feat: Support fal MCP Server #488

Description

Summary

I tried to add the fal.ai MCP server, but was unable to as it assumed it needed OAuth.

See: https://fal.ai/docs/documentation/setting-up/mcp#other-mcp-clients

Edit: See additional info but was Abel to setup using the add json but could be improved DX by allowing the add and for it not to think it needs OAuth when this MCP server does not.

Expected Behavior

A setup and configured MCP server for fal.ai.

Also adding the header option is nice so can set the auth header in the add. Perhaps this is possible with add-json, but that's not very terminal friendly to do.

Actual Behavior

Does not setup MCP server.

Steps to reproduce the issue

first tried:

cmd mcp add --transport http fal-ai \
  https://mcp.fal.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <my-api-key>

but that asked for OAuth and did https://auth.fal.ai/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=command-code&redirect_uri=XXXX&code_challenge=4B2giHGR8eGid708raKhuVhFheiSVwjjzuDZa8Sa4Ak&code_challenge_method=S256&scope=openid+profile+email+offline_access which fal did not know how to handle
