Conversation
Adds mcp-scope, a passive MCP traffic capture and schema-diff tool, to the Resources section. Fits the existing pattern of community tooling (mcp-cli, mcp-guardian, MCPWatch).

Description
Adds mcp-scope to the Resources section. mcp-scope is a passive proxy that sits transparently between any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, custom scripts) and any MCP server,
captures every JSON-RPC frame to a file, and lets you inspect, summarise, and diff the capture offline. Unlike interactive debuggers, it captures real traffic from real clients
without driving the calls.
Motivation and Context
The Resources section already lists tools that help MCP server developers debug, validate, and manage their servers (
mcp-cli,mcp-guardian,MCPWatch,MCP Servers Search,etc.). mcp-scope fills a specific gap none of them cover: a passive on-the-wire capture/diff tool useful for:

Checklist
MCP RouterandMCP Servers Hub(Other checklist items — LLM client testing, env vars, tests, security best practices — do not apply: this PR adds a single line to the README.)
Additional context
Happy to adjust wording, section placement, or remove the entry if a different fit is preferred. If a separate "Tools" or "Debugging Utilities" subsection would be more appropriate
than the general Resources list, I'm glad to make that structural change as well.
