No MCP server ran on central, so remote agents reached dev-hub only through a
reverse tunnel back to the workstation — routing a request for a service on
their own machine out to another host and back.
Adds a gated mcp Deployment and ClusterIP Service running the same image with
`-m mcp_server.server`, API_BASE defaulted to the in-cluster API Service, and
tcpSocket probes. No Ingress: the MCP layer proxies an unauthenticated API and
must not be reachable from outside the cluster.
Two fixes were needed before the manifests could work:
- server.py hardcoded host="127.0.0.1". A Service routes to the pod IP, so a
loopback bind is unreachable. Now MCP_HOST, still defaulting to loopback so
local runs do not silently expose an unauthenticated proxy.
- The container runs `-m mcp_server.server`, not the file path, so /app lands
on sys.path rather than /app/mcp_server.
mcp.enabled stays false in the deploy values: the running image predates
MCP_HOST, so enabling it before the tag is bumped would ship a pod that never
becomes reachable.
