### Description (declared)

# MCP Unified

MCP Unified is the standalone package boundary for the Model Context Protocol
runtime and gateway being extracted from `tldw-server`.

The package status is `public-alpha`, and the publishing status is `published`.
Released versions are published on PyPI; repository versions remain release
candidates until their protected publish succeeds. The package is built and
tested inside the `tldw-server` repository; the
former internal/experimental phase remains relevant only to earlier releases.

This package does not currently ship an end-user standalone gateway server
launcher. `mcp-unified-gateway` commands manage local configuration or talk to
an already mounted remote gateway supplied by a host application.

## What Is Included

- JSON-RPC gateway runtime primitives for HTTP, WebSocket, and stdio entrypoints.
- Profile presets, profile resolution, and policy result models.
- Claude-style profile permission rule parsing for tool, command, path, domain,
  external MCP, skill, and agent subjects.
- Role presets with compact tooling discovery metadata and progressive
  disclosure categories for suggested next-step tools.
- Gateway-local profile, assignment, external-server, credential-grant, and
  audit storage interfaces.
- Optional SQLite-backed stores for standalone gateway configuration.
- External MCP server registry, runtime lifecycle, process policy, and transport
  helpers.
- Metadata-only tool-use reporting for aggregate profile, model, tool, and
  prompt-version analysis.
- Configurable package-level tool-call hook manager primitives for embedders
  that need ordered pre/post policy, approval, or audit hooks.
- Package-local filesystem advisory lock backends for coordinating
  read-before-mutate workflows. The memory backend is the default.
  An optional SQLite backend can coordinate cooperating processes that point at
  the same local database file.
- Package CLIs: `mcp-unified-gateway` for local config management and remote
  gateway runtime ope…
