🤖 Filed by Claude Code on Kai's behalf.

Inspiration: openai/openai-mcpkit (Auth0 + OIDC MCP blueprint) and anthropics/anthropic-tools.

Joins against: gauntlet/ (Python MCP server, hypothesis tests, mypy strict, audit-log shape), eco-mcp-app/ (alternate Python MCP App reference).

OpenAI's mcpkit and Anthropic's tools repo both ship as "here's how to start." Gauntlet has the production-shape pieces neither does: argv discipline borrowed from coily, hypothesis-tested MCP tool implementations, and a run-buffer pattern that survives crashes. Extract the scaffolding into coilysiren/mcp-template: a starter for Python MCP servers that bakes in lockdown-style argv validation and JSON-twin discoverability. Costs little since the code already exists, gives Kai a third public MCP artifact next to gauntlet and eco-mcp-app.

Iceboxed in the 2026-05-29 backlog burn-down: Speculative future scaffolding extraction, no dependency. Reopen anytime if it becomes real.
