Add VS Code tasks for quick MCP server testing

I created PR #148 that adds useful VS Code tasks (⇧⌘P / Ctrl+Shift+P) for testing MCP servers. These shortcuts would make development smoother.

The PR adds a .vscode/tasks.json with tasks that work on the currently open server.yaml file:

  • Test Workflow runs validate → catalog → import sequence automatically
  • task validate validates the server config and shows detailed output
  • task build builds Docker image (for docker-built servers)
  • task catalog generates local catalog.yaml for testing
  • docker mcp catalog import imports catalog to Docker Desktop
  • docker pull image pulls the Docker image specified in server.yaml
  • task wizard for interactive server configuration
  • task reset clears the MCP catalog

These shortcuts make it much faster to test server changes without typing out the full commands each time and provide a great overview of the tools available for testing.
