- **Real-Time Connection Status**: New backend APIs and React Query hooks provide live MCP server connection monitoring with automatic UI updates
- **OAuth Flow Components**: Complete MCPConfigDialog, ServerInitializationSection, and CustomUserVarsSection with OAuth URL handling and polling-based completion
- **Enhanced Server Selection**: MCPSelect component with connection-aware filtering, visual status indicators, and better credential management UX
(still needs a lot of refinement since there is bloat/unused vars and functions leftover from the ideation phase on how to approach OAuth and connection statuses)
