 **MCP server:** The `airtable-user-mcp` workspace package (at `packages/mcp-server/`) is resolved via `workspace:*` and bundled into `packages/extension/dist/mcp/` by `scripts/bundle-mcp.mjs` during the build step. Native browser-automation deps (`patchright`, `patchright-core`, `otpauth`) are vendored into `dist/node_modules/` by `scripts/prepare-package-deps.mjs` before `vsce package` runs.
