feat: add MCP server + shared auth module (#7, #1)

- New: mcp_server.py — FastMCP stdio server exposing 7 tools:
  gitea_create_issue, gitea_create_pr, gitea_close_issue,
  gitea_list_issues, gitea_view_issue, gitea_mark_issue,
  gitea_mirror_refs
- New: auth.py — shared authentication and API helpers
  (get_credentials, get_auth_header, api_request, repo_api_url)
- Refactored: create_pr.py, create_issue.py, manage_labels.py
  to use shared auth module (eliminates credential duplication)
- New: tests/test_mcp_server.py — 17 tests for all MCP tools
- Updated: tests/test_credentials.py — now tests auth.py directly
- Updated: tests/test_create_issue.py — adapted for refactored imports
- New: requirements.txt — frozen venv deps (mcp[cli], pytest)
- Updated: README.md — MCP server as primary interface
- Config: added gitea-tools to mcp_config.json

Closes #1. Resolves #2, #5. Relates to #7.

-## Available Scripts
+## MCP Server (Recommended)
+
+The Gitea-Tools MCP server exposes all functionality as structured tool calls.
+Any MCP-compatible agent (Antigravity, Claude Code, etc.) can call these tools natively.
+
+### Available Tools
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `gitea_create_issue` | Create an issue with title, body, remote |
+| `gitea_create_pr` | Open a pull request with title, head, base |
+| `gitea_close_issue` | Close an issue by number |
+| `gitea_list_issues` | List issues with state/label filters |
+| `gitea_view_issue` | Get full details of a single issue |
+| `gitea_mark_issue` | Claim/release an issue (start/done) |
+| `gitea_mirror_refs` | Mirror branches + tags between instances |
+
+### Setup
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+cd /Users/jasonwalker/Development/Gitea-Tools
+source venv/bin/activate
+pip install "mcp[cli]"
+```
+
+The server is configured in `mcp_config.json` and runs automatically when Antigravity starts.
+Restart Antigravity to load the server after first setup.
+
+## CLI Scripts
+
+The MCP tools can also be used as standalone CLI scripts:

-## Mirror Refs
+## Architecture
 
-`mirror_refs.sh` keeps branches and tags in sync between dadeschools and prgs:
-
-- **Additive only** — never deletes branches or tags
-- **Dry-run by default** — pass `--apply` to actually push
-- **Divergence protection** — shared branches that have diverged are skipped with a warning; pass `--force` to override
-- Uses a bare repo cache in `/tmp/gitea-mirror-Timesheet` for isolation
-- Won't auto-close or merge anything — just ref mirroring
+```
+auth.py          ← shared auth & API helpers (get_credentials, api_request)
+mcp_server.py    ← MCP server (FastMCP, stdio transport)
