Embedded Runtime MCP Server for Apache Camel

Context

AI agents debugging Camel routes have no MCP-based way to inspect live route stats, trace exchanges, check health, or interact with the debugger. Camel has rich runtime observability via the DevConsole SPI (~47 consoles) and a BacklogDebugger, but these are only accessible via the dev console HTTP API or JBang CLI file-based protocol.

This plan introduces a new camel-mcp-server module that embeds an MCP server directly inside a running Camel application using the official MCP Java SDK. Tools call DevConsoleRegistry and BacklogDebugger directly — no file I/O, no polling, no latency. The module supports pluggable transports: STDIO, Unix domain sockets, and TCP sockets.

This complements (not replaces) the existing camel-jbang-mcp catalog server, which remains the standalone tool for catalog lookups, migration guides, and OpenAPI tooling.

Plan: Migrate commands to a single background skill

Context

The project currently ships 25 markdown files in commands/ that are installed as individual /oss-* commands for various AI agents. Claude Code has evolved: commands are now merged into skills, and skills are recommended going forward. Skills support auto-invocation, supporting files, and frontmatter control.

The goal is to replace the 25 individual commands with one background skill (user-invocable: false) that Claude auto-loads when the user's request is relevant (e.g., "review PR #42", "fix issue CAMEL-123"). No explicit / invocation needed.
