  Captures API Evangelist annotations over the harvested Plex Media Server OpenAPI.
  The original document is never mutated. The upstream contract is served only as
  the Redoc SSR state embedded in https://developer.plex.tv/pms/; Plex publishes no
  raw spec file at a stable URL, which is the single most valuable thing it could
  change for machine consumers.

    x-apievangelist-server-note: The single servers[] entry is a template whose host
      encodes the server's IP address and machineIdentifier under Plex's wildcard
      TLS domain plex.direct. There is no shared multi-tenant production host.

  update:
    x-apievangelist-gaps:
    - No raw OpenAPI file is served at a stable, linkable URL.
    - Error responses declare text/html or no content; there is no problem+json
      envelope and no machine-readable error code.
    - No idempotency contract is documented for the write operations.
    - No rate-limit headers or published quota are documented.
    - Webhooks are documented in the support knowledge base only, with no AsyncAPI.
    - The first-party MCP server publishes no tool list, so its capabilities are
      undiscoverable without an authenticated session.
