Description
### Checks
- [x] I have searched [github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues](https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues?q=) and there are no duplicates of my issue
- [x] I have run `q doctor` in the affected terminal session
- [x] I have run `q restart` and replicated the issue again
### Operating system
macos
### Expected behaviour
mcp server available in `/tools` list
### Actual behaviour
mcp.json is added to .amazonq/mcp.json according to https://github.com/awslabs/mcp/blob/main/src/aws-documentation-mcp-server/README.md
but q-cli does not see this config and is not adding to tools
```
> /tools
Current tool permissions:
- execute_bash Write-only commands [Default]
- report_issue Trusted [Default]
- use_aws Write-only commands [Default]
- fs_write Per-request [Default]
- fs_read Trusted [Default]
```
there should appear:
```
- awslabs.aws-documentation-mcp-server ___read_documentation
- awslabs.aws-documentation-mcp-server ___search_documentation
```
to be able use aws mcp when prompting
