Fix MCP extra args rejection and bank ID resolution priority (#351)
* Fix MCP extra args rejection and bank ID resolution priority

Two fixes to the MCP middleware:

1. Strip unknown tool arguments: LLMs frequently add extra fields
   like "explanation" to tool calls. FastMCP's Pydantic TypeAdapter
   rejects these with "Unexpected keyword argument". The middleware
   now intercepts tools/call requests and removes unknown fields
   before they reach validation.

2. Bank ID resolution priority: Path now takes priority over header.
   Previously X-Bank-Id header was checked first, meaning /mcp/my-bank/
   with X-Bank-Id: other-bank would silently use other-bank in multi-bank
   mode. Now the URL path is authoritative — single-bank mode connections
   cannot be overridden by headers.

* docs: update MCP server docs with mental model tools and fixes

- Add all mental model tools (create, list, get, update, delete, refresh)
- Add list_banks and create_bank tool docs
- Document single-bank vs multi-bank modes
- Fix bank selection priority: path > header > default
- Add Accept header to curl example
- Add timestamp param to retain, max_tokens to recall

"""ASGI middleware that intercepts MCP requests and routes to appropriate MCP server.
This middleware wraps the main FastAPI app and intercepts requests matching the
configured prefix (default: /mcp). Non-MCP requests pass through to the inner app.
Authentication:
1. If HINDSIGHT_API_MCP_AUTH_TOKEN is set (legacy), validates against that token
2. Otherwise, uses TenantExtension.authenticate_mcp() from the MemoryEngine
- DefaultTenantExtension: no auth required (local dev)
- ApiKeyTenantExtension: validates against env var
Two modes based on URL structure:
1. Multi-bank mode (for /mcp/ root endpoint):
- Exposes all tools: retain, recall, reflect, list_banks, create_bank
- All tools include optional bank_id parameter for cross-bank operations
- Bank ID from: X-Bank-Id header or HINDSIGHT_MCP_BANK_ID env var
2. Single-bank mode (for /mcp/{bank_id}/ endpoints):
- Exposes bank-scoped tools only: retain, recall, reflect
- No bank_id parameter (comes from URL)
- No bank management tools (list_banks, create_bank)
- Recommended for agent isolation
Bank ID resolution priority:
1. URL path (e.g., /mcp/{bank_id}/) → single-bank mode
2. X-Bank-Id header → multi-bank mode
3. HINDSIGHT_MCP_BANK_ID env var → multi-bank mode (default: "default")
Examples:
# Single-bank mode (recommended for agent isolation)
claude mcp add --transport http my-agent http://localhost:8888/mcp/my-agent-bank/ \\
--header "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
# Multi-bank mode (for cross-bank operations)
claude mcp add --transport http hindsight http://localhost:8888/mcp \\
--header "X-Bank-Id: my-bank" --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
