Adding uvx support to sktime-mcp: docs updated, lazy loading added.
The lazy loading change (DEMO_DATASETS → _get_demo_datasets()) is directly required for uvx to feel fast.
When uvx runs sktime-mcp, it spins up a fresh Python process every time. The old eager evaluation meant_discover_demo_datasets() — which uses inspect.getmembers() on sktime.datasets — ran at import time, adding ~1 second to every cold start before the MCP server could even respond to its first message.
With lazy loading, the module imports in ~0.3s and dataset discovery only happens the first time a tool actually needs it (load_dataset, list_datasets, export_code). Most MCP sessions never call those tools at all, so the cost is often never paid.
