Base adapter interface for MCP tools.

This module provides the abstract base class that all MCP tool adapters should inherit from.

## BaseAdapter

<div className="text-black">
<div className="text-black font-bold text-xl mb-2 mt-8"><code className="!text-black">class</code> BaseAdapter</div>

Abstract base class for converting MCP tools to other framework formats.

    This class defines the common interface that all adapter implementations
    should follow to ensure consistency across different frameworks.
