Naming a locally-configured MCP server where a claude.ai connector is expected now gives a distinct host_unavailable error.

Publishing or declaring capabilities now surfaces a distinct host_unavailable error when a name refers to a locally-configured MCP server rather than a claude.ai connector. The error explains that host-configured servers aren't available in that session and points to using the connector's display name instead, or clearing the mcp capability.
