fix: prevent MCP server creation when setting is disabled (#6613)

* fix: prevent MCP server creation when setting is disabled

- Modified getFetchInstructionsDescription to conditionally include create_mcp_server task
- Updated getToolDescriptionsForMode to pass enableMcpServerCreation parameter
- Added tests to verify the conditional behavior
- Updated snapshot test to reflect the new expected behavior

Fixes #6607

* fix: address review comments - add JSDoc, null test, and clarify default behavior
