/**
 * Initializes and starts the Auth0 MCP server to provide AI assistants
 * with secure, controlled access to Auth0 Management API capabilities.
 *
 * This server acts as a secure bridge between AI models and Auth0 APIs,
 * enforcing proper authentication, authorization, and validation at every step.
 * The server validates credentials before any operations and continuously
 * monitors token validity during operation to prevent security issues.
 *
 * Security architecture:
 * - Initial user-friendly validation occurs in `run.ts` with detailed CLI feedback
 * - Startup validation here provides a secondary checkpoint
 * - Continuous validation during tool calls ensures credentials remain valid
 * - Token expiration checking prevents use of expired credentials
 *
 * This multi-layered approach balances security requirements with developer
 * experience by providing appropriate feedback at each stage.
 *
 * Key responsibilities include:
 * - Securing access to Auth0 Management API
 * - Validating user credentials and token expiration
 * - Automatically refreshing invalid configurations when possible
 * - Exposing selected tools based on user permissions and preferences
 * - Handling MCP protocol requests through configured transports
 *
 * @param {ServerOptions} [options] - Optional configuration for tool filtering and read-only mode
 * @returns {Promise<Server>} The initialized MCP server instance
 * @throws {Error} If configuration validation fails or server setup encounters errors
