Updates the Client credentials section to accurately describe what content is returned from
/authed/mcpwhen using client credentials.Before: "return the same content as an authenticated user with access to all pages."
Sometimes: "return all content from public pages and authenticated pages that aren't scoped to specific groups."

Note
Low Risk
Low risk documentation-only change; no code or behavior is modified.
Overview
Updates the MCP docs to clarify that client credentials against
/authed/mcpreturn public content plus authenticated content not restricted to specific groups, rather than implying access to all pages like a fully privileged authenticated user.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 76327d7. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
