## Its own help

This is the help text in the tool itself, as `./gameframe tool mcp-provider` prints it.

```text

Usage: scripts/mcp-provider.sh PROVIDER PINNED_VERSION
Input: provider id and version from tools/gameframe/mcp_providers.json; local overrides from
       the project's ignored .env, loaded by scripts/lib.sh.

It does not install providers, change emulator builds, or proxy provider tools through GameFrame.
