The old redirect format (/redirect/mcp/install?name=...&config=...) returns HTTP 400. Updated to the current format used by Playwright MCP and other Microsoft MCP servers: /redirect?url=vscode%3Amcp%2Finstall%3F... Also updated badge images to match the current shields.io format (the old 'logo=visualstudiocode' slug no longer renders an icon). Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The first link isn't supposed to be for insiders. And our default installation isn't supposed to be using the NPM package anymore, it is supposed to be using the remote MCP Server. And installing the MCP without using the plugin will mean that the skill doesn't guide the behavior. I think we should just remove these buttons.
