Subject: [PATCH] Give 'claude mcp login' a real terminal under curl | bash
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Reported from a colleague's first install: MCP sign-in always failed with
"stdin isn't a terminal, so authentication can't be completed here".

Under `curl … | bash` this script's stdin IS the pipe, and the login
subcommand inherits it. The prompts already read /dev/tty explicitly; the
login call now does too.
