Can I tutor up Archetype of Endurance with Mwonvuli Beast Tracker?
The Gatherer page for Mwonvuli Beast Tracker has the following ruling:"The creature card must have one of the listed abilities, not an ability that grants one of the listed abilities to the creature. For example, you couldnt put Prized Elephant, which has : Prized Elephant gains trample until end of turn, on top of your library this way."
My understanding is that Archetype of Endurance's hexproof is due to an ability, but it's from a static ability, where the example provided is an activated ability. Does the fact that it's static and not activated or triggered make any difference?

No you can not. The creature does not have hexproof.
If it stated "hexproof, other creatures you control gain hexproof", then it would be a different story. The creature doesn't have it, but it grants itself the ability. Kind of strange, but it is what it is.
