mcp-3D-printer-server (DMontgomery40)MCADConfidence: Medium

An MCP printer server gates resume behind a fresh status check and a human confirmation because resume reheats and moves the printer. OctoPrint, Klipper and Duet allow re-downloading the file and comparing SHA-256, while PrusaLink, Repetier and Creality have no download route, so the job is matched by name only.
