🧭 Epic

Title: API Key support through queryparams
Goal: Currently MCP Context forge only supports API Key authentication to remote mcp servers only through headers.Need to extend the API key support to queryparams as well.For eg:Tavily remote mcp server supports API Key through queryparams.
Why now: :
Multiple third-party MCP servers are adopting queryparam-based API key authentication. Without this enhancement, MCP Context Forge users cannot integrate with such servers. Expanding support will remove integration barriers and align with broader MCP ecosystem patterns.
