Fixes #1654

Four small fixes to docs/modelcontextprotocol-io/quickstart.mdx so the tutorial works when pasted top to bottom:

  • Clone quickstart-resources over HTTPS instead of SSH. The tutorial only asks for a GitHub account, not an SSH key.
  • Drop the second cd weather-server-typescript in Step 2. The prerequisites block already ends in that directory, so running it again fails.
  • Label the Homebrew tab in Step 3's CodeGroup.
  • Show 1.0.1 in the Step 4 mcp-publisher init sample output, and remove the version bump from the edit diff that follows. Since feat(publisher): copy version from package.json and prefer mcpName in init #1145, init copies version from package.json, which the tutorial has already set to 1.0.1.

To check the last item, I built mcp-publisher from main and ran init next to the tutorial's package.json. The server.json it wrote matches the new sample exactly.

@Srinivasan-78 offered to send a PR for the other items; happy to close this if you'd rather do it.

I used Claude Code to write this change and the PR description.

Use an HTTPS clone URL, drop a duplicate cd in Step 2, label the
Homebrew tab, and show the version that mcp-publisher init actually
copies from package.json (1.0.1) in the Step 4 sample output.

Fixes modelcontextprotocol#1654

Quickstart: SSH clone URL, a duplicate cd, and a version mismatch in the init sample break the copy-paste path
