## What problems does it solve?

- ('For legacy reference', 'when you need to check early MCP server implementations', 'archived early code')
- ('For history review', 'when you need to track changes in the MCP ecosystem', 'early version preservation')
## Key features

Preserves early implementations as-is

- **Use case**: historical reference
- **Result**: not the current version
- **Limitations**: no maintenance
## Installation and usage

### git clone
