docs: one-click Add to Cursor / Install in VS Code badges

[johnxie]

What & why

The Quick Start only showed copy-paste JSON. These deep-link install badges write the npx @taskade/mcp-server config straight into the client — the highest-ROI README conversion change.

• Add to Cursor → cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=taskade&config=<base64>
• Install in VS Code → vscode:mcp/install?<url-encoded config> (prompts for the API key via ${input:…})

Zero-regression

• Markdown only; both configs decode back to the documented npx stdio config (verified round-trip).
• Badge images via shields.io (guaranteed render); custom URI schemes are the established MCP-badge pattern (github-mcp-server etc.).

Deliberately scoped out (would 404 today)

• Glama / Smithery / MCP-Registry badges need live listings with known slugs — add them once ci: publish to the official MCP Registry on release #39 (registry publish) and the directory listings land (P10). Adding them now would render broken badges.

Stacked on

• Base docs: lead with Taskade's story (demote n8n, add ToC) #41 → fix: reconcile advertised tool count to 57 #40 → main. Will auto-retarget as the chain merges.
