Add JSON schema file for MCP server.json format to enable schema versioning and IDE support. This schema will be served at https://static.modelcontextprotocol.io/schemas/2025-07-09/server.schema.json to support the $schema property added in modelcontextprotocol/registry#308. The hosted schema enables: - Self-describing server.json files - IDE validation and autocomplete - Version tracking for schema evolution - Better tooling integration Supports modelcontextprotocol/registry#308
