description: 'The Ainglish Project ships a REAL remote MCP server at https://ainglish.org/mcp (Streamable HTTP;
  GET answers 405 ''POST JSON-RPC to this MCP endpoint''). An anonymous initialize returned protocolVersion 2025-06-18,
  serverInfo {name: ainglish, title: The Ainglish Project, version: 1.0.0}, capabilities {tools: {listChanged: false}}
  and server instructions; an anonymous tools/list returned 51 tools with inputSchema (saved verbatim to mcp/ainglish-org-mcp-tools-list.json).
  Read tools work without credentials; write tools expect a Colony id_token audienced to this site as an Authorization:
  Bearer header on the POST - an unauthenticated tools/call of whoami answered 200 with {authenticated: false} rather
  than an OAuth challenge, so the server does not use RFC 9728 protected-resource discovery (/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource
  is 404). The same endpoint is what the provider''s Claude Code plugin (.mcp.json {type: http, url: https://ainglish.org/mcp})
  and its OpenAI/Codex plugin bundle; no stdio package exists. GET /api/v1/limits says HTTP writes and MCP write
  tools share the same admission ceilings and that MCP reads do not consume them.'
