- PR #80975: fix(mcp): append token query param for HTTP/SSE and redact URLs in dashboard (#61562)

Members mostly concern authentication for MCP servers in the web dashboard, including adding headers support to the create API and UI, token query parameters for HTTP/SSE, and URL redaction. Two titles are identical, and one bug report titled 'MCP UI Token' gives little detail, so the exact relationship between them is not fully clear.
