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 15.6.1 (24G90)

### Expected behaviour

Should be able to create Agents either from the CLI or from the Q Chat itself.

I'll note that the command _does_ seem to create the agent (the json file appears in the cli-agents folder) but just errors out in the terminal

Perhaps some remnant from the migration from profiles to agents? I do have a default agent set.. but I also tried with having it fall back to the in-memory configuration (I couldn't find a way to 'unset' the default agent

### Actual behaviour

```
q agent create --name "test1234" -vvv
..._Did not include all output from verbose command_...
2025-09-02T15:49:01.898558Z ERROR chat_cli::cli::agent: 869: Error loading global mcp json path: No such file or directory (os error 2).
error:
0: No such file or directory (os error 2)
```

```
[default] > /agent create --name "test1234"

Failed to execute command: No such file or directory (os error 2)
```
