Implementation Reference
- server.py:18-22 (handler)MCP tool handler for 'roll_dice'. Registers the tool via @mcp.tool() decorator and implements the logic by instantiating DiceRoller and returning its string representation.

Includes parsing of dice notation (e.g., 2d20k1), random roll generation, sorting, keeping highest rolls, multiple rolls support, and formatted output.
