install civic-agent-kit on VS Code

Requires the runtime declared in the upstream repo — check the README before running. VS Code (Copilot) uses a `servers` root key with an explicit `type` field — different from the `mcpServers` shape used by Claude Desktop and Cursor. Paste the config below, then follow the reload step to register civic-agent-kit.

paste into
workspace: .vscode/mcp.json (project root — committed with the repo)
user: ~/.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "civic-agent-kit": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "civic-agent-kit"
      ]
    }
  }
}
then: VS Code picks up the change. Run 'MCP: List Servers' from the command palette to verify.
