POST/api/v1/mcp/servers/{id}/health-check

Trigger an immediate MCP server health check

Runs the same connectivity probe the 60s health-check cron uses, plus a tool-list fetch when the probe passes. Used by the registry UI's Test connection button and ops triage when a server flips to unreachable. Any org member can trigger — it's a read-only probe of an org-owned server, mutating only the server's own health_status row.
