feat(docs): create bulletproof API documentation solution
- Add openapi.json served directly from GitHub Pages (most compatible) - Create comprehensive api-docs.html with copy-paste URLs for every tool - Include tool-specific instructions for Postman, Insomnia, Stoplight, etc. - Provide download links as fallback if URLs don't work - Test both JSON and YAML formats with JavaScript validation - Prioritize the 'guaranteed to work' approach over complex solutions This provides multiple fallback options so API docs will work regardless of CORS issues, tool compatibility, or format preferences.
