Update arcade-mcp-server docs (#597 )

1. Updates docs to prefer `uv run server.py` instead of `arcade mcp` or
`python -m arcade_mcp_server`
2. Found a bug with running stdio servers while updating the docs, so i
snuck that in this PR

00 - Hello World

The simplest possible MCP server with a single tool using arcade-mcp-server.

Running the Example

Run (HTTP default): uv run 00_hello_world.py
Run (stdio for Claude Desktop): uv run 00_hello_world.py stdio

Source Code

--8<-- "docs/examples/00_hello_world.py"

Key Concepts

Minimal Setup: Create MCPApp, define tools with @app.tool, and run with app.run()
Direct Execution: Run your server file directly with uv run or python
Transport Flexibility: Works with both stdio (for Claude Desktop) and HTTP
Type Annotations: Use Annotated to provide descriptions for parameters and return values
Command Line Args: Pass transport type as command line argument
