MCP enabled/disable preferences persistance

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Hi Team,
Can you do a small improvement to IDE/CLI? I want to have stored preferences on when enable disable certain MCP integrations. I have several MCPs connected manually or via plugin, but every time I create a new window all of them try to connect, even when I disable them before using toggle. I’d like to enable/disable them once and the setting be to persisted in my profile and reflected when new window is oppened. Also when disabled should not be included in the agent’s context. It should be simple but very useful feature.

Thanks!
