install code-review-mcp-server on VS Code

Requires Node 18+ on your system so npx can fetch the package on first run. 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 code-review-mcp-server.

paste into
workspace: .vscode/mcp.json (project root — committed with the repo)
user: ~/.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "code-review-tool": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "code-review-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "github_token",
        "NOTION_API_KEY": "notion_api_key",
        "NOTION_CODE_REVIEW_GUIDELINE_CODE_BLOCK_URL": "notion_code_block_url_here",
        "NOTION_STYLE_GUIDELINE_CODE_BLOCK_URL": "notion_code_block_url_here",
        "LOCAL_INSTRUCTIONS_FILE_PATH": "/path/to/complete-instructions.md",
        "IGNORE_PATTERNS": "pattern1,pattern2,pattern3"
      }
    }
  }
}
then: VS Code picks up the change. Run 'MCP: List Servers' from the command palette to verify.
