Description: Implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Users can
        start 'R'-based servers, serving functions as tools for large
        language models to call before responding to the user in
        MCP-compatible apps like 'Claude Desktop' and 'Claude Code',
        with options to run those tools inside of interactive 'R'
        sessions. On the other end, when 'R' is the client via the
        'ellmer' package, users can register tools from third-party MCP
        servers to integrate additional context into chats.
