pietrozullo ad42b4bb3e docs: noindex auto-generated Python API reference instead of searchable flag
The searchable: false approach on the API Reference tab was inert on
visible tabs. Switch to per-page noindex: true frontmatter, which keeps
pages in the sidebar but excludes them from search indexing (search
engines, internal docs search, and AI context) so generic queries like
"CLI" surface curated guides instead of the generated reference.

Applied to all 73 existing reference pages and emitted by the generator
on every regeneration.

Closes MCP-2398

return f"Hello \{token.claims.get('email')\}"
```
```python
from mcp_use.server.auth.dependencies import get_access_token
```
**Returns**

```
</Card>
## require_auth
<Card type="info">
