Research direction

Start with the attached Toolkit log, log_2026-04-28_08-17-35_35632.txt, and reproduce the issue by installing one MCP server in the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio on Windows. Trace the active MCP Server list behavior; done means a single installed server is displayed immediately and MCP can be used.
