It consists of the following Rust-based components, which communicate through internal shared objects.
 
 - A web server built on `axum` that a Studio plugin long polls.
 - A `rmcp` server that talks to Claude via `stdio` transport.
 
-When LLM requests to run a tool, the plugin will get a request through the long polling and post a
-response. It will cause responses to be sent to the Claude app.
