But why would you show the MCP server URL as a clickable link in the first place, if it's not meant to be clicked? Put it in a monospaced box with a "copy to clipboard" button, it's not the fault of the user for not "thinking ahead" when they click a clickable link that wasn't actually meant to be clicked.

I call this "dev think". Blames user for not thinking ahead when they themselves haven't thought ahead about how users use things. It's everywhere these days, as an end user of things myself, it's maddening.

All kinds of tools make it really difficult to not make a URL clickable and even if it wasn't clickable they might still put it in address bar...
