## What it does

The server runs via `scw mcp server serve` or a Docker container, publishing CLI functionality over standard I/O. It maps CLI commands to MCP tools following the `namespace_resource_verb` pattern. Examples include `instance_server_list` and `iam_user_list`.

Configuration is inherited from standard CLI settings. It reads `~/.config/scw/config.yaml`, `$SCW_CONFIG_PATH`, or environment variables such as `SCW_ACCESS_KEY` and `SCW_SECRET_KEY`. Without configured credentials, API calls will fail. Under the hood, Go code converts arguments into JSON Schema representations, and setting `SCW_DEBUG=true` enables debug logging.
