The eic-mcp launcher and every MCP server now come from eic-spack recipes and land in /opt/local/bin via the environment view (supersedes #328: no bundled script, no runtime clone/build). - xl/spack.yaml: add eic-mcp, rucio-eic-mcp-server, supergateway, uproot-mcp-server (xrootd-/zenodo-mcp-server were already in) - packages.yaml: version requires for the servers and bridge; py-mcp +cli
For headless LLM-client use inside eic-shell (farm nodes, CI reproducers). Installed from the per-platform GitHub release binary.
Points at aprozo/eic-spack feat/mcp-servers (develop@dd8a73e + the new recipes). Revert to eic/eic-spack at the merge SHA before undrafting.
py-typer (newest builtin: 0.23.2) pins py-click@:8.1.8, which cannot unify with the environment's click 8.3+ (flask via pyrobird). The MCP servers only need mcp core, so the eic-spack recipes default the cli variant off.
The previous pin predated py-mcp defaulting ~cli, so the typer/click conflict was still in the DAG. Also picks up the py-pyjwt import-test path fix, and drops the fork indirection now that the branch lives on eic/eic-spack.

Supersedes #328 (per review there: no bundled script, no runtime clone/build — everything installed properly via packages) and replaces #356 (same change from a fork, where CI has no secrets).
