Why do you guys keep changing the way MCP servers are called. For example. I use an app called tynn.ai to handle my project scope. I had a entry in the allow list for tynn:* and that was working perfectly for all projects. Now every project I have is asking permission to run the mcp tools and it’s using a funky syntax like project-0_app-tynn:next. This should just be tynn:next
What’s going on? I’m seeing this same issue with other mcp servers as well.
Hey, thanks for the report.
The team is working on fixing the auto-run allowlist system for MCP tools.
To help with debugging, can you share:
As a temporary workaround, try updating the allowlist patterns using the new format with project prefixes.

And here is it requesting to use a tool from a different mcp server.
