xbrowser ships MCP server for AI agent integration

They opted to hand-write the JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol layer rather than use the official SDK, citing the protocol's simplicity, dependency discipline, and debuggability for their specific use case. AI

IMPACT Enables AI agents to discover and utilize specific CLI tools, potentially increasing automation capabilities.
