…f --mcp Update documentation to reflect that MCP is enabled by default: - cli.md: Show `gh aw init` as default with MCP, `--no-mcp` to skip - mcp-server.md: Remove deprecated `--mcp` flag from examples (2 locations) - Clarify that `--mcp` is kept for backward compatibility but hidden Fixes inconsistency between source code (pkg/cli/init_command.go lines 74-80) and documentation where --mcp was incorrectly shown as opt-in flag.

Remove deprecated --mcp flag from install wizard documentation: - Line 13: Example command narration - Line 84: Step 2 initialization command Both locations now correctly show `gh aw init` without --mcp flag, with note that MCP is enabled by default.
