install SSH Session MCP 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 SSH Session MCP.

paste into

workspace: .vscode/mcp.json  (project root — committed with the repo)

user: ~/.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "ssh-session": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ssh-session-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

then: VS Code picks up the change. Run 'MCP: List Servers' from the command palette to verify.
