Add MCP Registry Publishing to Release Workflow

Summary

Extends the release workflow to automatically publish the Redis MCP Server to the Model Context Protocol Registry alongside PyPI releases.

What's Changed

New Job: publish-mcp-registry

Adds automated publishing to the MCP Registry using GitHub OIDC authentication:

• Triggers: Runs on GitHub releases or manual workflow dispatch (when not in dry-run mode)
• Authentication: Uses GitHub OIDC (id-token: write permission) for secure, keyless publishing
• Version Sync: Automatically updates server.json with the release version
• Validation: Verifies server.json is valid JSON before publishing
• Dry-run Support: Respects the existing dry_run input to test without publishing

Updated server.json

• Removed OCI/Docker package entry (until Docker image versioning is resolved)
• Kept PyPI package configuration for registry publishing

Enhanced Success Notifications

• Added MCP Registry link to success notifications
• Updated messaging to reflect dual publishing (PyPI + MCP Registry)

How It Works

1. Version Detection: Extracts version from release tag or manual input
2. Update server.json: Injects the version into the MCP server manifest
3. Download Publisher: Fetches the official mcp-publisher CLI tool
4. Validate: Ensures server.json is valid JSON
5. Authenticate: Uses GitHub OIDC to authenticate with the registry
6. Publish: Submits the server to the MCP Registry

Workflow Steps

publish-mcp-registry:
  - Checkout repository
  - Update server.json version
  - Install MCP Publisher CLI
  - Verify server.json is valid
  - Login to MCP Registry (via GitHub OIDC)
  - Publish to registry
