Tech Debt Register MCP tool

MCP findutils:tech_debt_register

Analyze a technical debt register and return the stakeholder numbers: active vs resolved counts, total hours to fix, weekly "interest" cost in hours, payoff weeks at a given weekly budget, breakeven weeks, counts by category and severity, the top-5 highest-interest items, a severity/effort matrix (quick wins, strategic, low priority, time sink), and an executive-summary paragraph. Each item has a category (code, architecture, testing, documentation, security, performance), a severity 1-5, effort_to_fix in hours, interest_rate in hours lost per week, and a status (active, resolved, wont_fix).
