AAngular CLI MCP (official)

Tested npm @angular/cli 22.2.6 (MIT; repo angular/angular-cli) through its `ng mcp` subcommand over stdio: 9 tools, no key. Real calls: get_best_practices returned the Angular best-practices guide and search_documentation returned angular.dev results for 'signal inputs'. ai_tutor (loads tutor instructions) is counted as a self-check. Workspace tools (list_projects, run_target, devserver_*) need an Angular workspace and were not called; run_target and devserver_start run commands. We set NG_CLI_ANALYTICS=false.
Tool-call test (2026-11-11, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): pass. 2 of 2 function calls passed (plus 1 self-check). Workspace and dev-server tools not called. Evidence: local test run, Nov 11, 2026.
