Nitpicking here, but instead of using the App icons as the main icon of the MCP and the MCP icon as a subheader, can we just use the MCP as the new icon type for them? Using the sub icon, for example, to indicate that a DB is MCP compatible, makes sense. From a UX perspective, I would want to be able to quickly visually parse MCPs in a list of available resources to me.

The MCP Gateway remains a permanent fixture in the UI within the connection
list at the top left.

What is the UX if I click on the DB Connect button outside of this flow? Do I see a separate MCP connect section?
