The
mcp servecommand provided an MCP server that exposed gh-aw CLI functionality as MCP tools. This functionality is now available through the existing CLI commands:mcp list- List MCP servers configured in workflowsmcp inspect- Inspect MCP servers and their capabilitiesmcp add- Add MCP tools to workflows from the registryAll existing MCP functionality for workflow management remains intact and fully functional. The removal eliminates code duplication while preserving the core MCP capabilities users need.
