Fixes issue where README suggested running MCP server via path (python core/mcp_server.py), which fails due to package-relative imports when executed as a script. Update README to recommend the module form: python -m core.mcp_server.

Additionally, add small import stubs in core/surf.py for prompt_toolkit so tests can import modules without requiring prompt_toolkit to be installed in the test environment. These are lightweight fallbacks used only when prompt_toolkit is not available.

Why this change:

  • The MCP server uses relative imports and must be run as a module (python -m core.mcp_server). The README previously instructed running the file directly which caused ImportError.
  • The prompt_toolkit stubs keep test environment simple and avoid installing optional interactive deps during CI/test runs.

I ran the test suite: 11 passed.
