How to use readme-updater-mcp?
To use this server, you need to configure your MCP client (e.g., Cline, Claude Desktop) to recognize it. This involves adding the server's execution path and environment variables to the client's configuration file. Once configured, you can call the update_readme tool with the file path of the README and the content to append. The server will then use Ollama to analyze and update the README.
