Adds MCP protocol `2026-07-28` over HTTP through the official Go SDK, and validates the `Origin` header on every request as the spec requires.
Tool and Gitea failures now come back as an ordinary `tools/call` result carrying `result.isError: true`, the way the SDK's own tool wrapper reports them. Malformed requests, unknown tools or methods, and server faults stay JSON-RPC errors.
Adds `-b, --bind` to narrow the listen address. The default still accepts every interface, so this is opt-in hardening. It matters because a request that omits `Authorization` falls back to the server's own token.
**Breaking: the HTTP endpoint no longer keeps a session per client.** What changes for a client:
1. `/mcp` accepts `POST` only, and answers `405` to `GET` or `DELETE`.
2. The server neither sends nor accepts `Mcp-Session-Id`, so there is no session handshake to perform.
3. There is no standalone SSE stream and no `Last-Event-ID` resumption. If a response stream breaks, send the whole request again under a new JSON-RPC id.
Clients that already speak current streamable HTTP need no changes. Anything relying on the session handshake or the standalone SSE stream should stay on the previous release.

## Summary
Replace `github.com/mark3labs/mcp-go` with the official
`github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk v1.7.0`.
All 54 existing tools, scopes, CLI, `stdio` and HTTP (`/mcp`) modes, and
per-request authentication remain supported. This PR is limited to the SDK
equivalence migration; the stateless 2026 HTTP transport is deferred to a
follow-up PR.
## Verification
- Tool definitions were compared with `main` and matched for all 54 tools.
- `make lint`, `make fmt`, `go test -count=1 -race ./...`, `make build`, and
`make tidy` pass.

Net **-650 LOC** by removing duplication and dead noise. All tests pass.
### Duplication & helpers
- Extracted shared slim helpers (`UserLogin`, `UserLogins`, `LabelNames`, `BodyWithAttachments`, `UserDetail`, `Repo`/`Repos`, `Label`/`Labels`) into `pkg/slim`. Deleted the 4 copies that lived in `issue/`, `pull/`, `search/`, `repo/` (plus duplicate `slimUserDetail`/`slimRepo`/`slimLabels` across packages).
- Added `params.GetOptionalBoolPtr` and `params.GetOptionalStringPtr`. Replaced 18 awkward `new(localVar); if !ok { = nil }` patterns across `repo/`, `pull/`, `issue/`, `label/`, `milestone/`, `search/`.
- Extracted `pullRequestReviewerFn` for the 99%-identical `createPullRequestReviewerFn`/`deletePullRequestReviewerFn` pair.
### Dead code & noise
- Deleted **122** `log.Debugf("Called X")` narration lines (`zap.AddCaller` already records the caller) and pruned 19 unused `log` imports.
- Removed the unused `log.Logger` wrapper; the mcp-go server now uses `log.Default().Sugar()` directly (matches `util.Logger`).
- Deleted dead `s.DeleteTools("")` — confirmed no-op in mcp-go.
- Stripped WHAT-narration comments per project guidance.
### Correctness & consistency
- Fixed `log.Errorf(err.Error())` format-string bug in `pkg/to/to.go` — a `%` in the error would have been interpreted as a directive.
- Standardized `to.TextResult`/`to.ErrorResult` usage; `release.go`, `tag.go`, `branch.go` were bypassing the helpers in 9 sites (skipping the wrapper's debug/error logging).
- Made `params.GetString` reject empty strings; dropped 21 redundant `err != nil || x == ""` checks in `operation/actions/`.
- Replaced raw `args["org"].(string)` in `ListOrgReposFn` with `params.GetString` to match the rest of the codebase.
### Performance
- **Cached `*gitea.Client` by host+token via `sync.Map`** + shared `*http.Transport` via `sync.Once` for both SDK and raw REST paths. Eliminates the SDK's `/api/v1/version` preflight on every tool call and enables connection keep-alive across requests.
- Gated `to.TextResult` debug log behind `flag.Debug` to skip the `string(bytes)` allocation when debug is off.
- Hoisted `8192` and `60s` magic numbers in `pkg/gitea/rest.go` into named constants.

Reduce token usage by slimming tool responses. Instead of returning full Gitea SDK objects (with nested user/repo objects, avatars, permissions, etc.), each operation now has a colocated `slim.go` that extracts only the fields an LLM needs. List endpoints return even fewer fields than single-item endpoints.
Other changes:
- Add `params` helpers to DRY parameter extraction across 40+ handlers
- Remove `{"Result": ...}` wrapper for flatter responses
- Reduce default pageSize from 100 to 30
