Install and configure FlixBridge MCP for me.

Requirements:
1) Install package: @thesammykins/flixbridge
2) Generate MCP config for Claude Desktop using command "npx" and args ["@thesammykins/flixbridge"]
3) Include these env vars in the config with my values:
   - SONARR_URL
   - SONARR_API_KEY
   - RADARR_URL
   - RADARR_API_KEY
   - SABNZBD_URL (optional)
   - SABNZBD_API_KEY (optional)
4) Return only:
   - exact install command(s)
   - exact claude_desktop_config.json snippet
   - a 3-step verification checklist
5) After setup, remind me to call list_services first.
