Add mcp search tool, lazy mcp load, reduce mcp tool occupying a lot of context

What feature would you like to see?
When MCP tool descriptions exceed 10% of the context window, they are automatically deferred and discovered via the MCPSearch tool instead of being loaded upfront. This reduces context usage for users with many MCP tools configured.
