feat: add serve command to mount MCP as SSE server

It is possible to mount the mcp to an SSE server. Add a new command 'codemcp serve' which mounts the MCP as an SSE server. Set CORS so claude.ai is allowed. Below is sample code how to do this.

```git-revs
5ef9e25  (Base revision)
a65616f  Snapshot before codemcp change
50c8fcb  Add uvicorn and starlette as explicit dependencies
3262e89  Add imports for SSE server implementation
dd5e30f  Add create_sse_app function and serve CLI command
7882368  Add end-to-end test for serve command
d9b4eef  Add documentation for the serve command in README.md
1ce6649  Snapshot before auto-format
c7911f9  Auto-commit format changes
b87cc99  Auto-commit lint changes
83e50c0  Add main.py to ignoreExtraErrors for type checking
088e9c2  Add other modules to ignoreExtraErrors for type checking
9b988b4  Add requests as a dev dependency for tests
a2b5170  Add sse_app method to FastMCP stub
58b418f  Simplify test to avoid external dependency on requests
HEAD     Add pytest-asyncio as a dev dependency

+### Using with claude.ai web interface
+
+You can also use codemcp with the Claude web interface at claude.ai by running the SSE server:
+
+```bash
+codemcp serve
+```
+
+This will start a local SSE server on port 8000 that can be connected to from claude.ai. The server
+has CORS enabled for claude.ai by default. You can customize the host, port, and allowed CORS origins:
+
+```bash
+codemcp serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8765 --cors-origin https://claude.ai --cors-origin https://example.com
+```
