Dayuan Jiang 439bdd4577 feat: add MCP server package for npx distribution (#284)
* feat: add MCP server package for npx distribution

- Self-contained MCP server with embedded HTTP server
- Real-time browser preview via draw.io iframe
- Tools: start_session, display_diagram, edit_diagram, get_diagram, export_diagram
- Port retry limit (6002-6020) and session TTL cleanup (1 hour)
- Published as @next-ai-drawio/mcp-server on npm

* chore: bump version to 0.1.2

* docs: add MCP server section to README (preview feature)

* docs: add multi-client installation instructions for MCP server

* fix: exclude packages from Next.js build

* docs: use @latest instead of -y flag for npx (match Playwright MCP style)

* chore: bump version to 0.4.3 and add release notes

* chore: remove release notes

* feat: add MCP server notice to example panel

/**
* MCP Server for Next AI Draw.io
*
* Enables AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) to generate and edit
* draw.io diagrams with real-time browser preview.

text: `# Draw.io Diagram Workflow Guidelines
## Creating a New Diagram
1. Call start_session to open the browser preview
2. Use display_diagram with complete mxGraphModel XML to create a new diagram
## Adding Elements to Existing Diagram
1. Use edit_diagram with "add" operation
2. Provide a unique cell_id and complete mxCell XML
3. No need to call get_diagram first - the server fetches latest state automatically
## Modifying or Deleting Existing Elements
1. FIRST call get_diagram to see current cell IDs and structure
2. THEN call edit_diagram with "update" or "delete" operations
3. For update, provide the cell_id and complete new mxCell XML
## Important Notes
- display_diagram REPLACES the entire diagram - only use for new diagrams
- edit_diagram PRESERVES user's manual changes (fetches browser state first)
- Always use unique cell_ids when adding elements (e.g., "shape-1", "arrow-2")`,
