feat(providers): add mcp category for provider profiles #2546
Description
Problem Statement
Provider profiles use a category field to classify services. Current valid values: inference, source_control, agent, other, data, messaging, knowledge. There is no mcp category for MCP tool server profiles.
As MCP tool servers become a common integration pattern for agents, MCP-specific profiles need a dedicated category so developers can filter and discover them via openshell provider list-profiles.
Proposed Design
Add mcp to the valid category values in crates/openshell-providers/src/profiles.rs.
This is a one-line addition to the category enum. No schema changes, no behavioral changes.
Agent Investigation
- Category enum parsed in
crates/openshell-providers/src/profiles.rs:825— unknown categories produce"unsupported provider profile category"error McpOptionsProfilestruct exists but isn't used in any built-in profile YAML- MCP L7 protocol (
L7Protocol::Mcp) already recognized by the supervisor relay
Checklist
- Searched for existing issues — no issue tracks adding an
mcpcategory - Minimal scope — one enum value addition
