Pull request overview
Updates the README’s “MCP Server (Optional)” section to clarify that the Upsun MCP Server uses OAuth2 authentication by default, with UPSUN_API_TOKEN documented as an optional alternative for API-token auth.
Changes:
- Rewords the MCP Server enablement instructions to frame OAuth2 as the default authentication path.
- Adds guidance for Claude Code sign-in and keeps API-token setup instructions as an alternative.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

The MCP server authenticates via OAuth2 by default; users only need to set UPSUN_API_TOKEN when they want API-token auth instead. The previous text implied the env var was required. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
The README's MCP Server section read as if
UPSUN_API_TOKENwas required to enable the server. In practice, the server authenticates via OAuth2 by default — users only need to set the env var if they prefer API-token auth.Updates the section to describe both paths, with OAuth2 framed as the default.
No config changes.
