Fixed AttributeError where selected_servers was accessed before initialization.
The issue was that Component.__init__() calls _discover_component_files()
which tried to access self.selected_servers before it was set.
Solution: Initialize selected_servers and server_docs_map before calling
super().__init__() to ensure they're available when needed.
Fixes:
- mcp_docs component now properly discovered and listed
- Installation commands work correctly with mcp_docs
- Dry-run installations complete successfully
