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/sonarsource/sonarqube-mcp

Needs credentials: SONARQUBE_TOKEN. 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.
