I’m having some issues trying to connect my claude code to the pulumi mcp. I am logged into pulumi, but is it expecting other variables in the environment?  I get `pulumi: npx @pulumi/mcp-server@latest - ✗ Failed to connect`, the current CLI is `3.194.0`.

Added with `claude mcp add pulumi -s user -- npx @pulumi/mcp-server@latest`, so

```    "pulumi": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@pulumi/mcp-server@latest"
      ],
      "env": {}
    }```

```claude mcp list
Checking MCP server health...

playwright: npx @playwright/mcp@latest - ✓ Connected
codeIndexer: npx @zilliz/claude-context-mcp@latest - ✓ Connected
mui: npx @mui/mcp@latest - ✓ Connected
gcloud: npx @google-cloud/gcloud-mcp@latest - ✓ Connected
context7: <https://mcp.context7.com/mcp> (HTTP) - ✓ Connected
pulumi: npx @pulumi/mcp-server@latest - ✗ Failed to connect```

try one that looks more or less like this:
```{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pulumi": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@pulumi/mcp-server@latest", "stdio"]
    },
    "fetch": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-fetch"]
    }
  }
}```
mine was also giving me `✗ Failed to connect` until I added "stdio" to args array.

Thank you, this worked for claude: `claude mcp add pulumi -s user -- npx @pulumi/mcp-server@latest stdio`  which produced:

```    "pulumi": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@pulumi/mcp-server@latest",
        "stdio"
      ],
      "env": {}
    }```

Seems strange to append that arg, haven’t seen that on others
