Update README.md and docs/faq.md to link full quickstart guides

Now that the server and client quickstart tutorials have been imported,
update the README and FAQ to funnel newcomers to them. The README "Quick
Start" section is replaced with a "Getting Started" section that shows
an inline code snippet, links the two quickstart tutorials, and demotes
the advanced examples to a secondary mention. The "Documentation"
section is flattened into a single list with updated URLs. The FAQ
answer for "Where can I find runnable server examples?" now points to
`server-quickstart.md` first.

-## Quick Start (runnable examples)
+## Getting Started
 
-The runnable examples live under `examples/` and are kept in sync with the docs.
+Here is what an MCP server looks like. This minimal example exposes a single `greet` tool over stdio:
 
-1. **Install dependencies** (from repo root):
+```typescript
+import { McpServer, StdioServerTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/server';
+import * as z from 'zod/v4';
 
-```bash
-pnpm install
-```
-
-2. **Run a Streamable HTTP example server**:
-
-```bash
-pnpm --filter @modelcontextprotocol/examples-server exec tsx src/simpleStreamableHttp.ts
-```
+const server = new McpServer({ name: 'greeting-server', version: '1.0.0' });
 
-Alternatively, from within the example package:
+server.registerTool(
+  'greet',
+  {
+    description: 'Greet someone by name',
+    inputSchema: z.object({ name: z.string() }),
+  },
+  async ({ name }) => ({
+    content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Hello, ${name}!` }],
+  }),
+);
 
-```bash
-cd examples/server
-pnpm tsx src/simpleStreamableHttp.ts
-```
-
-3. **Run the interactive client in another terminal**:
+async function main() {
+  const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
+  await server.connect(transport);
+}
 
-```bash
-pnpm --filter @modelcontextprotocol/examples-client exec tsx src/simpleStreamableHttp.ts
+main();
 ```

 ### Where can I find runnable server examples?
 
-The SDK ships several runnable server examples under `examples/server/src`. Start from the server examples index in [`examples/server/README.md`](../examples/server/README.md) and the entry-point quick start in the root [`README.md`](../README.md).
+The [server quickstart](./server-quickstart.md) walks you through building a weather server from scratch. Its complete source lives in [`examples/server-quickstart/`](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk/tree/main/examples/server-quickstart/). For more advanced examples (OAuth, streaming, sessions, etc.), see the server examples index in [`examples/server/README.md`](../examples/server/README.md).
