Both links to `./client.md` were pointing to the comprehensive API reference guide, but readers in the server quickstart tutorial would expect a beginner-friendly tutorial. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Claude for Desktop is not available on Linux, making it a stumbling block for the server quickstart. Replace the testing instructions with VS Code + GitHub Copilot, which works on all platforms and is free to use. - Replace `claude_desktop_config.json` setup with `.vscode/mcp.json` - Replace Claude Desktop troubleshooting with VS Code-specific guidance - Generalize "under the hood" section to say "LLM" instead of "Claude" - Update intro/summary references in `docs/documents.md` - Remove link to legacy debugging guide Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
