Problem

The MCP Quickstart is well-written per step, but a new (non-technical) user finds it messy because the one fact that gates everything — "can I even add this connector?" — is scattered across mid-page hints:

  • paid-plan requirement + admin-only-in-a-workspace appear as afterthought hints after Step 1, again in Installation, and again in Troubleshooting.

So the reader only discovers whether they can proceed after trying (and possibly failing). The info exists 4× but is never the first thing they see.

Fix (surgical — EN Quickstart only)

Add a "First — which one are you?" decision table at the very top, before Step 1, so users self-route in one glance:

Situation Action
Solo / personal paid plan Add it yourself
Company workspace, you're the admin Add it yourself; teammates Connect
Company workspace, not admin Send admin the Admin setup guide → then Connect
Can't add / no admin Claude Desktop .dxt (no-admin install)

Then trim the now-redundant mid-step hint to a pointer to the full Installation walkthrough. No step-by-step content changed; +14/−1 lines.

Not in this PR (flagged separately)

  • fr/leadbay-mcp/quickstart.md is stale — it leads with .dxt as "recommended", uses the old leadbay/leadclaw GitHub URL (repo renamed to leadbay/mcp), and says "ChatGPT support coming soon" (it's shipped). The FR MCP docs need a broader refresh to match EN — larger scope, worth its own PR.

Draft — for review by whoever owns the docs voice.

The connector's real gate — paid plan + admin-only in a company workspace —
was scattered across mid-page hints, so a reader only discovered whether they
COULD add the connector after trying (and maybe failing). Surface it up front
as a 4-row decision table (solo-paid / admin / member→ask admin / no-admin→.dxt)
before Step 1, so users self-route in one glance. Trim the now-redundant
mid-step hint to a pointer to the full Installation walkthrough.
