Subject: [PATCH] Missing mandatory parameter in the Inspector's CLI command

Attempts to execute this command will fail: npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector --cli http://127.0.0.1:8000 --transport http. The error indicates that --method is a mandatory parameter: "Method is required. Use --method to specify the method to invoke. Failed with exit code: 1". That's why the right command may look like this: npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector --cli http://127.0.0.1:8000 --transport http --method tools/list.
