Remote file support for mcp run #1409

Description

I have a tiny MCP server published on Github (20 lines of Python). Instead of putting in 100x more plumbing work to get it published to PyPi, then have people clone/install, I'd rather just say: here is the uvx command to run it from the raw Github file.

uvx itself supports this kind of feature using the --from syntax, so a possible interface would be:

uvx --with "mcp[cli]" mcp run --from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/uhinze/domain-mcp/refs/heads/main/main.py
