Follow-up to #31. That PR fixed the base64 config shape, but the badge link still points at https://cursor.com/install-mcp?..., which doesn't actually trigger an install when clicked from a rendered README.

Per Cursor's install-links docs, the canonical scheme is cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?.... Commit ab27f51 originally used this scheme; 5bd10c2 removed the button, and a6a62af reintroduced it with the broken https form.

Test plan

  • Click the badge on the rendered README; confirm the browser hands off to Cursor and the install dialog appears
  • Confirm the dialog shows command=uvx, args=["mcp-server-plaid"], and the two env placeholders
  • Replace the ADD_YOUR_* placeholders and verify the server starts

PR #31 fixed the base64 config shape, but the link still uses
https://cursor.com/install-mcp, which doesn't actually trigger an
install. Per Cursor's docs at cursor.com/docs/context/mcp/install-links,
the canonical scheme is cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install.
This was the scheme commit ab27f51 originally used before the button
was removed in 5bd10c2 and reintroduced in the broken https form in a6a62af.
