I don’t know how this is thought thru.. but just by adding github I fill already around 20 Tools…
thats a pointless limit. I have very few MCP-Servers but have already 59 Tools…
i think it needs around 100 as limit or the option to disable some tools you don’t need from a MCP-Server
The actual limit right now is 80, and the next build makes it clearer that 40 is just a limit to warn you that you might be degrading performance, but most models will accept up to 80.
what happens if th limit is reached? since I had the feeling if it goes over the limit of 40 tools, it disables randomly MCP Servers.. could it be?
it woudl very good if you can disable tools fine granularily

Working on this right now actually
I think one possibility for alleviating this might have to do with custom modes. You can create a custom mode and tell it which MPC servers it has access to. The problem with it is that if the server is disabled, the mode can’t use it.
If cursor made it so that you could turn on tools just for a mode, it could make things smoother. For example, switch to Project Manager role, and I get access to task managment MCP. Web developer role and I get puppeteer. Then the 40/80 tool limit becomes a limit per mode.
Between that and being able to disable individual tools, I think would go a long way toward making MCP much more usable.
