Subject: [PATCH] feat: add Exa and Chrome DevTools as one-click MCP server
 options (Vibe Kanban) (#1801)

* I've added the Exa Code MCP server as a one-click install option. Here's what was configured:

**Changes made to `crates/executors/default_mcp.json`:**

1. **Server configuration** (lines 23-33):
   - Command: `npx -y exa-mcp-server`
   - Tools enabled: `web_search_exa` and `get_code_context_exa` (as requested)
   - Environment variable: `EXA_API_KEY` (required for authentication)

2. **Metadata** (lines 53-58):
   - Name: "Exa"
   - Description: "Web search and code context retrieval powered by Exa AI"
   - URL: https://docs.exa.ai/reference/exa-mcp
   - Icon: `mcp/exa_logo.svg` (already exists)

The Exa MCP server icon was already present in the frontend public assets at `frontend/public/mcp/exa_logo.svg`.

* Done. I've added Chrome DevTools MCP as a one-click install option:

**Server configuration** (lines 34-39):
- Command: `npx chrome-devtools-mcp@latest`
- No environment variables required

**Metadata** (lines 65-70):
- Name: "Chrome DevTools"
- Description: "Browser automation, debugging and performance analysis with Chrome DevTools"
- URL: https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp
- Icon: `mcp/chrome_devtools_logo.svg`

* The issue was that `justify-center` and `gap-3` were interfering with Embla Carousel's scroll calculations. Embla uses a specific margin/padding system (`-ml-4` on the content container and `pl-4` on items) to handle spacing and scroll positions. Adding `justify-center` shifts items in a way that breaks the scroll math, making it impossible to scroll to the leftmost items.

The fix removes these conflicting classes from `CarouselContent`.
