Error message

t("common.something_went_wrong")

What it means

handleCreateLibraryItem in McpView creates an MCP/plugin library item, but requires an authorable kind (plugin/mcp config) selected and a createLibraryItem callback prop supplied by the parent. If either is missing it throws the localized "common.something_went_wrong" instead of calling an undefined function.

Solutions

1. Ensure the parent passes a createLibraryItem prop to McpView
2. Complete the add-flow selection (setAddAuthorableKind) before allowing submit
3. Guard/disable the submit button until a kind is selected

Example fix

// before
<McpView onAddAction={...} /> // missing createLibraryItem
// after
<McpView onAddAction={...} createLibraryItem={createLibraryItem} />

if (!addAuthorableKind || !props.createLibraryItem) {
  showToast(t("common.something_went_wrong"));
  return;
}

const canCreate = (
  k: unknown,
  fn: unknown,
): k is CreateLibraryItemInput => k != null && typeof fn === "function";

try {
  await handleCreateLibraryItem(input);
} catch (e) {
  if ((e as Error).message.includes("something_went_wrong")) resetAddFlow();
  else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Submitting the create-library-item dialog when no addAuthorableKind was set (handleAddAction not completed) or the parent did not pass props.createLibraryItem.

Common situations: Parent view rendered McpView without wiring createLibraryItem; user somehow submits the add form before choosing an item type; state reset between dialog open and submit.
