Cline is not starting MCP servers insufficient documentation? #85

I'm brand new to MCP and excited to start using MCP Security. I believe I have configured the cline_mcp_settings.json file correctly following the documentation usage guide.

However, when I try to use cline.bot in vscode, I get this message:

I can see your MCP settings file with 4 security-related MCP servers configured. However, MCP servers need to be started by your MCP client (VSCode with Cline extension) - I cannot directly start them myself.

Next I tried running the gti mcp server myself but I thought from the usage guide that Cline would do this for me. However, it is unclear if my gti mcp server is really running and if so, what to do with it:

(env3.13.1) joseph@hwsrv-978720:~/githubrepo/mcp-security$ uv --directory /home/joseph/githubrepo/mcp-security/server/secops/secops_mcp run server.py
warning: VIRTUAL_ENV=/home/joseph/env3.13.1 does not match the project environment path /home/joseph/githubrepo/mcp-security/server/secops/.venv and will be ignored; use --active to target the active environment instead
Using CPython 3.13.1 interpreter at: /home/joseph/.pyenv/versions/3.13.1/bin/python3
Creating virtual environment at: /home/joseph/githubrepo/mcp-security/server/secops/.venv
Built secops-mcp @ file:///home/joseph/githubrepo/mcp-security/server/secops
Installed 46 packages in 87ms

It would be nice if the documentation could describe configuring the mcp security servers or a prerequisite could be added to a generic mcp tutorial.
