Provides a standardized interface to interact with Frappe REST API endpoints.

The Frappe API tool acts as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, simplifying interaction with Frappe and ERPNext sites. It encapsulates the Frappe REST API into a single, accessible tool named `frappe_api`, allowing developers and agents to perform standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE) against Frappe endpoints with configurable inputs for path, query, body, and headers, including token-based authentication.
