Optional MCP adapter

The DATAMIMIC CLI is the baseline interface. Install MCP only when the calling environment already uses MCP:

pip install "datamimic-ce[mcp]"
datamimic-mcp --transport stdio

The adapter exposes exactly four tools. Each accepts the same typed request and returns the same typed result as the corresponding authoring service operation:

MCP tool	CLI equivalent
datamimic_reference	datamimic reference
datamimic_scaffold	datamimic scaffold
datamimic_check	datamimic lint
datamimic_run	datamimic dry-run

There are no MCP-only generators, domain catalogs, schema resources, recipes, or alternate authoring workflows. Query datamimic_reference with topic=authoring for the live Intent Model surface, then submit one canonical AuthoringSpecV1 document to datamimic_scaffold.

For SSE transport:

datamimic-mcp --transport sse --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8765

Set DATAMIMIC_MCP_API_KEY to require either Authorization: Bearer <key> or X-API-Key: <key> on SSE requests. API-key policy does not apply to stdio.
