Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the CLI parser, MCP tool invocation flow, and tab-completion implementation, then compare existing syntax with the referenced VSCode behavior. Done should include an unambiguous #mcp-server:tool arg1 arg2 form with completion and tests for invocation.
