test(mcp_cli): add 4-case coverage for argv dispatch + ImportError fallback

Covers mcp_cli.py lines 111-122 (doctor / --help subcommands) and
lines 138-140 (MOLECULE_WORKSPACES stderr output), plus the
register_workspace_token ImportError fallback at lines 181-185.
mcp_cli.py: 85% → 87% — now 7pp above the 2026-06-04
per-file floor of 80%.
