Problem

Errors show up frequently in the Claude UI when MCP workspace operations "fail", creating a poor user experience during dogfooding.

Context

From initial dogfooding of the remote MCP integration with Claude.ai, users are experiencing frequent error displays in the Claude interface when workspace operations encounter issues.

Expected Behavior

• Errors should be handled gracefully with clear, actionable error messages
• Transient failures should be retried automatically where appropriate
• Error states should provide guidance on next steps for users

Current Behavior

• Errors appear frequently in Claude UI
• Error messages may not be user-friendly or actionable

Acceptance Criteria

• Audit current error handling in MCP workspace operations
• Implement graceful error handling with user-friendly messages
• Add retry logic for transient failures
• Test error scenarios during dogfooding

Priority

High - impacts user experience during dogfooding phase
