Usage
npx @selfagency/beans-mcp /path/to/workspaceVersioning
@selfagency/beans-mcp has its own package versioning. Compatibility with the Beans CLI is tracked separately.
At startup, the server compares the installed beans CLI version against the hardcoded supported Beans version: 0.4.2. If they differ, it prints a warning to stderr and continues startup.

- --cli-path: Path to Beans CLI

- --log-dir: Log directory
