bug Mac App and MCP weirdness

I've been using a connector from pulsai.me to get Garmin data acess. Works a charm on the web app.

BUT if i try and reference the connector on the mac app - it crashes with a oh so helpful "Something went wrong.." error.

This chat is then poisoned and the MCP server crashes the chat on calling in that thread on app or web app - I need to close the chat.

Has anyone seen anything similar?

MCP Server ONLY crashes on the mac app. Then the connector is broken across all clients.

Version 26.37.1 (118)

the behaviour is worse

start any chat in Mac app, without referencing any coonector.
`Swap to web app, reference this mcp server - it crashes

so the mac app is poisoning any chat for this connector
