bmad-mcp: merges, scores, saves, advances to next stage

# Step 1: Install globally from npm
npm install -g bmad-mcp

# Step 2: Add to Claude Code
claude mcp add-json --scope user bmad '{"type":"stdio","command":"bmad-mcp"}'

# Step 3: Verify installation
bmad-mcp
# Expected output: "BMAD MCP Server running on stdio"

User: Use bmad-task to create a user authentication system

Claude Code will:
1. Start BMAD workflow (PO stage)
2. Generate Product Requirements Document (with interactive Q&A)
3. Generate System Architecture (with interactive Q&A)
4. Create Sprint Plan
5. Implement code (using Codex)
6. Perform code review
7. Run quality assurance tests

All artifacts saved to: .claude/specs/user-authentication-system/
