Pull request overview
Updates the @primer/mcp server’s pattern catalogue to match the scenario patterns now published on primer.style, and reduces duplication in tool metadata so the catalogue is less likely to drift.
Changes:
- Add Create, Customize, Delegate, Edit, and View to the MCP scenario patterns catalogue used by
list_patterns/get_pattern. - Add coverage to ensure the new scenario patterns are listed and that
get_patternfetches the correct published URLs. - Simplify
list_patterns/get_patterntool descriptions to avoid embedding a hardcoded example list.

This brings the MCP pattern catalogue back in line with primer.style. The catalogue is manually maintained and had fallen behind the docs that have now been published as part of https://github.com/github/core-ux/issues/2845.
It adds Create, Customize, Delegate, Edit and View to
list_patternsandget_pattern. I’ve also removed the duplicated pattern list from the tool descriptions, so there’s one less place for the catalogue to drift.Closes github/core-ux#3479
