"""
MCP Server for task management operations (Phase III).
This module implements a proper MCP server using the FastMCP SDK.
The server exposes task operations as MCP tools that can be called by AI agents.
All operations are performed via HTTP calls to the backend API, not direct database access.
MCP Tools provided:
- add_task: Create a new task for a user
- list_tasks: Retrieve tasks with optional filtering
- complete_task: Mark a task as complete
- delete_task: Remove a task from the database
- update_task: Modify task title or description
- set_priority: Update task priority level
- list_tasks_by_priority: Filter tasks by priority
Architecture:
- MCP Server runs as a separate process (not inside agent)
- Agent connects via MCPServerStdio transport
- Tools use @mcp.tool() decorator (not @function_tool)
- All operations use HTTP API calls to backend, not direct database access
