mcp-permanent-11-to-7-desktop-bridge-architecture-decision

Excalidraw, notebooklm-mcp, researchclaw, and hostinger-admin moved from VPS-permanent to Claude Desktop Custom Connectors (public HTTPS, no-auth). Permanent list reduced from 11 to 7: sequential-thinking, vault-mcp, graphiti-mcp, omnigraph, openspace-mcp, xint, serena. xint retained permanent because its Bearer token auth is structurally incompatible with Desktop OAuth DCR — Desktop connector never sends the Bearer header.
