feat(api): MCP server endpoint — expose AI tools to external clients

Mount an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server at /api/v1/mcp in the
unified Hono API. External clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and
VS Code Copilot can discover and call all 29 Mana tools via the
standard MCP protocol.

Architecture:
- WebStandardStreamableHTTPServerTransport for Bun/Hono compatibility
- AI_TOOL_CATALOG → MCP tool definitions with JSON Schema (via Zod)
- Stateful sessions with Mcp-Session-Id header
- Auth via existing authMiddleware (JWT or API key)

Phase 1 scope: tools/list returns all 29 tools with schemas,
tools/call acknowledges with descriptive messages. Phase 2 will add
actual DB reads/writes via sync_changes.

Usage:
  Claude Desktop config:
  {"mcpServers": {"mana": {"url": "http://localhost:3060/api/v1/mcp"}}}
