Refresh a default "Install to VS Code" MCP button #8748
Description
MCP install buttons are all over the place in their design and wording; ambigious with their CI/CD-badge styles. Meanwhile, MCP install buttons for other editors are bigger and nicely branded.

The blue button is still a bit small and hidden on GH, I find. It would blend in with any tailwind design.
