feat: implement comprehensive thinking modes and migrate to google-genai

Major improvements to thinking capabilities and API integration:

- Remove all output token limits for future-proof responses
- Add 5-level thinking mode system: minimal, low, medium, high, max
- Migrate from google-generativeai to google-genai library
- Implement native thinkingBudget support for Gemini 2.5 Pro
- Set medium thinking as default for all tools, max for think_deeper

🧠 Thinking Modes:
- minimal (128 tokens) - simple tasks
- low (2048 tokens) - basic reasoning
- medium (8192 tokens) - default for most tools
- high (16384 tokens) - complex analysis
- max (32768 tokens) - default for think_deeper

🔧 Technical Changes:
- Complete migration to google-genai>=1.19.0
- Remove google-generativeai dependency
- Add ThinkingConfig with thinking_budget parameter
- Update all tools to support thinking_mode parameter
- Comprehensive test suite with 37 passing unit tests
- CI-friendly testing (no API key required for unit tests)
- Live integration tests for API verification

🧪 Testing & CI:
- Add GitHub Actions workflow with multi-Python support
- Unit tests use mocks, no API key required
- Live integration tests optional with API key
- Contributing guide with development setup
- All tests pass without external dependencies

+# Contributing to Gemini MCP Server
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing! This guide explains how to set up the development environment and contribute to the project.
+
+## Development Setup
+
+1. **Clone the repository**
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/BeehiveInnovations/gemini-mcp-server.git
+   cd gemini-mcp-server
+   ```
+
+2. **Create virtual environment**
+   ```bash
+   python -m venv venv
+   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
+   ```
+
+3. **Install dependencies**
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Two Types of Tests
+
+#### 1. Unit Tests (Mandatory - No API Key Required)
+- **Location**: `tests/test_*.py` (except `test_live_integration.py`)
+- **Purpose**: Test logic, mocking, and functionality without API calls
+- **Run with**: `python -m pytest tests/ --ignore=tests/test_live_integration.py -v`
+- **GitHub Actions**: ✅ Always runs
+- **Coverage**: Measures code coverage
+
+#### 2. Live Integration Tests (Optional - API Key Required)
+- **Location**: `tests/test_live_integration.py` 
+- **Purpose**: Verify actual API integration works
+- **Run with**: `python tests/test_live_integration.py` (requires `GEMINI_API_KEY`)
+- **GitHub Actions**: 🔒 Only runs if `GEMINI_API_KEY` secret is set
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all unit tests (CI-friendly, no API key needed)
+python -m pytest tests/ --ignore=tests/test_live_integration.py -v
+
+# Run with coverage
+python -m pytest tests/ --ignore=tests/test_live_integration.py --cov=. --cov-report=html
+
+# Run live integration tests (requires API key)
+export GEMINI_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
+python tests/test_live_integration.py
+```
+
+## Code Quality
+
+### Formatting and Linting
+```bash
+# Install development tools
+pip install black ruff
+
+# Format code
+black .
+
+# Lint code
+ruff check .
+```
+
+### Pre-commit Checks
+Before submitting a PR, ensure:
+- [ ] All unit tests pass: `python -m pytest tests/ --ignore=tests/test_live_integration.py -v`
+- [ ] Code is formatted: `black --check .`
+- [ ] Code passes linting: `ruff check .`
+- [ ] Live tests work (if you have API access): `python tests/test_live_integration.py`
+
+## Adding New Features
+
+### Adding a New Tool
+
+1. **Create tool file**: `tools/your_tool.py`
+2. **Inherit from BaseTool**: Implement all required methods
+3. **Add system prompt**: Include prompt in `prompts/tool_prompts.py`
+4. **Register tool**: Add to `TOOLS` dict in `server.py`
+5. **Write tests**: Add unit tests that use mocks
+6. **Test live**: Verify with live API calls
+
+### Testing New Tools
+
+```python
+# Unit test example (tools/test_your_tool.py)
+@pytest.mark.asyncio
+@patch("tools.base.BaseTool.create_model")
+async def test_your_tool(self, mock_create_model):
+    mock_model = Mock()
+    mock_model.generate_content.return_value = Mock(
+        candidates=[Mock(content=Mock(parts=[Mock(text="Expected response")]))]
+    )
+    mock_create_model.return_value = mock_model
+    
+    tool = YourTool()
+    result = await tool.execute({"param": "value"})
+    
+    assert len(result) == 1
+    assert "Expected response" in result[0].text
+```
+
+## CI/CD Pipeline
+
+The GitHub Actions workflow:
+
+1. **Unit Tests**: Run on all Python versions (3.10, 3.11, 3.12)
+2. **Linting**: Check code formatting and style
+3. **Live Tests**: Only run if `GEMINI_API_KEY` secret is available
+
+### Key Features:
+- **✅ No API key required for PRs** - All contributors can run tests
+- **🔒 Live verification available** - Maintainers can verify API integration
+- **📊 Coverage reporting** - Track test coverage
+- **🐍 Multi-Python support** - Ensure compatibility
+
+## Contribution Guidelines
+
+### Pull Request Process
+
+1. **Fork the repository**
+2. **Create a feature branch**: `git checkout -b feature/your-feature`
+3. **Make your changes**
+4. **Add/update tests**
+5. **Run tests locally**: Ensure unit tests pass
+6. **Submit PR**: Include description of changes
+
+### Code Standards
+
+- **Follow existing patterns**: Look at existing tools for examples
+- **Add comprehensive tests**: Both unit tests (required) and live tests (recommended)
+- **Update documentation**: Update README if adding new features
+- **Use type hints**: All new code should include proper type annotations
+- **Keep it simple**: Follow SOLID principles and keep functions focused
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+- **Never commit API keys**: Use environment variables
+- **Validate inputs**: Always validate user inputs in tools
+- **Handle errors gracefully**: Provide meaningful error messages
+- **Follow security best practices**: Sanitize file paths, validate file access
+
+## Getting Help
+
+- **Issues**: Open an issue for bugs or feature requests
+- **Discussions**: Use GitHub Discussions for questions
+- **Documentation**: Check the README for usage examples

+### Enhanced Thinking Models
+
+All tools support a `thinking_mode` parameter that controls Gemini's thinking budget for deeper reasoning:
+

+"Use gemini to review auth.py with thinking_mode=max"
+"Get gemini to analyze the architecture with thinking_mode=medium"
+```
+
+**Thinking Modes:**
+- `minimal`: Minimum thinking (128 tokens for Gemini 2.5 Pro)
+- `low`: Light reasoning (2,048 token thinking budget)
+- `medium`: Balanced reasoning (8,192 token thinking budget - default for all tools)
+- `high`: Deep reasoning (16,384 token thinking budget)
+- `max`: Maximum reasoning (32,768 token thinking budget - default for think_deeper)
+
+**When to use:**
+- `minimal`: For simple, straightforward tasks
+- `low`: For tasks requiring basic reasoning
+- `medium`: For most development tasks (default)
+- `high`: For complex problems requiring thorough analysis
+- `max`: For the most complex problems requiring exhaustive reasoning
+
+**Note:** Gemini 2.5 Pro requires a minimum of 128 thinking tokens, so thinking cannot be fully disabled
+
 ## Configuration

+- **`DEFAULT_MODEL`**: `"gemini-2.5-pro-preview-06-05"` - The latest Gemini 2.5 Pro model with native thinking support
 - **`MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS`**: `1,000,000` - Maximum input context (1M tokens for Gemini 2.5 Pro)
-- **`MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS`**: `32,768` - Maximum output tokens per response
 
 ### Temperature Defaults

-### Customizing Output Length
-Each tool accepts an optional `max_tokens` parameter to override the default:
-```
-"Use gemini to analyze main.py with max_tokens 16000"
-"Get gemini to think deeper about this design with max_tokens 50000"

+python -m pytest tests/ --ignore=tests/test_live_integration.py -v
+
+# Run with coverage
+python -m pytest tests/ --ignore=tests/test_live_integration.py --cov=. --cov-report=html

+
+# Run live integration tests
+python tests/test_live_integration.py

+
+### GitHub Actions CI/CD
+The project includes GitHub Actions workflows that:
+
+- **✅ Run unit tests automatically** - No API key needed, uses mocks
+- **✅ Test on Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12** - Ensures compatibility
+- **✅ Run linting and formatting checks** - Maintains code quality  
+- **🔒 Run live tests only if API key is available** - Optional live verification
+
+The CI pipeline works without any secrets and will pass all tests using mocked responses. Live integration tests only run if a `GEMINI_API_KEY` secret is configured in the repository.
