Research direction

The log shows mcp-server-appwrite rejecting the --users argument, and its usage line lists only --transport, --host, --port and --console-url. Find where this plugin's MCP configuration passes arguments to that server and check whether --users comes from there or from a mismatched package version. Done when the server starts and connects without the unrecognized-argument error.
