Add a Windows/CLI note that `claude mcp add-json` may return "Invalid input"
when adding an HTTP server, and point users to the legacy `claude mcp add
--transport http ...` format.

Also add a Windows (PowerShell) example for the legacy command when the CLI
expects the MCP server name immediately after `claude mcp add`.
