Python dependencies from plugin.json are probably ignored

[cybergrind]

Describe your issue here:

Plugin Another MCP Server is defining its python dependencies using a section in plugin.json file And it looks like binja is ignoring this section, or there is another issue with installation

{
	"dependencies": {
		"pip": [
			"binaryninja-mcp==0.3.0"
		]
	}
}

File itself: https://github.com/MCPPhalanx/binaryninja-mcp/blob/main/plugin.json

Binary Ninja uses the requirements.txt file for dependency installation. The dependencies section should be removed from plugin.json. We can update our docs to be more specific here.
