Motivation and Context

Microsoft uses mcr.microsoft.com to host our public containers. These are syndicated to Docker Hub but image references use mcr.microsoft.com which is not currently supported by the Official MCP Registry.

See #753.

Microsoft teams want to use MCR-based images for Microsoft MCP servers.
I believe we should be adding ACR support as well, so that our customers using Azure Container Registry can use the MCP Registry as well.

In short, MCR is used for Microsoft managed containers. ACR is a solution for Azure customers to host their own containers.

How Has This Been Tested?

Unit tests.

Manual test: local push of a server.json with mcr.microsoft.com/azure-sdk/azure-mcp:2.0.0-beta.1 and azurearcjumpstart.azurecr.io/hello-arc:latest in it. The error is now about missing annotation not unsupported OCI registry.
