Request: Provide a Public Container Image

Hi, thanks for open-sourcing this project!

Since sas-mcp-server is a server component and already includes a Dockerfile, could you please consider publishing a pre-built container image to Docker Hub or GitHub Container Registry (GHCR)?

Having an official image such as:

• ghcr.io/sassoftware/sas-mcp-server
  or
• docker.io/sassoftware/sas-mcp-server

would make it much easier for users to deploy and test the server without building it manually.

Thank you!

If helpful, you could also set up a simple GitHub Actions workflow to automatically build and publish the container image whenever code is pushed (e.g., to the main branch). Since the project already includes a Dockerfile, a minimal workflow might look like this:

name: Auto-Publish Docker Image
on:
  push:
    branches: [ "main" ]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - uses: docker/login-action@v3
        with:
          registry: ghcr.io
          username: ${{ github.actor }}
          password: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

      - uses: docker/build-push-action@v6
        with:
          push: true
          tags: ghcr.io/sassoftware/sas-mcp-server:latest

This would allow users to pull a ready-to-use image without manually building it.
