MCP server toggles on re-start

[ReyNeill]

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

When the IDE re-starts or is opened or even updated, MCP servers toggle settings reset, often opening their corresponding auth browser windows, making it extra annoying.

Quick fix, thanks.

Hey, thanks for the report. I haven’t noticed this behavior. Could you share a list of your MCP servers, if they’re public and not your personal ones?

PS: I’d like to collab with the Cursor team on engineering tasks if positions are available
