Research direction
Start with the .vscode/mcp.json configuration described in the linked Salesforce documentation, then use the Command Palette's “MCP: Select Servers” flow to verify how the server is discovered. Reproduce the missing server and collect the requested version, MCP client, model, and configuration details; done means the Salesforce DX MCP server appears in the selectable server list.
