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 15.7.1 (24G231)

### Expected behaviour

When I ask:

> How do I install an mcp server on q cli

q should provide instructions based on documentation in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonq/latest/qdeveloper-ug/command-line-mcp-config-CLI.html.

### Actual behaviour

When I ask:

> How do I install an mcp server on q cli

q doesn't have knowledge on how to configure MCP servers.
