Ability to Restart / Re-enable MCP servers / tools in a running session

[kjingers]

Feature Request: A dedicated way to enable/disable/re-launch MCP servers (and possibly tools)

Similar to /mcp in the CLI, and the MCP tools menu in VSCode extension

Background:

I notice for sessions I keep open for a while the MCP tools go away (which is expected). Is there a way to restart the MCP servers / tools in a session in the GHCP app? I found I can summarize + create a new session, which starts the mcps and tools in a fresh session. But was wondering if there was a good way to restart the tools in the same conversation? Or a better way to manage that?

I know /mcp exists for the CLI. And in VSCode - we are able to disable+reenable MCP servers and tools. But I'm not sure the best way in GHCP app.

I've tried quitting and restarting the GHCP app, (which apparently does a restart_session, which should restart MCP servers), but this does not work for me. I think that may have worked once - but not consistently.
