thv vmcp init

Generate a starter vMCP configuration file

Synopsis

Discover running workloads in a ToolHive group and generate a starter vMCP YAML configuration file pre-populated with one backend entry per accessible workload.

The generated file can be reviewed and customized, then passed to 'thv vmcp validate --config' to check it and 'thv vmcp serve --config' to start the aggregated server.

If neither --output nor --config is provided, the generated YAML is written to stdout.
