feat: improve mcp tools based on endpoint (#318)
* feat: improve mcp tools based on endpoint

* feat: improve mcp tools based on endpoint

* test: add integration test for MCP endpoint routing

- Add test_mcp_endpoint_routing.py to verify single-bank vs multi-bank tool exposure
- Verifies /mcp/ exposes all tools with bank_id parameters
- Verifies /mcp/{bank_id}/ only exposes scoped tools without bank_id parameters
- Regression test for issue #317

Related: #317, #318

* test: use StreamableHTTP client for MCP endpoint routing test

Replace httpx AsyncClient SSE parsing with proper MCP StreamableHTTP
client. This correctly tests the MCP server using the actual protocol
that clients will use.

Fixes #317

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
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)
