      "Excerpt": "## Background\n\nDeploy-on-release already works: `release-please.yml` has a `deploy` job gated on `release_created == 'true'` that runs `flyctl deploy` and verifies the MCP protocol. It deployed v0.3.3 successfully. Two problems remain.\n\n### 1. Duplicated deploy logic\n\nThe `flyctl deploy` step and the ~40-line MCP verification script are copy-pasted verbatim into two files:\n\n- `.github/workflows/deploy.yml` (manual, `workflow_dispatch`)\n- `.github/workflows/release-please.yml` (the `deploy` job)\n",

Elixir Toolbox is a curated discovery layer over hex.pm: a human-maintained taxonomy (groups -> categories -> hand-picked projects), plus trending and search. The API is free, requires no auth, and has CORS enabled. OpenAPI spec: `https://elixir-toolbox.dev/api/openapi`.\n\n## Motivation\n\nThe existing tools answer \"tell me about *this* package\" (`search`, `in",
