The default port for the OAuth callback was changed from 7777 to a random OS-assigned port in #20895, but the documentation still stated that it defaulted to 7777. This commit updates the documentation to reflect the current behavior.

Code Review
This pull request updates the documentation for the MCP server's OAuth authentication to reflect that the default redirect URI now uses an OS-assigned random port instead of a hardcoded one. I have no feedback to provide.
Note: Security Review has been skipped due to the limited scope of the PR.

Summary
Update the MCP server documentation to accurately reflect the OAuth redirect port behavior. Following the refactor in #20895, the CLI now uses a random OS-assigned port for the OAuth callback by default instead of hardcoding port
7777. This prevents port collisions.Details
