MCP Server
ProxyWhirl includes an MCP server for AI assistant workflows that need structured proxy operations.

Operational Notes
| Concern | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Authentication | Configure PROXYWHIRL_MCP_API_KEY for authenticated write actions. |
| Local development | PROXYWHIRL_MCP_ALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED_WRITES is a local-dev/test override. |
| Storage | Use PROXYWHIRL_MCP_DB to point the server at the intended database path. |
| Safety | Treat source fetching and write actions as privileged tool calls. |
