# Task: Plan implementation of FEAT-SKEL-001 basic FastMCP server with ping tool

## Description

Review and plan the implementation of the foundational MCP server using FastMCP with a health check (ping) tool. This establishes the walking skeleton that all subsequent features build upon.

## Context

- Feature spec: docs/features/FEAT-SKEL-001-basic-mcp-server.md
- Complexity: 2/10 (Simple)
- No external dependencies beyond `mcp` package
- First feature in the project - establishes foundation

## Review Scope

- Technical approach analysis
- Implementation breakdown into subtasks
- Dependency and risk assessment
- Testing strategy validation

## Acceptance Criteria

- [x] Technical options analyzed (3 options evaluated)
- [x] Implementation approach recommended (Option 1: Official MCP SDK)
- [x] Subtask breakdown created (4 tasks in tasks/backlog/basic-mcp-server/)
- [x] Risk assessment completed (Low risk)
