Adds POST /mcp implementing the Model Context Protocol (JSON-RPC 2.0, non-streaming HTTP) so AI coding agents can query a self-hosted DevDocs instance directly instead of scraping the browser UI. Three tools, all reading from the same public/docs tree the server already uses to serve doc content: - devdocs_list_docsets — the configured doc sets (from settings.docs) - devdocs_search — entries in one doc set matching a query (index.json) - devdocs_get_page — one entry's content as plain text, HTML stripped with Nokogiri (already a dependency) (db.json) Relates to freeCodeCamp#2420.

In keeping competitive with other API Doc services (like Dash), let's add MCP support so agents can interact with our Docs as well.
