**Issue title:** Add MCP Server: Merlin Energy — BESS Quoting & Sales Intelligence

---

## Server Name
Merlin Energy MCP — BESS Quoting & Sales Intelligence

## GitHub Repository
https://github.com/ugobe007/merlin-mcp-agent

## npm Package
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@merlinpro/mcp-agent

## Short Description (≤ 160 chars)
AI-powered BESS quoting & energy sales agent. Generate TrueQuote™ estimates, qualify leads, compare competitors, produce proposals — in seconds.

## Full Description
The Merlin Energy MCP server gives any AI assistant the ability to act as a trained commercial energy storage (BESS) sales agent. Using Anthropic's Model Context Protocol, Claude or any MCP-compatible client can instantly:

- **Generate TrueQuote™ estimates** — 47-variable BESS sizing algorithm using peak demand, industry vertical, ZIP code, and use-case to produce MW/MWh sizing, total installed cost, annual savings, payback period, NPV, IRR, and CO₂ offset.
- **Qualify leads** — Score inbound inquiries 0–100 across 18 industry verticals, output hot/warm/nurture tiers with next-step recommendations.
- **Battle-card competitor comparisons** — Real-time head-to-head vs. Homer Energy, EnerNOC, and manual Excel workflows.
- **Generate proposals** — Executive summary, detailed technical/financial proposal, or one-pager format — ready to send.
- **Retrieve NREL/EIA benchmarks** — Live industry-grade benchmarks: BESS cost curves, utility rates, ROI by sector, solar LCOE, market size.
- **Handle objections** — 5 scripted, data-backed objection handlers for the most common sales blockers.

**Why this matters:** Merlin's TrueQuote™ is the only 47-variable BESS quoting algorithm available as an MCP tool. Manual BESS quotes take 90+ hours (Excel) or $3K–$15K/year (Homer Energy). Merlin generates accurate quotes in seconds — directly inside Claude.
