  IBM's official MCP collection at https://github.com/IBM/mcp and the per-product
  MCP server repositories under the IBM GitHub org (2026-06-20).
notes: >-
  IBM does not (yet) expose a single hosted remote MCP endpoint for the whole
  platform. Instead it publishes a curated collection of open-source MCP servers,
  one per product surface, plus MCP tooling in watsonx Orchestrate. The IAM
  candidate tool list below is DERIVED from openapi/ibm-cloud-iam.yml as a starting
  point — there is no published IAM MCP server at time of writing.
