We would like to run all OpenAI compatibility tests using only the openai-client library. This is most friendly for contributors since they can run tests without needing to update the client-sdks (which is getting easier but still a long pole.)
This is the first step in enabling that -- no using "library client" for any of the Responses tests. This seems like a reasonable trade-off since the usage of an embeddeble library client for Responses (or any OpenAI-compatible) behavior seems to be not very common. To do this, we needed to enable MCP tests (which only worked in library client mode) for server mode.
