fix(plugins): read the mem0 CLI key and ignore unexpanded host placeholders

The Python plugin core and the opencode, pi and deepseek plugins now fall back to the key `mem0 init` saves in ~/.mem0/config.json, so a configured CLI is enough to authenticate. The Python core also stops using or caching a literal ${api_key} left behind when a host (Cursor) does not expand its plugin variables, which is what kept asking for auth after the key was set.

Fixes #7346

<Tip>
Already set up the [Mem0 CLI](/platform/cli) with `mem0 init`? The full plugin (Option A) also reads the key it saved in `~/.mem0/config.json`, so you can skip this step. That includes Cursor opened from the Dock, which does not load your shell profile. A key from the plugin configuration or the environment takes precedence.
</Tip>
<Warning>
Already have `mem0` configured as an MCP server in Cursor? Remove the existing entry from your Cursor MCP settings before installing to avoid duplicate tools.

## Troubleshooting
- **"Connection failed"**: Verify `MEM0_API_KEY` is set: `echo $MEM0_API_KEY`
- **Still asked for an API key**: Run `mem0 init` with the [Mem0 CLI](/platform/cli). The full plugin falls back to the key it saves.
- **Duplicate tools**: Do not combine the full plugin with an MCP-only option. Remove the standalone `mem0` MCP entry before installing the plugin.
- **No tools appearing**: Go to Cursor Settings > MCP and verify the `mem0` server shows as connected
