Add the possibility to filter MCP tools

Cursor limits the amount to tools in MCP to 40, which is an understandable design decision.

Nevertheless, I use 2 MCPs right now, mcp-atlassian and gitlab-mcp. Together, they serve 52 tools. Of those, 20 are totally irrelevant for any workflow I can think about for my work, and 10 more are very seldomly relevant.

One example, today I was prompting something like

Look up issue ABC-123

The model started to look for the issue in Gitlab. :person_facepalming:

Being able to selectively enable relevant tools (in mcp.json file?) would help me (as i know that all my tools are passed to the model) and the model (as it only sees the relevant tools).

Please consider implementing such a thing!

I’m in the same boat. I just added github and jira and immediately hit 40 tools limit! my Cursor trial lasted for 10 minutes to learn that it’s kind of useless if you’re trying to make use of MCP tools

Hey, I think we’ll implement this soon.
