Summary

Follow-up docs to #32053. Tells users how to complete MCP OAuth from a remote/SSH host — either via the new paste-back path or an SSH port forward.

Changes

  • website/docs/guides/oauth-over-ssh.md: add MCP servers to the providers table, new "MCP Servers" section covering paste-back, SSH -L tunnel, and the 30s config-auto-reload race pitfall.
  • website/docs/user-guide/features/mcp.md: new "OAuth-authenticated HTTP servers" section under HTTP servers, covering auth: oauth config, token cache path, headless options, same reload-race pitfall, cross-link to the OAuth-over-SSH guide.

Validation

Docusaurus build runs to completion on the docs phase — the only warnings/errors come from a pre-existing missing data/skills.json (unrelated).

…MCP OAuth

Follow-up to #32053. The OAuth-over-SSH guide and the MCP feature page
previously only covered xAI and Spotify. Now that MCP servers can complete
OAuth via stdin paste-back on remote/headless hosts, document it.

oauth-over-ssh.md:
- Add MCP servers to the 'Which Providers Need This' table.
- New 'MCP Servers' section covering: paste-back (no setup, works
  anywhere), SSH port forward (same pattern as xAI/Spotify), and the 30s
  config-auto-reload race pitfall (use 'hermes mcp login <server>' from a
  fresh terminal instead of editing config from inside a running session).

mcp.md:
- New 'OAuth-authenticated HTTP servers' section under HTTP servers,
  covering auth: oauth config, token cache path, paste-back vs SSH
  tunnel for headless hosts, and the same reload-race pitfall.
- Cross-links to the OAuth-over-SSH guide anchor.
