### Feature request for product/service Chat ### Describe the request I would like the ability to quickly toggle mcp servers used in a chat directly in the chat in the same way we can select Agent or model to be used. The main reason for this is that tool descriptions do add up and it is not always necessary to have all mcp servers enabled. In fact, some mcp servers are almost like rules and it should probably even be possible to set an mcp server to be used “Intelligently” based on request and description of the server. At the very least though it would be very convenient to be able to select which MCP servers are to be used when working in the chat. ---

This would be great feature. ChatGPT has a good UI for this.
