If you've previously accessed your jellyfin server directly from the browser that saw "Add server", that is not unusual.
When you access your Jellyfin, one of the pieces of information your server sends is an ID.
Jellyfin caches a bunch of data in your browser, including this ID. If you access your server with a different address, but it sees the same ID, "Add a server" is what you'll see.
If someone accesses your server for the first time, which means it hasn't cached any data or IDs, they would see the login prompt.
