Summary
After adding a custom MCP connector that fails to authenticate, there is no option to delete or remove the connector. The user is left in a stuck state with a non-functional connector and no way to clean it up.
Actual Behavior
The connector is saved but fails to authenticate
There is no delete, remove, or disconnect option visible for the connector
The user is stuck with a broken, unauthenticated connector with no recovery path

What Should Happen?
Either the connector is rejected at save time with a clear validation error, or
The connector is saved but can be subsequently deleted/removed from the connectors list
Environment
