## Quick Start

```bash
# Connect this server (installs CLI if needed)
npx -y @smithery/cli@latest mcp add csgaglobal/cobol-bridge

# Browse available tools
npx -y @smithery/cli@latest tool list csgaglobal/cobol-bridge

# Get full schema for a tool
npx -y @smithery/cli@latest tool get csgaglobal/cobol-bridge cobol.transform.records

# Call a tool
npx -y @smithery/cli@latest tool call csgaglobal/cobol-bridge cobol.transform.records '{}'
```
