[FEATURE]: Click MCP entries in the TUI sidebar to toggle them on/off #40521
I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
Problem
I have a lot of good MCPs to use, but I don't want them all taking up resources all the time.
The right-side sidebar already shows a list of MCP servers with their current status.
You can click the MCP header to expand/collapse the section, but the individual server rows are display-only.
To enable or disable an MCP you currently have to:
Type /mcp (or /mcps)
Or open the command palette → “Toggle MCPs”
Then use Space (or the dialog controls)
This is an extra step when the list of active MCPs is already visible right next to the conversation.
Proposed Solution
Make each MCP entry in the sidebar clickable so that clicking it toggles the server on/off for the current session (the same behavior that already exists in the /mcp dialog).
Clicking a connected/enabled MCP → disconnects / disables it
Clicking a disabled MCP → connects / enables it
Visual feedback (status indicator + maybe a brief highlight) should update immediately
The toggle should use the existing session-scoped MCP connect/disconnect logic
Why this would be useful
Faster workflow when you only need an MCP for a short time
Matches the “click what you see” interaction model that already works for the section headers
The toggle logic and mouse handling already exist in the TUI; this would just wire the sidebar rows to it
Additional context
Mouse support is already enabled by default ("mouse": true in tui.json).
The sidebar MCP section is rendered in the session view and already has onMouseDown handlers on the header.
For anyone still looking for this: #53871 makes each MCP row in the TUI sidebar toggle that server on click, without opening /mcps. It targets v1 dev, so it may be closed there, but the branch stays usable for anyone running v1.
