+Promote MCP-authoring utilities to the public API so inspectors and tooling no longer need internal access.
+
+- `McpServer.introspect()`: a public introspection surface returning the registered tool / resource / prompt classes (constructors, not instances) without starting a session. The supported alternative to the internal `_tools()` / `_resources()` / `_prompts()` accessors, which stay `@internal`.
+- `zodToJsonSchema(schema)`: convert a Zod schema to the JSON Schema MCP advertises (exported from the package entry).
+- `matchUriTemplate(template, uri)`: match a URI against a `resource://{template}` pattern and extract params.
+- New `McpServerIntrospection` and `ZodLikeObject` types exported alongside.
+
+This lets a thin framework binding (e.g. `@rudderjs/mcp`) build a server inspector against the published surface instead of re-declaring internal shapes or carrying local copies of the helpers.
