Mark `BKB_API_URL` as required since the upstream binary defaults to `http://127.0.0.1:3000`, not the public hosted API. Co-Authored-By: HAL 9000 Signed-off-by: Elias Rohrer <dev@tnull.de>
Add `BKB_API_URL` env var to CLI instructions and clarify that the variable is required, with the public API at \`https://bitcoinknowledge.dev\` as the recommended value. Co-Authored-By: HAL 9000 Signed-off-by: Elias Rohrer <dev@tnull.de>

This registry entry advertises cmd=bkb-mcp, but Desktop deeplinks reject any stdio command outside the hard-coded allowlist in ui/desktop/src/components/settings/extensions/deeplink.ts:getStdioConfig (cu, docker, jbang, npx, uvx, goosed, npx.cmd, i-ching-mcp-server). Because the Extensions page builds its install URL directly from servers.json via documentation/src/utils/install-links.ts, clicking Install for this new extension will raise Invalid command instead of opening the add-extension flow, so Desktop users cannot install it through the advertised one-click path.

BKB_API_URL in the quick-install deeplink
The quick-install link omits any env= parameter even though this page’s UI/CLI sections and servers.json both treat BKB_API_URL as required. In Desktop, deeplinks without env vars are installed immediately instead of opening the env-var modal (ui/desktop/src/components/settings/extensions/deeplink.ts:addExtensionFromDeepLink), so a reader who follows this 2-step quick start gets a bkb-mcp config that never prompts for the API URL and falls back to the server’s localhost default unless they are self-hosting BKB.
