Research direction

Start with the custom MCP server configuration in .github/mcp.json and compare its HTTP OAuth behavior with the working `/mcp auth` flow. Reproduce the setup for https://mcp.app.wiz.io/ without headers or a client ID, then trace whether an auth page appears on the connector page or in a new chat; done means the login flow loads as expected.
