🎯 Smart Identifier Resolution
Stop wrestling with UUIDs! Vultr MCP's killer feature is smart identifier resolution - use human-readable names instead of cryptic UUIDs across all services.
🏷️ Before vs After
# 😤 The old way (UUIDs everywhere)
vultr instance stop cb676a46-66fd-4dfb-b839-443f2e6c0b60
vultr firewall rule add 5f2a4b6c-7b8d-4e9f-a1b2-3c4d5e6f7a8b --port 443
# 🎉 The Vultr MCP way (human names!)
mcp-vultr instances stop web-server
mcp-vultr firewall rules add web-servers --port 443
🧠 Smart Resolution Across All Services
