---

Minimal MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows LLMs and other MCP clients to execute Python and C++ code directly using PyROOT, without HTTP endpoints or external APIs.

## Features

- **Direct Python execution**: Run Python code with PyROOT available automatically
- **Direct C++ execution**: Run C++ code via ROOT's cling interpreter
- **In-process**: All code runs in the same process (no subprocess isolation)
- **Error detection**: Automatic detection of C++ compilation errors via return codes and stderr
- **Console logging**: Pretty-printed code execution with results in MCP console
- **Graphics support**: TCanvas and ROOT graphics objects with event loop support

Description:

- **MCP Client (VS Code / CLI / Programmatic)**: connects to the MCP server and sends execution requests. Clients can be interactive (e.g. VS Code + Copilot Chat) or scripted CLI clients.
- **FastMCP Server**: receives MCP tool calls (`root_python`, `root_cpp`) and dispatches them to the in-process executor.
- **RootExecutor (in-process PyROOT)**: runs Python or C++ code with the ROOT runtime, manages graphics mode, and can expose an embedded HTTP server (THttpServer) for interactive canvases.
- **ROOT Web Canvas (THttpServer / JSROOT)**: when graphic…
