notes: Anthropic authors and stewards the open Model Context Protocol (modelcontextprotocol.io)
  and Claude consumes remote MCP servers, but Anthropic does not publish an official
  hosted MCP server that fronts its own REST API. The tools below are a candidate set
  derived one-per-operation from the OpenAPI specs, illustrating how the Claude API
  could be exposed over MCP. Managed Agents can also attach arbitrary MCP servers as
  tools.
