note: 'ALTR ships no precompiled first-party CLI binary. Its own MCP server repository documents building one: mcporter
  compiles the ALTR MCP server into a native binary, giving every one of the 156 MCP tools a terminal command. This is provider-documented,
  but the user builds the binary — it is not distributed on a package registry.'
