Most stdio Node/TS MCP repos (linkedin-mcpserver, typical fastmcp projects, etc.) follow the same pattern: tsc compiles src/*.ts to build/*.js and the executable entry is build/index.js. Surface that as the recommended setup so users don't paste `npm run start:dev` (a long-running server command) into Build commands and break startup. - Wizard repository step: spawn-command placeholder is now `node build/index.js`; the Build commands help text recommends `npm install` + `npm run build`; one-click "⚡ Pre-fill Node/TS" button populates all three at once. - README "Part 3.5" walkthrough: new "Recommended for Node/TypeScript repos" callout with the field/value table, and an explicit warning not to put long-running server commands in Build commands. - README YAML example: switched to `node build/index.js` and the real LINKEDIN_CLIENT_ID / LINKEDIN_CLIENT_SECRET keys from the repo.
