Apparently not

:lady_beetle: Provide a clear description of the bug

I’m not sure if this is related to docker or the way cursor launches the containers but whenever I open cursor up I also launches a lot of separated terminal windows dedicated to each MCP Server per cursor instance.
It does not affect my work but sure it is annoying, it opens them and start blinking untill I click on all of those windows.

Whenever a new instance of cursor is launched or when toggling enabled of a tool in the MCP Servers section

Same, when ever I use a MCP with docker it will open 2 cmd’s per MCP. Anyway to get around this or to not have them visible show like hiding them somehow?
