chore: remove legacy local MCP server code - #58

Conversation
The local STDIO server is shutting down on September 30, 2026 in favor of the hosted server at https://mcp.alchemy.com/mcp. Remove the source, build tooling, tests, and CI/publish workflows so the repo only points people to the hosted server. Keep server.json (MCP Registry metadata for the hosted server) and LICENSE. Rewrite the README around hosted setup plus a short migration note for existing npx users. Refs DX-3944 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Removes the legacy local STDIO MCP server from this repo ahead of the September 30, 2026 shutdown, and turns the README into a pointer to the hosted server at
https://mcp.alchemy.com/mcp.Resolves DX-3944. Context: Slack thread.
What's left in the repo
README.md: shutdown notice, hosted server setup for each client, and a short migration note for people runningnpx @alchemy/mcp-serverserver.json: the MCP Registry entry for the hosted server (io.github.alchemyplatform/alchemy-mcp-server). This is the only copy in the org, so it stays.LICENSEEverything else is deleted (30 files): source, tests, build/lint config, changesets, husky,
CLAUDE.md, and both GitHub workflows. Removingpublish.ymlmeans merging this can't trigger an npm publish.Not rewriting history
This is a normal commit, not a force-push. A history rewrite wouldn't remove the code: it's still in 32 forks, the tags/releases, and every published npm version. It would also break commit links and the audit trail for the open security report (#50). The repo's
mainruleset blocks non-fast-forward pushes anyway.Follow-ups (not in this PR)
