Devid HW 896aa6111e feat: auto-detect and register MCP on multiple platforms

- Add multi-platform MCP detection (Claude, Windsurf, Cursor, VS Code)
- Auto-unregister previous installations before reinstall
- Create platform-specific docs (CURSOR.md, VSCODE.md, ANTIGRAVITY.md)
- Update Windsurf config to use correct JSON path (~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json)
- Fix VS Code config format (uses 'servers' not 'mcpServers')
- Remove MT5_MCP_HOME requirement from MCP configs (binary auto-detects)
- Slim down README installation section with platform table
- Update QUICKSTART.md with all platform instructions

VS Code MCP Integration Setup

Quick Setup

Option 1: Download Prebuilt Binary (Recommended)

# macOS (Apple Silicon)
curl -L -o mt5-quant.tar.gz https://github.com/masdevid/mt5-mcp/releases/latest/download/mt5-quant-macos-arm64.tar.gz
tar -xzf mt5-quant.tar.gz

# Linux (x64)
curl -L -o mt5-quant.tar.gz https://github.com/masdevid/mt5-mcp/releases/latest/download/mt5-quant-linux-x64.tar.gz
tar -xzf mt5-quant.tar.gz

Option 2: Build from Source

cargo build --release

Configure VS Code

Method 1: Command Palette (Recommended)

Press Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P
Run MCP: Add Server
Choose Workspace or User scope
Enter server name: mt5-quant
Enter command: Full path to binary (e.g., /Users/name/mt5-quant/target/release/mt5-quant)

Method 2: Edit mcp.json Directly

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "mt5-quant": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/mt5-quant"
    }
  }
}

Create the file:

mkdir -p .vscode
cat > .vscode/mcp.json << 'EOF'
{
  "servers": {
    "mt5-quant": {
      "command": "/path/to/mt5-quant"
    }
  }
}
EOF

Method 3: VS Code CLI

code --add-mcp '{"name":"mt5-quant","command":"/path/to/mt5-quant"}'

Verify Setup

In Copilot chat, type:

Run verify_setup

Expected output:

Wine:    /Applications/MetaTrader 5.app/.../wine64
MT5 dir: ~/Library/Application Support/.../MetaTrader 5
Display: gui
Arch:    arch -x86_64

Configuration Locations

Scope	Path	Use Case
Workspace	`.vscode/mcp.json`	Share with team via source control
User	`~/.vscode/mcp.json`	Personal tools across all projects
Dev Container	`devcontainer.json` → `customizations.vscode.mcp`	Containerized environments

Troubleshooting

MCP server not appearing

Open Output panel (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + U)
Select MCP from dropdown
Check for connection errors
Verify the path is absolute

Config not found

The binary auto-detects its config, but you can also:

Run setup.sh to create config/mt5-quant.yaml
Or let the binary auto-discover on first run

Dev Container Setup

Add to .devcontainer/devcontainer.json:

{
  "customizations": {
    "vscode": {
      "mcp": {
        "servers": {
          "mt5-quant": {
            "command": "/path/to/mt5-quant"
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Key Differences from Other IDEs

VS Code uses servers (not mcpServers) in the JSON structure:

{
  "servers": {        // ← VS Code uses "servers"
    "mt5-quant": {
      "command": "..."
    }
  }
}

Other platforms use mcpServers.
