What's Wrong?

After upgrading Claude Desktop from v1.20186 to v1.21459, the Install/Uninstall button for Desktop Connectors is disabled (greyed out) in the Connectors list.

This issue has been reproduced on both macOS and Windows across multiple machines.

Because the button is disabled, users can no longer install or remove custom Desktop Connectors.

This appears to be a regression, as the same workflow works correctly on v1.20186.

What Should Happen?

The Install/Uninstall button should remain enabled in the Connectors list after upgrading Claude Desktop so users can continue installing and removing Desktop Connectors.
