Blog Post Operations: documentId Fix

Issue

Blog post operations were failing with 404 errors because they were using numeric id instead of string documentId.

Root Cause

• Strapi 5 uses documentId (string) for single document operations
• Initial implementation used numeric id parameter
• Created blog posts returned documentId in response, but operations expected id

Fix Applied

1. Schema Updates: Changed all blog post operation schemas from id: { type: 'number' } to document_id: { type: 'string' }

feat: Add strapi_upload_file Tool

Context

Requirements

• Tool Name: strapi_upload_file
• Inputs: filePath (string, required), fileInfo (object: altText, caption, name).
• Output: JSON object containing the Strapi File ID and URL.
• API: U
