description: Archera operates and hosts a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects an
  AI assistant to a user's Archera account — cloud commitments, cost data, and optimization recommendations.
  Streamable HTTP transport, OAuth Authorization Code with PKCE, and Dynamic Client Registration (clients
  register themselves during setup). The published documentation describes tool capability groups rather
  than individual tool names, so tools below are the documented capability areas, marked as categories.
