Real incident: pasting gethomepage.dev's example args array (JSON, quotes/commas/brackets and all) into the plain "Arguments" field produced tokens like "mcp-remote," with the comma baked in, which crashed npx with EINVALIDTAGNAME on the literal package name "mcp-remote,". The existing char-by-char tokenizer treats quote characters as its own quoting mechanism and consumes them, so a JSON array's per-item quotes never get stripped and commas outside them become part of the token. parseArguments now tries decoding a well-formed JSON array of strings first (only when the whole trimmed input is bracket-wrapped valid JSON), falling back to the original shell-style tokenizer otherwise — so pasting a server's args straight from its JSON config now works. Tooltip and help doc updated; a partial paste (e.g. missing the opening bracket) still isn't valid JSON and falls back as before, documented as a known limitation rather than silently guessed at.
