Description
Small thing, but it adds friction every single time someone connects a new server. The name field has no default, so the user has to think of something and type it in.
Pre-fill the name from the provider (for example, "GitHub" if they're connecting to github mcp), and let the user rename it afterward if they want something different.

Research direction
Start by tracing the UI flow for connecting a new MCP server and locating where the blank name field is initialized from the provider. Pre-fill it with the provider name while preserving the ability to rename it, then verify that new connections show the default and edited names remain supported.
