admin/user mode

[drernie]

Right now, the MCP server bundles both user and admin tools, which is optimal for local mode, but for remote deployments (and even some local use cases) it would reduce context overhead to only use one or the other.

So, please add a mode flag to the uvx run command for:

• admin: also requires admin authentication
• user
• full (default)

Status: Valid feature request

Recommendation: Add mode flag to reduce context overhead:

uvx quilt-mcp --mode=admin    # Admin tools only (requires auth)
uvx quilt-mcp --mode=user     # User tools only
uvx quilt-mcp --mode=full     # All tools (default)

Benefits:

• Lower context size for remote deployments
• Clear separation of concerns
• Better resource utilization

Implementation approach:

1. Add --mode CLI argument in main.py
2. Filter tool registration based on mode
3. Add mode to server metadata
4. Update documentation

Effort: 4-6 hours (implementation + tests + docs)

Priority: Medium - nice optimization for production deployments
