Install

The sweep pulls the image and runs it in a throwaway container, but this is the command a user would run:

docker run -i --rm docker.io/grafana/mcp-grafana:1.1.0

Needs credentials: GRAFANA_URL. The probe used placeholder values, so an amber needs credentials result below means the server asked for the real ones, not that it is broken. Maintainers: how to go green.
