Summary
Adds a short Windows/CLI note for the Claude Code CLI GitHub MCP setup when
claude mcp add-jsonreturns "Invalid input" for HTTP servers, and points users to the legacyclaude mcp add --transport http ...format. Also adds a PowerShell example for the legacy command when the CLI requires the MCP server name immediately afterclaude mcp add.Why
