docs: rewrite READMEs for archival posture#363
Merged
Conversation
The local MCP server is no longer the supported path for MCP usage now that Glean provides a managed remote MCP server. Replace active install and configuration guidance with archive status, migration links, and historical context so new users are directed toward the managed MCP server or Glean CLI instead.

BLUF: Rewrite README docs to direct users away from the local MCP server.
This repo is being archived because it predates Glean’s managed remote MCP server. The updated docs remove active install/configuration guidance and point users to the managed MCP server docs or Glean CLI instead.
Description
Rewrites the top-level README,
@gleanwork/local-mcp-serverREADME, and@gleanwork/mcp-server-utilsREADME around the archival posture.Related Issue
N/A — archival cleanup from the repository deprecation plan.
Motivation and Context
The old READMEs still presented the local MCP server as usable for experimental/testing workflows and included setup, Docker, and client configuration instructions. That creates the wrong expectation now that the supported path is the managed Glean MCP server.

How Has This Been Tested?

Additional Notes
The utils README now mirrors the same archival/deprecated posture as the other READMEs. This PR only updates repository documentation; npm package deprecation for
@gleanwork/mcp-server-utilsis intentionally handled separately after follow-up dependency cleanup.
