You do not have permission to view MCP servers for this team

Error message

You do not have permission to view MCP servers for this team.

What it means

Authorization check for GET /v1/mcp/server?team_id=: the caller is not a proxy admin and the team object fetched from the DB (check_db_only) shows the caller's user_id is not a member of the requested team, so listing that team's MCP servers is denied.
