This PR fixes the Cursor MCP server configuration with two changes:

  1. Fix the MCP config format: The url-only format doesn't properly trigger the OAuth flow in Cursor. Updated to use npx mcp-remote with command and args, which properly handles the HTTP transport and OAuth authentication.

  2. Add one-click deeplink installer: Makes installation easier by providing a deeplink button, with manual config available as a fallback.

Changes:

  • Fix Cursor JSON config to use mcp-remote transport
  • Add Cursor deeplink button as primary installation method
  • Add OAuth authorization notice
  • Move manual config to "Or add manually to your config" details expander

The url-only format doesn't properly trigger the OAuth flow in Cursor. The
correct format uses npx mcp-remote with command and args, which properly
handles the HTTP transport and OAuth authentication.
Prioritize the one-click deeplink installer over manual config editing to
improve UX. Users can now click a button to install the TanStack MCP server
in Cursor, with manual config available as a fallback option.
