Subject: [PATCH] Add MCP server unit tests

Comprehensive unit tests for the MCP server implementation:
- Protocol tests (initialize, tools/list, tools/call, prompts/list, prompts/get)
- Tool tests (check_kubeshark_status, start_kubeshark, stop_kubeshark)
- Hub integration tests (tool fetching, caching, prompt handling)
- Error handling tests
- Edge case tests
