Pull Request Overview

This PR adds a warning to the CLI guide documentation to alert users about potential configuration issues when providing custom arguments to MCP servers. The warning explains that custom arguments replace registry defaults entirely, which could cause servers to fail if essential default arguments are omitted.

Key changes:

  • Added a warning section explaining the behavior of custom arguments overriding registry defaults
  • Provided a command example to check existing default arguments before adding custom ones
