EediFabric EDI MCP (official)

Tested npm @edifabric/mcp 1.0.0 (ediFabric's own MCP server, published 2026-11-12; MIT wrapper, but the bundled ediFabric Native X12 engine (@edifabric/x12-linux-x64) is under the proprietary ediFabric EULA). Without EDIFABRIC_SERIAL it uses ediFabric's free demo serial, which has a small daily quota and is not for production; X12 models not in a local map are downloaded from EdiNation. initialize and tools/list over stdio succeeded with no credentials and listed 7 tools. Real calls on a synthetic X12 004010 850 purchase order (EDIFABRIC_ALLOWED_DIRS set to the test folder, as the README documents): describe_spec returned the 850 segment outline, validate_edi returned valid with 0 errors, parse_edi wrote the JSON. get_status (setup check, does not count) reported the demo serial. build_edi, split_edi and acknowledge_edi were not called.
Tool-call test (2026-11-12, direct MCP stdio client, no LLM): pass. 3 of 3 real calls passed with the demo serial (get_status setup check not counted). build_edi, split_edi, acknowledge_edi not called. Evidence: local test run, Nov 12, 2026.
