## MCP Server Cards
An **MCP Server Card** is a JSON document that describes a single MCP server — its
identity, capabilities, and connection details. Server Cards use the media type
identity and connection details. Server Cards use the media type
`application/mcp-server-card+json`.
Server Cards do not enumerate primitives (tools, resources, prompts); those remain
subject to runtime listing via the protocol's standard list operations.
A Server Card includes:
- **`name`** — A unique identifier for the server in reverse DNS format (e.g., `com.example/weather`)
- **Connection details** — Transport type and endpoint URL
- **Capabilities** — Tools, resources, and prompts the server offers
- **Metadata** — Human-readable name, description, and version
