[Feature Request] Optimize MCP server startup to reduce connection timeouts

Bug Description
maybe the way mcp servers spin up needs to be optimized so that it doesnt cause issues with tccd...

claude helped me diagnose...

1. The Documents folder lockout was caused by tccd (macOS privacy daemon)

crashing under load from ~72 node processes

1. Cleaned up MCP config — playwright + context7 now global only, removed

puppeteer, eliminated duplicates across 4 project configs

1. Process count down from 72 node / 18 claude to 18 node / 4 claude

Keep an eye on stale Claude sessions going forward — each one holds onto MCP
processes even when idle.
