Context

The punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers list (82.7K stars) only accepts local MCP servers (stdio/SSE transport). Iteration Layer currently only offers a remote MCP server (streamable-http). This blocks us from the highest-visibility awesome list in the MCP ecosystem.

Task

Investigate building a local MCP server wrapper that:

1. Runs locally via stdio transport (compatible with Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.)
2. Proxies requests to our remote API
3. Handles authentication (API key stored locally)
4. Ships as an npm/pip installable package

Acceptance Criteria

• Research how other remote APIs ship local MCP servers (e.g., Stripe MCP, GitHub MCP)
• Decide on transport: stdio vs SSE
• Prototype a minimal local MCP server that wraps one API endpoint
• Determine packaging (npm, pip, both)
• Submit PR to punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers once published

Why

This unblocks the single highest-reach directory listing (82.7K stars) and makes Iteration Layer compatible with the growing local-first MCP tooling ecosystem.
