Proposed fix: [Crush MCP OAuth] '<server> does not support automatic OAuth client registration; register an OAuth app with the provider and set oauth_client_id'
Recommended action: Register an OAuth app with the provider and set oauth_client_id (+ secret if needed) under that MCP server in crush config.
Option: Register an OAuth app with the provider and set oauth_client_id (+ secret if needed) under that MCP server in crush config. [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Connecting to a remote MCP server that supports neither DCR nor client metadata docs
Steps:
1. Create an OAuth app at the provider with Crush's redirect URI
2. Add oauth_client_id / oauth_client_secret to the MCP server entry
3. Trigger interactive auth
Expected: The error no longer appears.
