Hi @howardjohn,
Thanks for this, just want to request a small fix for toast behavior.
When failing to connect to an MCP server, its very hard to understand why. There is only an opaque "Connection Error" message with no additional info. This also doesn't change at all on repeated attempts, so there is no indication we attempted again and failed. This change introduces a `toast` to visualize the error, and adds the `cause` into the error message for further debugging

Thanks for speaking up. It was set to automerge, I suppose I walked away and for some reason it didn't automatically run the CI. |
