Configuration not working in WSL (VS Code)

Symptoms: VS Code MCP config works on other machines or native Windows but not in WSL.

Cause: Local user settings are not applied in WSL environments.

Solution:

Configure MCP in the WSL-specific settings instead of local user settings:

1. Open the Command Palette → Preferences: Open Remote Settings.
2. Or select the Remote tab in the Settings editor.
3. Add your MCP server configuration there.
