+- **npm package `@agentailor/mcp`** (live) — `npx -y @agentailor/mcp` runs the stdio server, so any MCP client can launch it (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code/Copilot, Codex, and others — the README has per-client config). The `bin` maps to `dist/index.stdio.js`, which carries a `#!/usr/bin/env node` shebang.
 - **Hosted HTTP** (planned, not live yet — presented as "coming soon" in the README) — the HTTP transport runs on a native Node host: build `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile && pnpm build`, start `pnpm start:http`. `GITHUB_TOKEN` is set as a secret; `PORT` is injected by the host; health check is `/health`. Node 20 pinned via `engines` + `.node-version`. Self-hosters can run this today; the _Agentailor-hosted_ endpoint is not yet published.
 
 Clone-and-run is a secondary/contributor path. The `Dockerfile` is for local stdio and self-hosting anywhere.

 ### Hosted HTTP (coming soon)
 
 A zero-install, Agentailor-hosted HTTP endpoint is planned — point any streamable-HTTP MCP client at a single URL, nothing to install or run. It isn't live yet; for now use the npx setup above. The endpoint URL will be published on [agentailor.com](https://agentailor.com) when it's ready.
