server contains **no release business logic**. If the CLI returns a
+non-zero exit or an ``ok=false`` envelope, the wrapper passes that
+envelope back to the caller verbatim, tagging it with the CLI stderr as
+diagnostic text.
