"""
Simple MCP stdio <-> WebSocket pipe with optional unified config.
Version: 0.2.0
Usage (env):
export MCP_ENDPOINT=<ws_endpoint>
# Windows (PowerShell): $env:MCP_ENDPOINT = "<ws_endpoint>"
Start server process(es) from config:
Run all configured servers (default)
python mcp_pipe.py
Run a single local server script (back-compat)
python mcp_pipe.py path/to/server.py
Config discovery order:
$MCP_CONFIG, then ./mcp_config.json
Env overrides:
(none for proxy; uses current Python: python -m mcp_proxy)
