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

Fix client links in docs/server-quickstart.md to point to quickstart

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.

Replace Claude for Desktop with VS Code + Copilot in server quickstart
7d36279
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 references
This aligns the Python SDK quickstart with the TypeScript SDK, which
made the same change in modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk#1557.

Both links to `./client.md` were pointing to the comprehensive API

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

Fix client links in docs/server-quickstart.md to point to quickstart

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.

Claude for Desktop is not available on Linux, making it a stumbling

- 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 references
This aligns the Python SDK quickstart with the TypeScript SDK, which
made the same change in modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk#1557.
