docs: Improve MCP-related pages (#32422)

Check the servers that are already available in Zed's extension store via either [the Zed website](https://zed.dev/extensions?filter=context-servers) or directly through the app by running the `zed: extensions` action or by going to the Agent Panel's top-right menu and looking for "View Server Extensions".
