Problem
Third parties are unable to inspect the MCP server and its available tools without having a valid OpsLevel API token.
To better support aggregators like Glama.ai, security scanners, contributors, etc. who might use MCP Inspector or other tools without a valid OpsLevel API key, we should allow this.
Solution
Allow the server to start without authorizing, but still return 401 Unauthorized for any tool requests.
