  note: Clerk.io serves a remote MCP endpoint on its own documentation host, docs.clerk.io. A plain GET
    returns the plaintext body "This URL can only be accessed with a MCP client." A JSON-RPC POST of either
    `initialize` or `tools/list` returns HTTP 401 with {"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32001,"message":"Authorization
    required"},"id":null}, so the live tool list and its inputSchemas could not be enumerated anonymously.
    The endpoint is provisioned by ReadMe, Clerk.io's documentation platform, and is scoped to the documentation
    corpus - it is not a Model Context Protocol wrapper over the api.clerk.io REST surface. No /.well-known/
    oauth-protected-resource or /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server document is served on docs.clerk.io,
    so the authorization scheme is undiscoverable without credentials.
tools: []
tools_note: NOT ENUMERATED. tools/list is auth-gated (HTTP 401). No tool list is published in llms.txt
  either, so there is nothing to record. No candidate tools are derived here - deriving them would misrepresent
  an auth-gated documentation MCP as an API-operations MCP.
