    note: 'A THIRD MCP surface, found by enumerating the GitHub org and absent from docs.thehog.ai entirely.
      The CLI README distinguishes it explicitly: "The hosted/public MCP remains The-Hog/the-hog-mcp.
      Use this generated MCP when you want the local companion that ships with the CLI." It exposes the
      generated CLI surface (including the LinkedIn scrapers the curated MCP omits), not the curated workflow
      tools.'
