Agents interacting with the embedded MCP server have been observed reaching for their built-in fetch/HTTP tools rather than curl, which tends to be less reliable for raw JSON-RPC. Steering them toward curl explicitly reduces friction and makes the examples copy-pasteable from the command line as well.
Same motivation as the README change: agents tend to reach for built-in fetch tools when no example is given. Explicit curl snippets steer them toward the more reliable path and keep the commands directly usable from the terminal.

Those paths are less reliable for raw JSON-RPC and harder to reproduce manually.
