Description
Currently, when we run
defang mcp setup, the command attempts to write the config. One edge case I didn’t account for is when an mcp.json file already exists but is empty or just has a bunch of white spaces. Right now, we don’t overwrite it (though we should, since it’s empty). If the file exists and contains invalid JSON, we just return an error.I also updated the messaging to tell user to update their IDE to the new version for the best experenice.
This PR will fix the mention edge case.
