Journey fit
Atari Lynx MCP support is a Build-step agent integration for hands-on ROM verification, not a Grow or Operate monitoring product. Canonical placement is agent-tooling: stdio MCP exposes Lynx emulator primitives to LLM-driven dev sessions.
How it compares
Lynx-focused MCP emulator connector, not a journey-wide debugging methodology skill.
