Control Plane MCP Server

Update with /plugin marketplace update controlplane then /reload-plugins (third-party marketplaces don't auto-update unless you enable it in /plugin → Marketplaces). It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.

Teams that work with cloud native, codex and controlplane and want a hosted endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in Shell.
