An MCP server allows a coding assistant ( Claude/Codex/OpenCode/Copilot/etc ) to connect to external systems and retrieve information in a structured way. See for instance [1], [2]. In the case of Sling this helps tools discover runtime information in a structured way rather than relying on ad-hoc curl calls to the web console and grepping log files. The bundle is only the foundation and we have some sample tools at [3]. As usual, this is open for extension so anyone can deploy the MCP Server bundle and then build their own tools. Time permitting, I would create a documentation article on the website rather than updating the README.md file.
