• src/uscardforum/server_tools/users.py:50-83 (handler)

  MCP tool handler for 'get_user_topics'. Defines input schema (username: str, page: int|None), output as list[dict], docstring with details. Delegates execution to DiscourseClient.get_user_topics.

  DiscourseClient wrapper: calls UsersAPI.get_user_topics and enriches results with category names using _enrich_with_categories.
