Description
### Feature Description
Enable Hosted Remote MCP deployment from the VS Code extension.
Users should be able to select **`MCP`** as the `ApiType` and click **Deploy**, which provisions a managed SQL MCP server. Under the hood, this should invoke the same ARM APIs used by this workflow:
[Create a hosted MCP server](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/connector-namespace/hosted-mcp-quickstart?pivots=sql#create-a-hosted-mcp-server)
The result of this operation is a ready-to-use MCP endpoint that users can immediately start consuming.
### Problem and Motivation
There is currently no one-click deployment option for remote MCP hosting from the development experience. Users must navigate to the Azure portal and manually perform the deployment steps.
See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/connector-namespace/connector-namespace-hosted-mcp

Research direction
Start by locating the extension's ApiType selection and Deploy flow, then read the linked hosted MCP ARM workflow and Azure documentation. Determine how the MCP option should provision the managed SQL MCP server and expose its endpoint. Done means users can select MCP, click Deploy, and receive a ready-to-use remote MCP endpoint.
