Issue

Fixes #7868

Context

The MCP guide explains the settings UI flow, but it does not clearly say which config file to edit when adding a server through the UI is unavailable or fails.

Implementation

Add a short fallback note to the MCP setup section that points users to the project and global Kilo config files and the top-level mcp key.

Screenshots / Video

N/A, docs-only copy change.

How to Test

Manual/local verification

  • Reviewed the updated MCP setup section for placement and Markdoc syntax.
  • Ran git diff --check.

Reviewer test steps

  1. Open the MCP guide.
  2. Confirm the "Editing MCP Settings" section now explains which Kilo config file to edit if the UI cannot add a server.

Blocked checks and substitute verification

  • bun run --filter @kilocode/kilo-docs build could not be run because Bun is not installed in this Windows session; substitute verification was the focused Markdown/Markdoc review and git diff --check.

Checklist

  • Issue linked above, or exception explained
  • Tests/verification described
  • Screenshots/video included for visual changes, or marked N/A
  • Changeset considered for user-facing changes
  • I personally reviewed the diff and can explain the changes.

WARNING

File Line Issue
packages/kilo-docs/pages/automate/mcp/using-in-kilo-code.md 32 The new fallback note only points to .kilo/kilo.json[c], which can send users to create a second project config instead of editing an existing ./kilo.json[c].
