bug: MCP servers and Skills broken end-to-end — full test and fix pass needed

[Al629176]

Summary

MCP Servers and Skills are both broken end-to-end. Installing, connecting, and using MCP servers or Skills from within OpenHuman does not work reliably. A full end-to-end test pass is needed to identify and fix all failure points across both surfaces.

What's Visible

Skills (Connections → Skills):

• Skills Explorer loads and shows the registry (86,586 packages) across sources: Anthropic, Claude Marketplace, ClawHub, HuggingFace, LobeHub, NVIDIA, OpenAI, browse.sh, built-in, gstack, optional, skills.sh
• Built-in skills (apple-notes, apple-reminders, findmy, imessage, claude-code, codex, etc.) all show an Install button — none appear to be active/working
• No clear status indicator showing whether an installed skill is actually functional or connected to the agent

MCP Servers (Connections → MCP Servers):

• inference.sh shows as installed (1) with a yellow/amber dot — status unclear (degraded? connecting?)
• Registry shows many servers (docs mcp, trading, aTars MCP, ABMeter, AdAdvisor, adeu, google ads, etc.) available to install
• No installed MCP server is confirmed working end-to-end with the agent

What Needs Testing (End-to-End)

MCP Servers

• Install an MCP server from the registry
• Server connects and shows green/healthy status
• Agent can discover and list the server's tools
• Agent can call an MCP tool and receive a valid response
• Uninstall removes the server and its tools from the agent

Skills

• Install a built-in skill (e.g. apple-reminders)
• Skill activates and its tools appear in the agent's tool list
• Agent can invoke the skill's tools end-to-end (e.g. list reminders)
• Install from URL works for a custom SKILL.md package
• Uninstall removes skill tools from the agent

Known Related Issues

• MCP server auth and OAuth handshake were recently reworked (PR Get MCP servers working end-to-end for the upcoming release #3495, feat(mcp): MCP servers usable by the agent end-to-end — auth, OAuth, agent bridge (#3495) #3648) — regression possible
• Skills runtime (QuickJS) was removed; skills are now metadata-only — tool surface may be broken as a result
• inference.sh amber dot suggests a connection issue with at least one installed server

Environment
