This seems to be listing code implementations of classes for the most part. Not sure how useful that is.
Text here lives/should live in JSDoc. these are just different classes exported by the library; I don't see any value in barebones listing them in markdown.
It'd be better to see them as they're being imported / used.

Yea and then there's the headache of always keeping them up to date. I guess I will move the JSDoc to the actual classes itself and link to the class here for the API reference.

Proposed changes
This PR adds a guide targeting developers, explaining how to extend the MongoDB MCP server using the exports available from the library. Includes working code examples for the following use-cases:
Most of the document was written by CoPilot, so it'd be nice to actually ready through it once. I have ensured correctness of the material particularly API reference and examples.
The library exports were also modified a bit to support the examples mentioned in the guide.
Depends on #766
