npx modelcontextprotocol/inspector#0.18.0 command fails in zsh, should use npm scoped package syntax #369

Description

@TwilightTechie

The MCP Inspector launch command documented in several guides uses the GitHub shorthand syntax:

npx modelcontextprotocol/inspector#0.18.0
This fails in zsh (the default shell on macOS) because # is interpreted as a glob character:
Error:
zsh: no matches found: modelcontextprotocol/inspector#0.18.0

The CLI tab sections in the same docs already use the correct npm scoped package syntax:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector@0.18.0
The UI tab sections should be updated to match.

Affected pages: static-mcp, dynamic-mcp, multiplex, https, mcp-auth-setup, mcp-access (JWT auth)
