fix(assistant): use internal fetch for MCP on workers

[onmax]

Follow-up to #1304.
related vercel/ai#13449

Summary

The assistant handler creates an MCP client that fetches the same worker's /mcp endpoint. On Cloudflare Workers this triggers error 1042 (self-fetch recursion protection), so /__docus__/assistant always returns 500.

The fix creates a custom MCP transport that uses event.fetch (Nitro's localFetch) instead of event.$fetch (which maps to globalThis.$fetch → global fetch() → CF self-fetch error). On CF Workers:

• event.fetch → useNitroApp().localFetch (internal routing, no HTTP)
• event.$fetch → globalThis.$fetch → fetch() (external HTTP, blocked by CF)

External MCP servers and local dev still use the standard HTTP transport.

Thanks a lot for the PR!

StreamableHTTPClientTransport (which is used internally by createMCPClient) already accepts a fetch option, so you could drop the custom transport and use new StreamableHTTPClientTransport IMO. Could you have a try and tell me if it works in your case?
